In Need of Family Bonding Time? Try Cornhole!

Getting your kids, especially those teens, interested in family activities is sometimes challenging. However, it’s possible cornhole might be the answer to all your family bonding dilemmas!

What’s the Draw?

It’s pretty obvious why people play cornhole at tailgating parties. It even makes sense to hold a charity cornhole tournament. But why should the family play?

It’s fun.

Cornhole is a classic staple of family backyards and school playgrounds, and with good reason–it is a game which offers simple, competitive fun. Despite its simplicity, the game quickly becomes addictive, and can occupy kids and adults for an entire afternoon. In fact, the simplicity of the game is part of what makes it such irresistible fun.

It provides frustration-free education.

Cornhole requires concentration and good aim in order to get the cornhole bag on the board. It requires even more skill to get the bag through the hole in the board. However, the skill level isn’t so intense that younger members of the family are excluded. Tossing is a simple motion that is perfected with practice while playing cornhole.

In addition to being a simple family activity, cornhole can also serve as an opportunity for the whole family to develop basic athletic skills. Playing cornhole regularly will help develop skills like hand-eye coordination and aim. A friendly round of the game also teaches the virtues of teamwork and healthy competition.

It’s low maintenance.

Have you ever set out to engage in some family bonding, only to lose everyone’s interest before the main event even begins? It is so challenging to keep everyone’s attention while getting the fun set up. Fortunately, cornhole is low maintenance.

The game equipment takes up very little space. The boards and bags will fit easily into any closet or garage. To play, all you need to do is plop the boards on the grass and pass out the bags.

It sends everyone outside.

Perhaps the biggest bonus is the fact that cornhole will get the whole family outside. This means no sitting on the couch, no TV, and no mindless texting or Facebooking. While cornhole is not the most rigorous sport on the market, it is a great way to get everyone in the fresh air and exercising. From your youngest family member to your oldest, cornhole is suitable for any age.

Where Can We Play?

Don’t have a backyard? No problem! Cornhole can be played just about anywhere. Set up a game on the sidewalk or parking lot. You can even plan indoor games.

Don’t forget to take your boards with you on any family outing. Whether you are having a picnic in the park, a trip to the beach, or you are tailgating at your favorite sporting event, the game can be adapted to virtually any setting.

Don’t forget, family bonding can include other people too. Use your cornhole boards to get to know your neighbors and make new friends. A little friendly competition and the convivial atmosphere that surrounds cornhole is a surefire way to break the ice with those neighbors you have been meaning to go over and meet. And if your neighborhood is hosting a block party or cookout, you already know that you can bring cornhole to contribute!

What About The Price?

Cornhole is an affordable investment that can be used by the whole family, young or old. Once you buy or make two boards and eight bags, you are set to play cornhole for many years to come. Few games offer such benefit with so little investment.
