Playing Instructions
GAME SETUP:
1.Playing Area – Select an open area that provides approximately 18 ft. (approx. eight paces apart)
between the two foul lines (front of the Bean Bag Boards). Allow children to set the distance with
their own stride. The width of the court depends on the skill level of the players.
2.Play is between two players or teams. One member from each team will stand next to each
board.
RULES OF THE GAME:
•Object of the Game – First Player/Team to reach 21 points wins!
•Game Play - For the first round, decide Player 1 and/or Team 1 by tossing a coin, or some other
suitable method. For following rounds, the team scoring the highest points in the previous round is
the first to toss in the next round.
•Each round consists of one person (either Player 1 or Player 1/Team 1) tossing bean bags. Play
continues alternating Player/Team until each player has tossed their bags.
•Bean bags may be tossed in any way the player chooses, as long as they are tossed individually.
•Players must not step across the foul line (front edge of the Bean Bag Board) during a throw, or
that throw does not count.
•Point Values (based on difficulty level) are as follows:
A bag thrown through the hole earns 3 points. A bag that lands on the board earns 1 point. Subtract
the low score from the high score for each round of play. For example: Team A has 1 bag in the
hole and 2 bags on the board, for a score of 5 points. Team B has two bags on the board, for a
score of 2 points. Team A (5 points) – Team B (2 points) = Team A (3 points). Team A receives 3
points for that round of play.
•No Score - Bean bags bounce off the ground do not count in scoring.
•To Win – There are alternatives for declaring a winner: 1) the winning team must lead by at least
five points; or 2) requiring an exact score to win. If a round’s score would put a team over 21, that
round’s score is not used.
•Hint: You can knock your opponent’s Bean Bags off the board.
