Beanbag games are ideal for fostering imaginative play in children and are good for getting them away from computers and TV screens. They can be played outdoors in sunny weather as well as indoors when it is rainy. They are also easy to store and carry around which makes them ideal for picnics and camping trips.
It is ideal for motor skills and muscle development as well as eye/hand coordination. Kids will be enthusiastically absorbed in imaginative play for hours. It is a lawn game that encourages good healthy exercise and outdoor time.
Some say the game has its origins in Germany where it was first played in the 1500's. It has a few parallels to horseshoes as both games involve tossing an object towards a target. It is also similar to other sports, such as golf or croquet, in that it requires coordination and skill. Attempting to get a beanbag into a target some distance away with an underhanded throw is no easy feat.
Sets can be bought online or in shopping malls. A set usually consists of two game boards, eight bean bags and a carry case. The boards are made of composite wood and are made to standard size which is 24 inches by 36 inches. The folding legs can easily be collapsed and folded, which makes the set compact and portable.
The World Bean Bag Association organizes tournaments for this sport and has come up with official rules to play by. In brief, there are two teams, consisting of a maximum four players. Each team gets 4 bean bags and tries to toss these in the center hole of their board. When a bag lands in the hole, the team scores 3 points; they get 1 point if it only lands on the board. Teams alternate taking turns; the game ends when one team reaches 21 points.
It is possible to buy beanbags separately. These come in sets of eight or four and are available in a number of styles. The washable one is especially practical and has a waterproof covering. There are endless varieties of bright patterns and colors available in durable fabric. It is also easy to order a custom design by sending a copy by email.
There are many variations that can be played which encourage coordination and balance. Children can practice throwing a bag in the air and turn around quickly to catch it. By setting up a series of hoops, containers and targets kids can practice their throws. The bags are also fun in ice-breaker activities and encourage teamwork. It is so popular worldwide that the Japanese also have a version, called otedama.
Since there are official standards for producing the bags, manufacturers do their best to follow these. One of the best guarantees against spillage is the fact that they are double-stitched and double-bagged. Strong furniture thread is used for the stitching. They are filled with dried corn which is one of the best anti-mold substances available.
Beanbag games encourage creative play in children and offer lots of fun and creative play that keeps kids occupied for hours. The bags can be either handmade or bought commercially. These games are so popular worldwide that there is even a national association with standardized rules and tournament competitions.
