Rediscover the pleasure of playing outdoors with your family
Camping vacations are the perfect opportunity to reconnect with your loved ones, leave the screens behind and get back to basics: playing, laughing and sharing moments together. That’s why, at Camping Cambrils Caban, we bring you a selection of 10 original games for family camping that you can enjoy with little material and lots of imagination.
Family camping games: easy ideas for all ages
Nature Safari
Prepare a list with elements of nature (pine cones, shells, leaves, feathers…) and propose a “safari” as a family. The winner is the one who finds the most objects or the most original ones. Ideal to arouse the curiosity of the little ones!
A great family time that will allow you to discover nature and connect with it to the maximum.
The backpack challenge
Each family member puts a surprise object in a backpack. For example, a leaf, a stone… Then, taking turns, the others must guess what it is just by touching it (without looking).
Guaranteed fun and lots of laughs! In addition, you can play with things from nature, so there is no need for extra material.
Hideout with lanterns
Ideal for playing after dark, this game transforms the classic hide-and-seek into a nighttime adventure. One player is the “seeker” and carries a flashlight. The others hide in a safe area of the campsite. The goal: to find the others by flashlight alone.
Guaranteed excitement and lots of adrenaline without screens!
Camper treasure hunt
Organize a small treasure hunt around the campsite with hidden clues. You can use references from the environment: “Look for where the shadow of the carob tree hides…”.
A perfect plan to enjoy all together as a family, and even to get to know every corner of the campsite.
You can adapt the difficulty of the gymkhana according to the age of your children. And you can even organize tests during this one.
Got Talent Camp
A different and fun night! Each member of the family (or group) prepares a small show: singing, jokes, magic or dances. The setting is nature!
Then, you must vote to see who wins the award for “New Artist or Group”. 🙊
Race imitating animals
Another original and fun idea is to have racing competitions imitating animals: jumping like frogs, walking like crabs or moving like worms. Let’s see who can go the longest without laughing! And let’s see who gets to the finish line first.
It sounds easy, but it sure won’t be that easy… Well, fun is guaranteed! 😉
Moonlight stories
Sitting in a circle under the stars, each person adds a sentence to a made-up story. The result is often as surreal as it is funny. Let your imagination fly!
Aiming with pine cones
Place empty bottles or buckets and throw pinecones from different distances. Put points for each hit and convert it into a tournament.
It’s like playing with a dartboard, but with a touch of creativity and practicality. With anything you can set up the stage!
Silent explorers
It is a game of observation and silence. On a short walk around the campsite, the goal is to walk in complete silence for a few minutes… and then tell everything you have seen or heard.
In this way, you can share what you have seen and heard. I’m sure you’ll discover a lot together!
Cinema under the stars
We don’t mean watch a movie… Instead of watching a movie, act one out! Choose a simple story, divide up roles, create the script as a family and act it out.
You can make groups and have each group represent one. We are sure you will have a unique and magical time together!
If you want to go further, you can even recreate a Goya or Oscar gala 🏆 and give awards or mentions to the best actors and actresses. For ideas, no matter what!
