Children's Games Involving Bean Bags

[UltraBeat Entertainment]

As I'm always looking for new ways of keeping kids entertained during Kids party's I took a teachers advice and invested in some small children's bean bags (4 Bags for £5 in the early learning centre) and am currently trying to come up with some new games to use them in. Anybody got an idea's?

Here's what I've got so far:

- Balance On Your Head (Explains itself)
- Relay Races (Using Bags to pass to next runner)
- Throw Bag into the Hoop (Put a Hula Hoop on the floor, Get kids to stand a few metres away and aim in the hoop.)
- Catch The Bag (All players stand in circle throwing the bag to each other, If you drop it your out. You can speed up and slow down the game and add extra bags to make more difficult for older players.)

I won't use all of these idea's. At the moment just putting them out there.

Get all the children to hold a parachute and tell them that you are going to put somethings on it and if they fall off they owe you £5.
Start with 1 bean bag, rather easy, then another, and another, and another then some table tennis balls, they go flying everywhere and kids are howling with laughter then I throw some (50) rubber ducks on and the kids are screaming as these dsucks are flying everywhere!
