Beanbag Toss

Beanbag Toss

Jason walked into the gym, feeling upset. He’d heard his dad talking on the phone last night. It sounded like Dad’s job was about to change again. “ What if I can’t come to Kids Central anymore?” Jason thought. “ For today’s activity, you’ll be in two groups, ” Miss Shelly said. “ Each group will make a box for a beanbag toss. ”

“ Ooh, ” Izzie said. “ Fun! ” “ How do you play?” Nina asked. “ You throw beanbags into a hole, ” Bobby said. “ The team with the most points wins. ” He grinned. “ I’m awesome at this game! ” “ We can design the boxes?” Jason asked. That sounded fun. He loved to draw.

Miss Shelly nodded. “ We’re going to make a Kids Central version of the game. ” “ Cool, ” Ethan said. Jason looked at the art supplies: markers, paint, fabric, glue. “ Team One is Bobby, Jason, and Nina, ” Miss Shelly said.

“ Team Two is Izzie and Ethan. Talk about your favorite parts of Kids Central. Use these ideas to decorate your box. ” Jason got a box. Nina taped it shut. Then Miss Shelly flipped it over and cut a hole in the middle. “ Now we have to decorate it, ” Bobby said. “ What’s your favorite part of Kids Central?”

“ My friends! ” Nina said. “ What about you, Bobby?” “ I like playing games, ” Bobby said. “ And cooking. ” Bobby and Nina looked at Jason. “ I might have to leave Kids Central again, ” he blurted out.
