Instructions to Make a Baggo

Homemade Baggo beanbag games and Cornhole games are often used at community events to entertain children. Beanbags are tossed through holes that are cut into a colorfully painted board. Each hole is given a number to determine how many points it is worth. This style of school carnival game is easy to make for people who have simple hand-tool skills. It is possible for an experienced craftsperson to help a group of children to make their own personalized Baggo board and bean bags to use at a community event or fundraiser.

Instructions

    • 1

      Saw the plywood to the desired size of your game board with a handsaw. Alternatively, ask the hardware store to cut the plywood to the desired size at the time of purchase.

    • 2

      Paint the plywood board with a solid color of paint. Let the paint dry. Add a second coat of paint to the board. Let the second coat of paint dry completely.

    • 3

      Draw the desired number of circles onto the painted plywood board with a pencil by tracing around a coffee can lid.

    • 4

      Drill a hole through the center of each circle with a doorknob-hole drill bit. Use a metal file to make the holes larger when necessary.

    • 5

      Sand all rough edges smooth around the holes and along the sides of the Baggo board with a piece of course sandpaper.

    • 6

      Paint point numbers above or below each hole in a size that is easy to read from a distance. Let the paint dry. Glue or paint themed pictures, club emblems, or designs onto the painted Baggo board to make the game look festive.

    • 7

      Fill a number of small Ziploc baggies with a large handful of beans, tiny pebbles, or rice. Remove the air from the Ziploc bags with your hands while closing the top of the bags.

    • 8

      Fold the beanbag baggies into small square shapes. Wrap each beanbag square tightly with two layers of colorful duct tape.

    • 9

      Lean the Baggo board against a table or tree. Throw the beanbags at your new Baggo board to make sure that they go through the holes. Enlarge the holes with a metal file when necessary.
