Beanbag games offer the perfect solution for parents who want to encourage imaginative play in their kids. They are a wonderful break from the TV and computer screen. Highly versatile, the game can be used outdoors or indoors, depending on the weather. It is also light and easy to transport, making them a sure-fire favorite for picnics and vacations.

They provide first-rate activities for enhancing motor skills and developing eye and hand coordination. Kids will be occupied for hours playing this exciting lawn game. It also encourages teamwork and working together.

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.

It is fairly easy to buy sets in department stores or by shopping online. There are 10 items in a set, including two boards with holes, 8 bean bags, along with a sturdy case. The boards measure 24 by 36 inches, which is standard size. Made of press wood, they have wooden stands that can easily collapse and fold back.

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.

Beanbags can also be bought separately in sets of eight. There are washable versions made of durable, waterproof materials. Another variation comes in printed fabric in a variety of bright colors and patterns. For a custom-made design or motif, just email a copy of the design you want and it will be produced for you.

This type of toss game encourages coordination and motor skills. Children like to practice tossing bags up and then turning quickly to catch it again. Parents can also encourage their kids to practice throws with different targets, hoops and containers. The variety of possibilities is almost endless.

There are official guidelines set up and manufacturers do their best to follow these in the manufacturing process. One of the key points is making sure that double bags are used as well as double stitching which protects against any possible spills. High grade corn is used to fill these. Corn is mold proof, natural and does not absorb moisture.

Beanbag games offer an ideal alternative for modern kids who need time away from the TV and computer screen. They can keep kids occupied for hours in creative play and healthy exercise. It is such an all-time favorite worldwide, there is even an international organization that organizes tournaments and sets the rules.
