Camping Game Ideas

 

  

 

Fishing

Make fishing poles out of dowels hang string from end at end of string put a cork
 and magnet glue together  then print out COLORFUL fishes and paper punch hole
 at nose put a paper clip and HAVE FUN FISHING   with your pole and fishes.

 

Animal Sounds

Play a nature tape and ask the kids to identify the animal sounds.

 

Pack the Backpack

Bring into the classroom a large backpack.  Also have many camping items available,
 such as sweatshirts, flashlights, lanterns, foods, raincoats, etc.  The teacher gives the children
 instructions that they are going to pretend to go on a hike.  What is the one thing they will need
 to bring along?  Why?  Continue until all the children have had a chance to contribute.

 

Missing Item

Set several camping items on the table.  Children close their eyes and along comes a
 "bear" and snatches an item. Children open their eyes and name the item that's missing.

 

Canoeing

Line up 4 chairs and show children how to paddle. Listen to sounds of
 rushing water while canoeing. Have children have a race against each other.

     

Camper Says

Played similar to "Simon Says" except the teacher says "Camper Says."
 With younger children, do not make children sit out... just say "camper didn't say."

            

Nut Hunt

Hide nuts inside or outside, like you would for an Easter Egg Hunt.
Younger children sort theirs by type ... walnut, peanut, pecan, etc.

 

Sleeping Bag Races

Be creative, how many kids can fit in a sleeping bag, relay
 race in a sleeping bag, obstacle course in a sleeping bag .

 

Shape Guessing Game

I have all the kids sit in the tent with the lights out. I stand outside with die cuts and a flash light and
 hold up a die cut. The kids inside the tent guess what the object is. I use a leaf, sailboat, sun, etc.
