Cornhole is a fun outdoor game that can be played with friends and family. It can also be a great way to get exercise and fresh air!
You may have seen cornhole boards set up in tailgating parking lots before big football games, or at beach parties and backyard barbecues. It’s easy to learn how to play, and can become a family tradition.
The rules of Cornhole are simple: players take turns throwing bags at the boards and earn points based on where they land on the boards or in the hole. Bags that remain on the boards are worth 1 point, and bags in the hole are worth 3 points. The first player to reach 21 points wins the game.
It’s important to practice to improve your Cornhole skills. Try playing every day and focusing on throwing your bag into the center of the board for better chances of scoring. Also, focus on keeping your throws underhand to avoid fouling. Overhand throws or side throws like those used in Frisbee are considered fouls and can be detrimental to your game.
You can make your own Cornhole boards for a low cost, or purchase them from online or big box retailers. If you choose to build your own, you’ll need 2x4s for each board and plywood for the frame. It’s a relatively easy project, and many of these types of boards are available pre-drilled for quicker construction.
