What you need:
Chalk
ABC Bean Bags (anything you can throw)
2 Ways to Play:
1. Draw circles for your kids with different point values in them. Use bigger circles for younger children and draw them closer to the throwing line.
2. Then have your children throw bean bags into the circles to score points.
3. If they can sound out the letter on their bean bag, they get the points. You could also try sight words!
4. Keep score by writing their names in chalk and tallying the points.
5. Reward the winner. We use Popsicle Sticks!
Alternative Version:
1. Draw Letters, or whatever you want them to learn in the circles.
2. The children try to throw their bean bag on a letter.
3. If your children say the sound of the letter they hit, they get a reward.
4. For indoor play, use hula hoops and letter mats, or simply have the children throw a bean bag in a bin. If they get it in the bin they can answer a question and win!

Great ideas! I’m in charge of the bean bag toss for our school’s Halloween party for 1st through 3rd. I’m looking for ways to change the bean bag toss to make it more fun for the kids.
I love how this gets kids moving while learning. We have four little ones 5 and under and boy do they like to move 🙂
We’d love for you to link up to our Finished Friday Blog Party.
