Bean Bag Toss on a Tic-Tac-Toe Board: Game Name & Variations

The game is commonly called Bean Bag Tic-Tac-Toe, Tic-Tac-Toe Toss, or simply Bean Bag Toss (though that name also covers Cornhole).

How It's Played

• Board: 3×3 grid (fabric, wood, cardboard) with squares large enough for a bean bag.
• Teams: 1v1 or 2v2. Each team gets 3–5 bags of one color.
• Turn: Toss bag onto empty square. Land cleanly = claim square.
• Win: First to 3 in a row (horizontal, vertical, diagonal).
• Miss / Bounce Out: Square stays open; turn ends.

Variations

• Giant Outdoor: Shower curtain grid + large bean bags.
• Math Version: Squares have numbers; add/multiply for score.
• Relay: Teams line up; run, toss, tag next.
• Drinking Game (Adults): Miss = sip; complete line = assign drinks.

Easy DIY: tape grid on floor, use socks filled with rice as bags.
