The Princess of Wales has admitted becoming a member of the royal family was something she never expected – but then she met and “fell in love” with William. Kate made the admission when she joined a Dame Kelly Holmes Trust event in Bath and took on the double Olympic champion at a game of bean-bag noughts and crosses – but came out second best. Mark a place to stand and toss the beanbag into the hole If it lands on the board you score 1 point; if it lands in the hole score 2 points. Take turns, and the first person to reach 20 points wins. Adjust the score and rules depending on player abilities. Turn the music on and dance with your child while tossing the beanbag to and fro. When the music stops, you both have to freeze in position.

Turn the music on and dance with your kids while tossing the beanbag to and fro. When the music stops, you all have to freeze in position.The children sit in a circle and the ‘hot potato’ (bean bag) is passed from child to child. It must not be held onto for too long, or it will ‘burn’ hands. The aim is not to drop the potato when it passes to you.

The Princess of Wales finished second best after taking on double Olympic champion Dame Kelly Holmes – at a game of bean-bag noughts and crosses. Something to marking out on the floor (or an outdoor surface) a large 3×3 open grid (using two vertical and two horizontal lines). Size of the grid squares need to be large enough to comfortably allow the objects you are using for the counters (noughts and crosses) to fit within them. You can also play ‘hot and cold’ by saying whether a child is getting closer (‘hotter’) or further away (‘colder’) from a hidden bean bag. 13. Endurance Race

Have a fun race by balancing bean bags on your head (or other part of your body) and racing to a finish line. Try pairing an adult with a child as this could be physically challenging. Also, make the net low so it is not difficult to toss the beanbag over. Adjust the height to increase difficulty. 12. Bean Bag Hide and Seek

Try pairing an adult with a child as this could be physically challenging. Also, make the net low so it is not difficult to toss the beanbag over. Adjust the height for older children. 7. Bowling Place the hula hoop close by for a young child and try some variations for older children – such as laying out various hoops at different distances, standing the hoops up and throwing through the vertical hoops, etc.Play this game alone with your child or divide up the family or friends into two teams. 10. Juggling Try adding more bean bags as each skill is mastered, and see how many can be balanced on top of each other and/or on the different body parts at the same time 9. Bean Bag Race
