Create two teams with five to six 5 to 6 players each, depending on space.
Set buckets/trash cans several feet apart (distance depends on # of players, age groups, etc)
Tape a box around the can of at least two feet in each direction, perhaps more depending on age. You could also use a large loop of rope. The point is not to allow players to simply drop the bean bag into the can/bucket. They have to toss it.
The game is like basketball.
Bean Bag starts of with one team based on a coin flip.
Players with the Bean Bag cannot move/walk/run with the bag. They can either pass the bag to another player on their team or shoot for the bucket/can.
If the bean bag falls on the floor, it goes to the opposing team. For example, if a player passes the bag to another player, and it is dropped. A player on the other team picks it up. This is also true for missed shots.
Defenders can block or intercept the bag. However, defenders can not touch the person with the bag, or the bag while in possession. There is no stealing.
This game is best played in two ten minute halves. For larger groups, consider substituting players at halftime.
