Planning to doing a fun family activity but not sure what it should be � how about making a Cornhole game? Not everyone knows about Cornhole, but it's a great game, and it's something that everyone can play, regardless of age or activity level. The game isn't confusing or physically demanding, and the rules themselves are very easy. The player simply stands a specific distance from the Cornhole board, and he or she tosses small cloth bags, one at a time, at a hole in that board. The bean bag game or the bean bag toss are other names for this game. You might have played it in your elementary school physical education class. Probably your children did, also. And your parents might have, as well. The gently weighted bags are tossed at the hole and if they go through it they score points for the player. Bags are also worth points if they land on the board and don't go through the hole, as long as they don't fall off.

You can't score any points with bags that miss the board completely or bags that hit and then fall off. Players take turns, and the first person to twenty-one points wins the game. Tournaments are organized ...
... for cash and prizes for some dedicated players, and the Cornhole game can also be played in teams. For most people, tournaments are not part of their game plan. Playing the game and enjoying it with their family is all they want to do. Some people even play it on their own and find it a very enjoyable one-person activity, similar to those people who get out a deck of cards and play solitaire. Buying both the bags and boards � the whole Cornhole set � can be done online very easily. A lot of people choose this route because they get their set fast. It's also possible to get either a plastic or a wooden Cornhole board and to choose from several different bag colors. There are arguments as to which one of these materials is the best choice for the board. In general, personal preference is the most important thing.

For people who want to make their own Cornhole set, they'll need basic tools. Being able to sew the bags and having a few woodworking skills are also important. You don't have to have a sewing machine, either. The bags can just be sewn by hand. As for making the board, there are very easy instructions that you can get for free on the Internet.Keeping you happy with your Cornhole game means that you should get your instructions from someplace reputable. It will turn out right and the instructions won't be so confusing if you take the time to make sure you're getting good information.
