An increasing number of families are discovering that planning a camping outing is affordable and an enjoyable way to spend time with loved ones. Planning activities to keep the members of your family busy can be a bit overwhelming, but keep in mind that board games are quite popular and will provide hours of enjoyment for every member of your family. Some family favorites are Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit and card games such as Go-Fish and UNO.
Perhaps you are interested in playing games that require more activity? Well, some great games that fall into the 'active' category are Frisbee-Golf and Hide-and-Seek. These are games that every member of the family will enjoy! For the younger members of the family, Duck-Duck Goose is a favorite that is usually played around the campfire. One person is the 'goose' and is responsible for passing that onto someone else around the circle.
Taking a family hike ranks high on the list of favorite camping activities for many people. Taking a hike into the mountains can be an educational experience as well as a wonderful opportunity to observe nature in its purest form. In fact, if you have younger children, a hike will tend to tire out the children completely so they will sleep through the night in their own sleeping bags!
Another great idea is to organize a nature scavenger hunt; compile a list of items that can be found in the environment and see who can collect all of the items in the quickest amount of time. You can even add a twist to the game, making it a trash scavenger hunt. Members of your family will be having fun while cleaning up the environment. The person with the most items on the list will win the game!
In order to make sure that the members of your family do not get bored on the camping trip, sit down and plan out some activities before you leave. In fact, you will be happy that you took the time to plan out some different things to do, especially when it comes to the younger members of the family. All you need to be successful is your imagination and some creativity and your family will have a fantastic time on the camping trip!
