e entire
group of players, the bags being recovered for each thrower in turn. A
bag thrown into the larger hole counts five; into the smaller hole
ten. The player wins who first scores one hundred.

Where there are a large number of players, it is desirable to have
more than one board, so that the players may be divided into several
groups and make the game more rapid.

BEAN BAG BOX

_2 to 20 or more players._

_Playground; gymnasium; schoolroom._

A small box measuring not less than six inches square should be
fastened inside of one about twice the size and that in a third,
leaving at least six inches margin between the boxes. This is set up
on a slight incline with a stone or other object under its further
end, or tipped up against the wall. From ten to twenty feet away from
this a throwing line is drawn. Each player is provided with five bean
bags and takes his place in turn on the throwing line, throwing all
five bags at each turn. A bag thrown into the smallest box scores five
points, one into the middle box ten points, and into the outside box
fifteen points. The player who first scores one hundred wins.

This is a very popular game, and the paraphernalia for it may be
easily improvised.

BEAN BAG CIRCLE TOSS

_10 to 30 or more players._

_Gymnasium; playground; schoolroom._

_Bean bags; balls._

There should be a bean bag for each of the players except one. All of
the players form a circle, separated from each other by a small space.
At a signal from a leader, each player turns toward his right-hand
neighbor and tosses his bean bag to him, turning at once to receive
the bag which is coming to him from the left. The game should move
rapidly, but of course this is a matter of skill and may have to be
acquired. With very little children it may be advisable to first play
the game with a fewer number of bean bags, till they grow accustomed
to tossing and turning quickly to catch. Balls may be used instead of
bean bags if desired.

When the tossing has gone once or twice around the circle to the
right, the direction should be changed to the left. It is well to have
one of the bean bags of a different color from the others, so as to
know when the circle has been completed. Any player failing to catch a
bag must pick it up and toss it regularly to his neighbor.

BEAN BAG RING THROW

_10 to 60 or more players._
