BEAN BAG AND OAT SACK GAMES
_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.
