How to Play Beanbag Balance

Get your kids on their bikes and have them try to balance beanbags on different parts of their bodies while riding. There are sure to be lots of giggles during this game.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Bean Bags
• Sidewalk Chalks
• Bicycle Helmets
• Children's Bicycles

1. Clear an area of sidewalk or driveway and mark off a beginning and end line with chalk.
2. Have the players line up at the start line on their bicycles. Be sure everyone wears a helmet.
3. Give each player the same number of beanbags. Start with three or four and, as you play, increase the number.
4. Tell all the players to place each beanbag on a certain body part, such as their head, shoulders, thighs, feet and arms.
5. Count to three and then say "Go!" after the beanbags are in place.
6. Declare the player who crosses the finish line first with all of the beanbags in place the winner.
7. Play again, changing where the beanbags are placed and increasing the number used.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure that players watch where they're going so there are no accidents.
• Don't have players place beanbags on their faces - they'd be unable to see where they were going.
