Well, how about a great game of bean bag balance? If you are interested in learning about the game of bean bag balance, then here are some step by step tips, just for you.
One fun and easy form of this game is to play it using your noggin. First off, you will need a couple of bean bags . Simple, small, light weight, palm sized bean bags are all that are required. You can find these for a very low cost at any local toy store and many drug stores. Once you have these in hand, the game can begin!
This game is typically a race of speed. It requires at least two or more players. Make a start and a finish line. Stand on the starting mark and place the bean bag carefully on your head. The object of the game is to get to the finish line the fastest, beating your opponent without letting the bean bag slide off of your head. The catch is, you can't use your hands! You have to balance it there just right.
Another way to play the game is to balance the bean bag on your elbow. Using the same rules, try to get to the finish line first while balancing the bean bag on the side of your elbow. If the bean bag falls off, you must go back to the start line. Be creative. You can also think up many other different places to set and balance your bean bag such as your chest, back, neck, and so on.
You can also spice things up a bit and make the game more difficuly by adding bean bags! This will make the game more exciting and much more difficult. The kids will enjoy the challenge and may like this version so much that they play it this way every time.
So: take your kids to the store and find each of them one or two bean bags to call their own. They will truly enjoy playing the game of bean bag balance. And who knows? You may just enjoy this game yourself.
