You can play famous outdoor game, corn toss game in your yards or choose lawns for this. Although it has become most popular game of North America today its past history is still mystery. The assumption is that it might have originated in farmlands of Germany that was later rediscovered in the hills of Kentucky. Though this game had remained exclusive as a rustic game it has now become choice of elites. I have already discussed that it can be played in lawns of urban homes or in poolside, in camping sites, at tailgating parties or on beaches hence you will see it played in every nook and corner. It is played at places having gatherings.

Although corn toss game is funny but its other features are not lesser. Below mentioned benefits of corn toss game must also be recognized:

-    The way it develops bonding among family members and peers is remarkable. 
-    Developing sportsmanship in children is another feature. 
-    This game is excellent icebreaker at parties and at the same juncture great antidote for hangover the other day.

How is a corn toss game an antidote for hangover? People will be too busy chucking corn bags and there will be less intake of booze – that is how!  On a more serious note, a corn toss game, which probably started with one farmhand challenging the other over the distance they can throw a bag of corn is truly a party game now. It is also a great vehicle for making new friends. Take the game to your beach party, you will find others stopping to watch and then perhaps joining over to toss a bag or two.

Famous as cornhole game, corn toss game is called so because corn bags are tossed into holes on boards when players play them. Consisting of two set of boards these sets are manufactured from plywood and eight bags filled with feed corn before cornhole game starts. Four of the eight bags are colored in one color and the rest in other to differentiate between them that are thrown by both contestants and team members. This game can be played in singles or doubles but make sure that you have arranged all weather cornhole games when playing it on beaches, poolside or at night because there is chance of precipitations in such places.

There are two enemies of a standard cornhole game set. The first is water. The regular boards are made from plywood and as you know, plywood cannot stand water in any form. If you leave it out by any chance, the dew will get at it and in no time, the board will become swollen and unfit for a game of toss. Taking it out on the beach or by the poolside is also dangerous for the same reason. All weather cornhole boards are made from plastic and so water cannot harm them.

Obviously water is most problematic thing for corn bags, particularly ordinarily ones that are prepared from duck canvas. They are filled with real feed corn hence when they soak and you must salvage them soonest. Is it possible to do so that involves opening bag, taking out feed corn and drying them prior to keeping in bag and stitching? You will not be in favor of taking this trouble. Suppose it is left as it is incidentally mildew get them hence best choice is buy weather resistant cornhole bags and enjoy the game.

Use of waterproof cloth in preparation of weather resistant cornhole bags make them durable. Such bags are filled with plastic palettes instead of original corns hence there is no issue of them getting dried. Most importantly they can’t be affected by their second enemy. You won’t find bag intact if they are filled with original corns and kept outside mistakenly. Though rain and dew may not affect them but squirrels and rooks create problems. Once these bags are left unattended such creatures will immediately tear the bag to eat corn kept inside.

Here I share a cautionary reason. It is not suitable to buy all-weather cornhole games set in case you are willing to participate in some competition. All weather variety is not permitted there because the play of such bags completely differs there. Take appropriate decision and have regulation sets instead. Be careful and enjoy this game fully. 

Family outings and picnics will never be complete without these outdoor games. Dave Threadcraft encourages kids and adults alike to play bean bag toss games. This is a fun outdoor game activity with pitching washers that many would enjoy. Information about the game is available on his website.
