Start with two bean bags and see how many times you can juggle them without dropping them. Then try and walk around while juggling. Add in a third, and forth bag, and even more. Dame Kelly founded her national youth development organisation on the belief every young person needs a champion. Try adding more bean bags as each skill is mastered, and see how many can be balanced on top of each other and/or on the different body parts at the same time 9. Bean Bag Race Children can race with friends with bean bags balancing of different parts of their bodies. If it is just you and your child, you can race against each other or you can ti The children sit in a circle and the ‘hot potato’ (bean bag) is passed from child to child. It must not be held onto for too long, or it will ‘burn’ hands. The aim is not to drop the potato when it passes to you.

Set up a simple endurance challenge by giving tasks to carry out with the bean bags. Once a task is completed, the next task must be done until all tasks are complete. To play, spin the spinner, and toss the bean bag onto the colour that the spinner landed on. This is a fun and interactive way to learn colours. 20. Juggling Step One: If you are outside, draw the noughts and crosses grid on the ground. If you are inside, you can use masking tape that peels away easily from lino, tiles or carpet. This is a great game for improving gross motor skills, and can also be mixed with an art activity (by decorating the tins).In this variation of netball, use a bean bag instead of a ball. Throw the bean bag to each other (or to your own team members if there are a few players) and score by throwing the bean bag into the hoop. Mark a place to stand and toss the beanbag into the hole If it lands on the board you score 1 point; if it lands in the hole score 2 points. Take turns, and the first person to reach 20 points wins. Adjust the score and rules depending on player abilities.

Any water-based version (of any game) needs your planning to take the situation and safety (eg can everybody swim or be safe in the water. How slippy is the poolside when wet? etc) much more into consideration. Then, mark out an area on the ground as a “pond” and place the fish inside the pond, scattered randomly. Play the fishing toss game with your child. The Princess of Wales finished second best after taking on double Olympic champion Dame Kelly Holmes – at a game of bean-bag noughts and crosses. Try pairing an adult with a child as this could be physically challenging. Also, make the net low so it is not difficult to toss the beanbag over. Adjust the height for older children.

It ended up being a great trade and something I’ll likely consider again during our continuing purge. Make this more challenging by changing the rules – hop on one leg to the end, balance two bean bags on your head, race with a bean bag on your ruler, etc. Try pairing an adult with a child as this could be physically challenging. Also, make the net low so it is not difficult to toss the beanbag over. Adjust the height to increase difficulty. 12.

They can earn a point for each beanbag they find.The ‘dog’ keeps their eyes closed as the other children pass around a bone (bean bag), while chanting: The Princess of Wales has admitted becoming a member of the royal family was something she never expected – but then she met and “fell in love” with William. Kate made the admission when she joined a Dame Kelly Holmes Trust event in Bath and took on the double Olympic champion at a game of bean-bag noughts and crosses – but came out second best. Play hide and seek with the bean bags by hiding them around the house or garden and then sending the children to find them.
