Camping is a great family vacation and an excellent way to spend time together, but it can be hard for kids to keep entertained. There are many awesome camping games that the entire family will want to play! In this blog post, we will talk about 5 of them so you know what to pack in your bag next time you head out on a camping trip with your loved ones.
Nature-inspired Scavenger Hunt
A nature-inspired scavenger hunt is a fun camping game for both the kids and adults! It will keep everyone busy looking around camp to find all of the objects on your list while getting some fresh air. The items you choose should be reflective of what there is in nature around them, so this might take some thought before starting out on your trip.
Campfire Storytelling
There are many great camping games that you can play before turning in for bedtime, and campfire storytelling is one of them. This game will help kids wind down after a day spent outdoors while creating some family memories at the same time! You just need to take turns telling stories by starting with “Once upon a time…” and then letting the next person continue.
Charades
Charades is a classic camping game that everyone will love playing! This simple guessing game can be played anywhere and everywhere, but it’s especially great around the campfire when you have time to kill. You just need someone to draw out charade ideas and then each person takes turns acting them out for everyone else to guess.
Capture the Flag
Capture the Flag is a game that many people have played since their childhood, and it’s no surprise why! This camping game requires some strategy but it will get everyone up and moving around camp. One person or team gets to be ‘it’ while trying to capture all of the opposing players back at home base without being tagged on the way there. The more creative you are with setting up your bases, the better chance you’ll have at winning!
The game of darts
Darts is a classic camping game that everyone knows how to play! This fun outdoor activity requires some strategy, but it can be played by the whole family. You need a dartboard and a set of darts to play the game. Getting expensive Bristle dart boards and electronic dartboards that can be used outdoors is not a good idea. Instead, you should get a plastic dartboard that is inexpensive and will resist dust and rain. If you’re playing with kids then you will want to make sure there are several sets of darts so they don’t get frustrated waiting for their turn after one dart has been thrown.
Never Have I Ever
Never Have I Ever is a camping game that adults will love playing as much as kids do. It’s similar to the classic drinking game ‘I Never’ but it doesn’t require any alcohol and can be played just about anywhere! The idea of this game is to remember things you have never done, so each person takes turns saying something they’ve never done before while everyone else guesses if they’re lying or telling the truth.
Card games
Card games are camping games that everyone loves because they can be played anywhere! There are many different types of card games, so it really just depends on who you’re playing with and how long you have to play. Some classic options include Go Fish, Solitaire, Poker, and Blackjack.
