Games to Play With Beanbags

Beanbag Toss

• Gather a bunch of buckets or containers, and place them in different places on the floor. Have the kids stand behind a line and toss the beanbags in the containers. See how many baskets they can make.

Balancing Act

• Line up the kids in two lines, and have the first contestants in the lines balance beanbags on top of their heads. Instruct them to walk to a marked line and back again and then pass the beanbags off to the next contestants in the lines.

Hot Potato

• Have the kids make a circle and pretend the beanbag is a hot potato. Ask the kids to quickly pass the beanbag around the circle and see if they can do it without the beanbag touching the ground.

Beanbag Bowling

• Set up empty milk jugs or other lightweight containers as bowling pins. Use the beanbags as bowling balls to knock down the pins. Make sure the beanbags are able to slide on the surface.
