Beanbag Games Can Be A Lot Of Fun

By Megan Landry


If family fun is what you need at the moment, then beanbag games would be your best bet. These children-friendly games are safe for the entire family to enjoy at home, after all. They can be played indoors or outdoors, too, so you can have a good time when the sun is out in the afternoon or even when the clouds look grey.

A lot of people love bean bags and the fun that they provide at home. This is mainly because they don't need to be scared about getting hurt since there aren't any sharp or harmful equipment involved with them. If you have young children around the house, that means you won't have to worry too much about them playing nor will you have to watch their every move, either.

If there are toddlers in your house, then chances are they are fond of placing practically anything into their mouths. If this is the case, then you need to keep a very close eye out and make sure they do not do so. If you can't be around to watch the kids play, then it would be advisable to only let kids that are three and older play with the beanbags instead. Naturally, adults can try these games out whenever they want to.

For kids, the games will usually involve a board with faces of monsters, animals or cartoon characters on it. There would be several holes on the board, too. A few small bean bags would be needed to play the game, too, of course.

Depending on the age of the children playing, you can make the holes big or small. The older the kids, the smaller the holes should be. Either way, the goal should be to shoot the bags into one of the holes. Points will then be given depending on how big of a hole the bag was shot into. Older kids are going to love the competitiveness that comes with this game because they already understand how scores work and will want to beat each other's scores in the process.

For kids aged three to four, it would be best to keep the holes slightly big, so they won't have too much trouble playing the game and will actually enjoy doing so. Even if there isn't any scoring system in place for the younger kids, they are sure to enjoy playing with the bags. Just being able to get the beanbags into the holes should be enough satisfaction for them overall.

For adults, there are many games that are specially made to be played outdoors. A lot of the time, though, they will consist of a wooden board in the shape of a rectangle that has a hole located on the very top part. As with the kid's version, the main goal would be to shoot the bag in the hole.

You can even add all sorts of different mechanics of your choice, like a certain distance to shoot from or an amount of times to get the bag into the hole in a row. Points can then be given out according to the rules and mechanics. No matter how old you might be, you are sure to enjoy these beanbag games. The best part is that the whole family can even bond through them.
