No Matter Where You Are, You Can Always Play Cornhole

Any time you get a group together to play a game, whether it be kids or adults, there is competition. Competition is natural and most people seriously enjoy it.

Games are a great way to encourage competition among people. Who remembers Field Day at their elementary school, or for that matter did anyone participate in a Battle of the Classes in high school? All of these events encourage competition in not only individuals but teams as well.

Major sports encourage competition. Who hasn’t worn the colors of their favorite team on game day?

Games come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Some are mental, such as chess, while others are much more physical such as football. Games can be single-player, such as Go, or team events such as basketball. Games can be played in all sorts of conditions, in all sorts of weather, on water or on land, and involve a variety of equipment or none at all.

Cornhole is one of those games that satisfy that itch to win. With its easy setup and simple rules, anyone can play. And because Cornhole levels the playing field even a beginner can feel they have a chance at winning.

When Cornhole boards are brought to a barbecue or a tailgate party, people line up to play. It’s common to break up players into teams. If enough people are present, and there’s enough time, a round-robin or mini-tournament can be played. The fun begins when the court is set up and the group is divided. People can even use custom color Cornhole boards and bags or even cornhole wraps. You can almost feel the friendly competition in the air.

But Cornhole isn’t just for teams. It can be played with a single individual as well as a partner.

Tossing the bag after a frustrating day helps relieve tension. It helps develop better hand-eye coordination. Practice makes perfect, and a good Cornhole player knows the value of practice. And just face it. It’s a fun challenge to get that little bag through the hole.

Cornhole is even fun with just two players. Who does the dishes for the week? Challenge your significant other. Which child takes the dog on a walk? Make them play with each other. Even if you have a mix of older and more sport-inclined family members, Cornhole balances the playing field.

It’s also a great way to just spend some quality time with the family – no competition necessary.
