Best RVing Games and Activities to Pass the Time
Story Time
Telling stories on RVing trips is one of the oldest traditions in the great outdoors. Whether you’re telling scary stories, funny stories or anything between, sharing stories can be a wonderful way to get to know one another, laugh and even get a good scare. Encourage your kids to tell stories, too, to help expand their imaginations.
Obstacle Courses
Depending on how larger your gathering is, obstacle courses can be built with relative ease. You can use the existing surroundings to help build the course and add to it with things you brought from home. Obstacle courses can be a fun way to compete with one another, get some exercise and have fun.
Cards and Board Games
Card games and board games are time-honored traditions of RVing and travel in general. Whether it’s a game of War between brothers or a rousing family Monopoly match, card and board games can bring all sorts of fun and excitement to a trip. Card games can be brought just about anywhere or online, so you can bring a variety for the journey. They can be played on the road and once you arrive for fun no matter the destination.
Sports
Everything from football to softball to throwing Frisbees can help get family and friends active, competing and working for some fun. Any type of sport can be a fantastic way to get into the spirit of RVing, even if it’s just a tossing around a baseball or playing fetch with your dog. Getting outdoors with the family is a terrific way to bond, get some exercise, and enjoy the world around you.
Capture the Flag
Capture the flag, and its many variations, are one of the most exciting ways to get everyone involved in a RVing trip. There are hundreds of ways to play this game and it can be adapted for kids of all ages. Whether you’re getting physical and working hard to capture the flag or having more fun with smaller kids playing it, it can be a fun way to play. See if the families around you want to join in on the fun for an even more exciting day.
Scavenger Hunts
Scavenger hunts can be one of the most exciting, frustrating and downright competitive ways to get into the outdoors spirit. Scavenger hunts can be as big or small as you like, and they can make you think as well as sweat. A properly designed scavenger hunt can last days, or longer, and they can be some of the best memories you’ll make when RVing.
No matter once you do when you arrive, enjoy your time with your family and the people you meet along the way.
