Flash Light Tag - It's just like tag, but you play it at night, with flashlights. Make sure you have an open area to play, so you don't get hurt. Remember, watch where you run, so you don't fall down!
Sling Shot Challenge - Set up a shooting gallery made of old cans, or wood, and shoot them with small rocks. See who is the best shot.
Bug Collecting - If you like bugs, then you will have a lot of fun collecting them. Get a small net to catch the bugs, and put them in a container or in containers with small holes for air to get in. See how many different bugs you can find, but be careful so you don't hurt the bugs or get bitten. When you are finished, be sure to let your bugs go.
Wildlife Scavenger Hunt - Before you leave for your camping trip, find out what kind of wildlife lives in the area in which you will be camping. Make a list of all of the different animals that you might find, or trees you might see, and be sure to pack it with your camping stuff. Keep an eye out while you are camping, and circle everything you see that is on your list. You will be surprised at how much you will see! You can add to the bottom of your list as you come across other animals or trees that are not on your list.
Campfire Story Telling - This is something the whole family can do. The stories will depend on you. Do you like scary stories, or fun stories? Maybe you would like to tell true stories about things that happened to you, or even stories about your last camping trip. You could tell different types of stories each night - one night could be scary stories, the next night could be joke night.
Catch - This is an old favorite. Pack some baseball gloves and baseballs, and have fun!
Cards - There are so many different card games to play, and just about as many different decks of playing cards. Of course there is the standard 52 playing card deck that you use to play Rummy, Solitaire, or Hearts. There are also the different card games such as Uno, Old Maid, and Crazy Eights. You can pass the time away on a rainy day or at night in your tent.
Washers - This game is like horseshoes, but is played with washers. There are fancy washer sets that you can buy, or you can make your own set. You can easily set up your own washers game with two cans, some rope, and eight washers. Set the cans up with some throwing distance between them. Make two scoring rings around the cans out of the rope. You will score 5 points for throwing a washer in the can, 2 points for the ring outside of the can, and 1 point for the outer ring.
Battleship - This is a great way to spend some lazy time after a hard day of enjoying the great outdoors. Two people can play, but you can set up competitions if there are more than two players. Be sure to pack your Battleship game!
Whiffle Ball - This is fun, but you will need at least four people to play. If you are camping at a campground, you will probably be able to find other kids that would like to play a good, friendly game of whiffle ball. Have fun!
Skipping Stones - You will need to be camping near a stream, lake, or river. Find a flat rock a little bit larger than a quarter. Throw the rock sideways across the water, and try to make it skip accross the water. It takes lots of practice, but it is really cool once you get the hang of it.
