Except our bags were filled with beans. Tossed at circles like a target laid on the ground, or drawn with chalk on the sidewalk. Hence, Beanbag!

We used to play lawn darts when I lived in Menomonee Falls, WI while I was a young kid. So glad I never got hit with one of those.

At least the bags cannot do a whole lot of damage if you misthrow one.

When we moved here in 2012, heard what I knew as "bean bag toss" revered to as "corn hole" for the first time. Up to that time, the term "corn hole" was a crude euphemism for one's, um, anus. Who named it this game?
It was a verb where I came from.

Cornhole, bean bag toss or bags: What's the name of this tailgating pastime? - SBNation.com

This is very interesting.
