Bean bags are a great addition to playrooms and backyard BBQs. With a little imagination, bean bags could be the highlight of any gathering, no matter the age of the participants.

When I was a kid, my friends and I went to “Park and Rec” every Tuesday and Thursday night of the summer. Usually, anywhere between 10 and 20 kids came together to play games like dodge ball and capture the flag. During this time we were also encouraged to “invent” new games.

One of my favorite games to play to this day is bean bags (otherwise known as Bag-O, Cornhole and bags). It’s fun because you usually play in teams of two, and it only requires tossing. It’s an ideal game for any backyard office or non-office party. For official rules, click here. (If you’re ordering bean bags specifically for this game from Next Day, make sure to order 6. That way, you’ll get 6 bags of each color.)

Kids can also enjoy this game. And the best part is, it can be tailored to the group playing it. For example, younger children may want to play with bigger targets that are closer together.

Make sure to add Champion Sports bean bags from Next Day at the top of your summertime activity list.
