Supplies needed

  1. Parent/Guardian’s Permission
  2. You
  3. box or trash can
  4. sandwich bags or any bag
  5. sand or rice

Set up

  • Cut a hole in the middle of a box. (Ask parents for assistance) Make sure hole is big enough for the bag to fall into. If using a trash can, no cutting is needed (already has a hole at the top).
  • Fill sandwich bags half way with dirt or rice. You just need one but if parents allow it, fill up 3 more. 
  • Place cornhole in an open area outside. (Just in case the bag opens, the mess will be outside) If you’re using a trash can, make a square around the trash can with shoes, shirts, anything you have. 
  • Take 10 steps away from the corn hole
  • Using one hand, you will toss the bag under hand up and forward aiming for the hole. Don’t throw it overhand. 

Points

  • If player makes a bag into hole, that’s 3 points.
  • If player makes it onto the box but not in the hole, that’s 1 point. 
  • If a player misses completely, that’s 0 points.
  • When using multiple bags, if a bag is on the box, you can use another bag to push the other bag in getting 3 points instead of the 1 point. 
  • Winner is determined after 3 rounds or until players are content playing.
