Activities

-Bucket Toss: Place a variety of different sized buckets on the floor. Step back and try to get the bag into one of the buckets. You can make each one worth different points or you can have different prizes in each bucket. Give prizes based on whatever bucket the bag lands in.

-Hot Potato: Sit the children in a large circle. Explain that they are pretending the bean bag is a hot potato, too hot to hold. When the music starts they pass the bag around the circle. When the music stops, the person holding the bag is out. The winner is the last one in the group.

-Board Toss: Take a sheet of plywood and cut out holes large enough for the bean bag. You can vary the size of the holes. Help your child paint and decorate the board. Lean the board against a wall and try to get the bag through the holes.

-Long Toss: Start standing close together. When the bag is caught, everyone takes a step back. See how far apart you can get before dropping the bag.

-How Many Times Toss: Toss the bag back and forth. Count each time the bag is caught. See what number you can get to, or try saying the alphabet.
