- 1). Get three deep dish aluminum pie pans. Take them outside and spray paint all three pans red on the top and bottom. Let them dry.
- 2). Paint the numbers 2, 5, and 7 on the inside of the three separate plates. Make the numbers large and bold on the bottom inside of the plates. The numbers represent points you win if you land a bean bag inside the plate.
- 3). Punch a hole in the center of each plate with a hammer and a 5-inch nail. When punched, put a round washer over the hole and then insert the long nail through the washer and the plate. Push the nail into the ground. This will hold the plate in place on the ground while you are playing the game. Repeat this with the other two plates. Put them in the ground with the three plates in a triangle with a foot between each one.
- 4). Get six men's dress socks. Cut the top band off of the socks where it joins the foot of the sock. The top band should be around six inches long. Sew the top together with a straight stitch on the sewing machine half an inch from the edge. Sew it a second time. Fill the bag with dry pinto beans. Now stitch the bottom of the bag with a straight stitch and sew it a second time. You now have a bean bag ready to throw at the plates. Repeat this five more times to have all the bean bags done. Each person should stand 15 feet from the plates and gets three tries to throw the bean bag into the plates. The first person to get 20 points in the plates wins.
