This is a simple bean bag passing pattern for patriotic music in 4/4. I made bean bags with patriotic fabrics for this activity.

Everyone starts with a bean bag in their left hand.
Beat one: R.H. goes up to forehead in salute position.
Beat two: R.H. moves out from forehead in a salute.
Beat three: R.H. picks up bean bag from L.H.
Beat four: R.H. passes bean bag to their neighbor's (on the right) L.H.

  (attention, salute, pick, pass)

-OR-
