Here are some fun games to play while camping or anytime you have a group of friends together.
Have a group of friends sit in a circle. The more friends, the better for this game! Have everyone start passing a small ball around as fast as they can without throwing it. It must be handed from player to player. Then add a larger ball and have that passed from player to player in the same direction. The player that winds up with the large and small ball at the same time is OUT!
On little pieces of paper, write things like TREE, MOUNTAIN, ROCK, and
Blindfold a player and take them to a nearby tree. Let them touch the tree and feel the leaves or pine needles for as long as they wish. Then bring them back to the starting point and remove the blindfold. Can they nd their tree again?
Have a group of friends stand in a close circle. Have each person place one hand in the center. Then have everyone grab someone else’s hand at random. Everyone should work together to slowly untangle and try to create one big circle.
other things that could be found on a camping trip. Tape one of these on each person’s back without letting them see the word. Then they can ask others YES or NO questions to try and gure out what they are.
