Rainy Day or Indoor Games It happens. Sports Oriented Games These games are competitive or skill based for the sporty minded campers, youth, or staff. Tag Games Tag games are a great tool for camp staff since you can play them quickly, without props or preparation. Campers will be most likely to play a game if you are actively participating. Enjoy yourself and be part of the group, but be cautious not to play at skill levels above your campers that make the game unfair or dangerous.
Facilitate equal playing action for all participants. Be very mindful of how many times a camper has ie received the frisbee, or been chosen as captain. Quite often, less active campers are left on the sidelines while more athletic or outgoing children dominate the game. If you are playing any activity, find a way to keep activities moving and changing to give everyone equal quality playing time.
This same principle applies to sports-minded children who may be uncomfortable playing dramatic games. Keeping score is not always important! Any game can be adapted to make it more interesting. Here are several adaptations of kickball as an example: Run the bases backwards, run them in reverse order, give all infielders water balloons to use to throw players out instead of the ball, hit the ball with a bat, use a beach ball, or have entire sides kick before rotating instead of having traditional outs.
Learn games at all physical activity levels. Every group is different, and every day is different as well. Good counselors have a bag a tricks for the various personalities or weather conditions that they come across. Always, Always, Always encourage teamwork, fair play, and sportsmanship!
With enough activities planned you might even be surprised when your pre-teen sheds those earbuds to join in the fun. First, get to know the area and where your site will be.
The more room the kids have, the better it will be to keep them on the move, but even if the area is small, there is plenty they can do. Plan some arts and crafts for a quiet afternoon and be sure to stuff a tote with books and puzzles for the youngest family members. Nighttime can be fun around the fire and even some night games might be considered to keep them from getting antsy. To help you in preparing for your trip, we have compiled a list of 15 fun summer camp activities and games you can play with the family.
Everyone of any age can have fun with a scavenger hunt. Make a list of things that can be found around the campsite, things like sticks and leaves are a perfect start. Give everyone a list and a bag to gather everything to bring back to a designated place, maybe a picnic table or a tent. Team up an older child with a younger one, or for a family filled with young ones, everyone can search together in a team effort. In the end, you can reward the winner or winners with a fun snack.
This fun game can be played like an ordinary game, but instead of describing the usual celebrities, incorporate things and animals found on a camping trip. Maybe you will want to act out movies that relate to families and camping or act out animals and insects that can be found in the woods.
This is another game that will only require slips of paper and some tape. You can play this for some downtime after a long day at the pool.
Plan this game ahead of time by putting nouns down on slips of paper; the nouns can be people or things, it will be harder if you add places to the mix.
Each person should draw a slip of paper and tape it to the forehead of the person on their left without showing them what the word is. Using a timer and starting with the youngest player, each person can ask as many questions as they can before the timer runs out. If they can guess what or who they are before the time runs out, they keep that piece of paper and get a new one to start with on the next turn.
You can set a number of rounds to play before the game starts and the person at the end of the rounds with the most pieces of paper wins the game. A great game for the evening before hopping into the sleeping bag, this classic game is sure to be a hit with everyone in the family. Of course, you can change the variations of this game and create challenges of your own. This is another classic game that has been played at parties for years and can also be used for winding down before bedtime.
The game starts with one player whispering in the ear of the person next to them. The next person then whispers what they heard to the next person and so on until you get to the end of the line.
The last person left must stand up and recite what they heard. This is a combination of Words with Friends and Scrabble, but with a twist, because the kids will enjoy connecting words using their Connect 4 game.
