Mini / Kids Cornhole Boards (2’ x 1’) — Lightweight, Fun, and Perfect for Young Players
Mini Cornhole Boards (2’ x 1’) are the ideal way to introduce kids, families, and beginners to the game of cornhole. Smaller, lighter, and easier to handle than full-size 4’ x 2’ regulation boards, these compact sets offer a fun, engaging experience for indoor play, family game nights, backyard gatherings, and travel.
Whether you're teaching young players the fundamentals, looking for a portable game for the RV or beach, or want a casual set to complement your full-size boards, this collection features high-quality, kid-friendly cornhole boards built for durability and enjoyment.
What Are Mini Cornhole Boards?
Mini boards measure 2 feet by 1 foot (24” x 12”), making them the smallest standardized form of cornhole. Their reduced size provides:
-
Easier distance for kids
-
Lightweight portability
-
Indoor play flexibility
-
Quick setup and storage
-
Great entry-level introduction to cornhole
These boards are smaller than both Tailgate (3’ x 2’) and Regulation (4’ x 2’) boards, making them ideal for casual, family-oriented play.
If you’re looking for official tournament equipment instead, explore our Regulation Cornhole Boards (4' x 2') (internal link cue).
Why Choose Mini / Kids Boards?
Mini boards are specifically designed with accessibility, portability, and fun in mind. Here’s why they’re a fantastic option:
1. Perfect for Kids, Beginners & Family Events
Mini boards reduce the difficulty for new players by:

Lowering board height
-
Making bag landings easier
