bag
must touch the floor. The stack must be able to stand without
assistance, and the player who stacks the bags must have no help in
his task. Should the bags fall over at any time, the player who
stacked them must pick them up and pile them over again. The line
scores one which first succeeds in getting all of its bags stacked.
The last player, the one who stacked the bags, then carries them up to
the front of the line and becomes the first passer for the next round
of the game.

The line wins which first scores five or ten, as may be decided
beforehand. The play should be very rapid.

BEAN BAG AND BASKET RELAY

_10 to 60 players._

_Schoolroom._

Each player is provided with a bean bag. A waste-paper basket or a box
is placed on the floor near the blackboard in front of each aisle. In
line horizontally with the forward edge of each front desk, a chalk
line is drawn on the floor at the end of each aisle, which serves as a
throwing line, from which players throw their bean bags into the
baskets.

The game is a competition of skill rather than of speed. At a signal
from the teacher, the first pupil in each row stands, places his toe
even with the throwing line, and tosses his bean bag toward the
basket. If the bag goes into the basket, it scores five. Should it
lodge on the edge of the basket, it scores three. Should it fall
outside, there is no score.

As soon as these first players have thrown they return to their seats
and the second row across the room steps forward and throws. This is
continued until each player has thrown, and the line wins which has
the highest score. There should be one score keeper for the entire
game, who should draw a diagram on the board in which to write the
score.

BEAN BAG BOARD

(Faba Gaba)

_2 to 30 or more players._

_Playground; gymnasium; schoolroom._

This game consists in throwing bean bags through holes in an inclined
board. The board should be preferably eighteen inches wide by three
feet long. Near the lower end of it should be cut a square hole about
the size of the bean bags. Higher up in the board a second hole about
three inches larger should be cut. The board should be slanted by
resting it against a wall or fence, or bracing one end of it in some
other way, so that it is at an angle of about forty-five degrees.

The players stand at a throwing line from ten to fifteen feet from the
board. Each player has five bags--or five may be used for th
