If you want to add a Sandbag component to your game, here’s how:

Ideas for different bean bag toss games
There are a few different ideas for baseball bean bag toss games. One is to have a pitcher stand a certain distance away from a catcher, who is behind home plate The object of the game is to score points by pitching the bean bags into the catcher’s mitt. The catcher can either catch the bean bag or let it bounce off the ground and then try to throw it back to the pitcher. Another variation of this game is to have two teams of two players each. One player from each team pitches while the other player tries to catch. The team that catches the most bean bags in their mitts wins.
Another baseball bean bag toss game is similar to horseshoes. Stakes are placed in the ground a certain distance apart, and players take turns tossing their bean bags at the stakes. The player who gets closest to the stake scores a point for their team. The first team to reach a certain number of points wins the game.
yet another variation, players stand in a circle and take turns throwing their bean bags at a target in the middle of the circle. The player who hits the target gets a point for their team. The first team to reach a certain number of points wins the game
