Bean Bags are a favourite resource in celebrateplay HQ- they are so versatile in what they offer within the realm of play. Did you know they encourage learning such as:
•cognitive function
•balance and coordination
•teamwork
•gross and fine motor skills
Ahh-mazing right?
…so I thought it would be fun to share with you our top 10 bean bag play ideas that you need to try::
1. BEAN BAG TOSS-tossing the bean bag up and down focusing on catching skills.
2. BEAN BAG BALANCE-putting the bean bag on a head and moving focusing on balance.
3. BEAN BAG PASS-pass the bean bag to music focusing on rhythm.
4. HIDE THE BEAN BAG-hide the bean bag in different locations and search for it.
5. BEAN BAG TIC TAC TOE-create a traditional tic tac toe frame using tape. Using two different coloured bean bags aim to get three in a row.
6. BEAN BAG RELAYS-run on a set path and pass the bean bag to the next person for them to repeat.
7. BEAN BAG TARGET-throw the bean bag at a specific spot.
8. BEAN BAG PLATE TOSS-toss the bean bag so it lands on the paper plate
9. BEAN BAG TOSS WITH FRIENDS-toss the bean bag amongst friends.
10. BEAN BAG HOPSCOTCH-create a traditional hopscotch grid and toss the bean bag on a numbered square. Complete the hopping and jumping sequence as normal but aim to pick up the bean bag along the way.
