Cornhole Basic Rules For Kids

Cornhole Rules

A cornhole game can be played with two or four players.

A game is played with two cornhole boards and eight total bags.

A cornhole board is a slanted wooden rectangle with a circular hole towards the top.

A cornhole bag is a small bean bag in the shape of a square.

The boards should be around 27 feet apart from each other.

Team A will have four bags that are one color, and Team B will have bags that are a different color.

If a game is between two players, then both players will line up on the same side and toss their bags towards the opposite board.

Once all eight bags are tossed, the two players will walk to the other board and toss again at the other board.

If a game is between two teams, then team members will face each other from opposite boards.

Two players on opposing teams will take turns tossing four bags each underhand at the other board.

A team gets one point for a bag landing on the board and three points for a bag landing in the hole.

The score is tallied once all eight bags have been tossed.

Scoring is calculated by subtracting the lower scoring team’s total from the higher scoring team’s total.

For example, if Team A has three bags on the board and Team B has two bags, then Team A gets one point for that round.

Once all eight bags are tossed, it is time for the other two players on the opposite side to toss the bags.

This rotation will continue until a team reaches 21 points.

The first team to 21 points wins.
