Toss Across Game

Product Information

Start with two bean bags and see how many times you can juggle them without dropping them. Then try and walk around while juggling. Add in a third beanbag and give it a bash. 11. Tic Tac Toe When the princess sat down for a chat with a group of schoolgirls from St Katherine’s School in Bristol supported by the charity, she opened up the floor to questions about herself. Asked if she wanted to be a “royal” by a pupil, the princess replied it was something she had not expected but she “fell in love” with William. Speaking for herself, Dame Kelly said: “A struggle to kind of know that you can be accepted and fit in, and still learning every day.” Equipment Required: Bean bags (five per team), chalk (for drawing the grid) and cones (one per team) Set out some hula hoops or mark out targets on the ground, and have your child toss the bean bags into the hoops. For beginners, place the hula hoop close to where the child is standing.

In this variation of netball, use a bean bag instead of a ball. Throw the bean bag to each other (or to your own team members if there are a few players) and score by throwing the bean bag into the hoop. This is a fun gross-motor game that can also be adapted to get children crossing the midline and learning their left and right sides. Teach them to receive the beanbag from the child on their left with their right hand, pass it to their left hand and pass it to the child on their right. If they use the wrong hand they are out. Step Two: Divide your class into two groups. Ask them to make two lines about 20 metres from the grid. Tip: Use cones to mark the front of the lines. Place the pile of bean bags in front of the first person in each group. Make sure each group has different coloured bean bags.

Play this game alone with your child or divide up the family or friends into two teams. 10. Juggling The Princess of Wales has admitted becoming a member of the royal family was something she never expected – but then she met and “fell in love” with William. Kate made the admission when she joined a Dame Kelly Holmes Trust event in Bath and took on the double Olympic champion at a game of bean-bag noughts and crosses – but came out second best. Have a fun race by balancing bean bags on your head (or other part of your body) and racing to a finish line. The objective of Noughts And Crosses Race is to get either three noughts or three crosses in a row either vertically, horizontally or diagonally!

An alternative is that players have to get into the water and go to the grid to place their counter. This week, while I am doing the finishing touches on the kids’ exercise room, we had some fun with these 7 indoor bean bag games. Level-up by having hoops at different distances and having to throw the bean bag into each hoop to finish. You can even make it a race if there is more than one player. Add extra fun by assigning points to each hoop, based on their position and level of difficulty. 6. Bowling Explain that everyone will be playing a giant version of noughts and crosses. The aim of the game is to be the first team to get three cones into an uninterrupted row on the grid.Step One: If you are outside, draw the noughts and crosses grid on the ground. If you are inside, you can use masking tape that peels away easily from lino, tiles or carpet. Encourage and watch how much your child can balance on his head or other body parts at the same time. This turned out to be a genius idea, as it gives the bean bags just enough weight to carry out all of the games, but not enough weight to hurt someone or damage furniture if thrown in a moment of excitement. If they guess correctly, they get to choose the next ‘dog’. If they guess incorrectly, they remain the ‘dog’ for a second turn. 4. Hopscotch Set up a simple endurance challenge by giving tasks to carry out with the bean bags. Once a task is completed, the next task must be done until all tasks are complete.
