Outside is the place to be this summer. Forget TV and video
games, get out and get active. Bean Bag Toss is a classic game that is fun for
kids of all ages! Have a family or neighborhood Bean Bag Toss Tournament
setting up skills challenges and awarding prizes. Here are a few challenge
ideas:
Most beanbags in the target in a minute - One child
throws while the other children bring the bags back so they can keep on going.
Who is the fastest and most accurate thrower of all?
Best of six - Can you get all six bags through the
target? Whoever finishes with the most through wins! Ties must go to a
“throw-off” to determine the winner!
Trick Shots – Can you make a shot backwards over your
head? How about throwing it between your legs? What about a sky hook? Place the
beanbag on the top of your foot and kick it into the goal. Create a series of 7
challenges using trick shots to spell out the word “Beanbag”. Try each trick
shot until you succeed. The first person to complete the shots and the word
wins!
Blindfolded Toss – How is your aim when you’re
blindfolded? A silly challenge to see who can get the best out of six tries to
hit the target while blindfolded.
Increase the distance - First stand 2 feet back and
throw all six bags. Move back another 2 feet and try it again. Keep moving back
two feet at a time until you just can’t hit the target. Keep score for each
distance. The once with the highest total score wins!
Diggin’s Pop Out Beanbag Toss is fun and portable for use
anywhere so it’s perfect for this kind of fun activity.
Prizes can be as simple as popsicles for everyone, little
dollar store trophies or a trip to the zoo. Now get out there and get active!
