This makes it a real challenge for me when they visit or I have to baby sit for long periods. Back and fourth they roam, from room to room, looking like confused aimless Zombies.
So.. I send them outside and they'll play for maybe an half hour or less, than there' back inside talking me to death until I want to scream! or...they'll get into a fight, because there's nothing better to do.
On one of their visits I took them to the park where I walked up on some sort of children's day event. There were clowns, balloons, and games, and one game in particular caught their attention.
I had seen this game before at places I could not recall at the moment, but had no idea what it was called or how it is played... but soon found out.
A line of young boys and girls waited patiently for their turn to toss bags of corn into a raised platform with a hole in the top. If you get a bag in the hole you score 3 points, if it lands on the board or platform, you score 1 point. This continues until someone scores 21 points. thus the name"Corn hole or Corn toss."
To my surprise my high tech nephews loved this simple game.. Eureka! This is something I was certainly interested in purchasing to entertain them and other guest who would visit my home. I searched the net and found a website called ( Woodgamz.com ) They sale the game sets. Yahoo! and hip- hip Hurray!
Prices range from 24.99 for a table top ( small platforms you can use indoors) or 99.00 to 179.00 for Tournament size games. Yes" Sometimes the simple, uncomplicated things in life can be the most fun!!
