Playing games and doing activities together at the campsite with your loved ones is the best, add Christmas time to the list and you'll have the happiest experience of your life. Brainstorming what to do might not be the easiest part of the trip, so here I am offering a helping hand to save you from all that stress. Here you have some of the best activities to try this December. Let's take a look.
What better than a little competitive moment with family and friends. People love to compete and use their creativity to win, with this activity people will get so competitive they'll even forget you're related to them. You're allowed to get as creative as you can, you can organize prizes for the winner so the competitors will feel even more motivated to participate. It's simple, the best gingerbread house wins. As an extra tip, you can put Christmasy music in the background while everyone is busy building their houses.
You can never go wrong with a scavenger hunt. Again, feel free to get creative. You can decide what you're going to hunt, for example, placing the items you have to hunt in the campsite yourself could be a little tricky, you might forget where you place some of them. Camping rule number 1, always leave everything as you found it, meaning, leave it cleaned. Instead of doing that, you can make a little list of things the competitors have to find in the wild, like leaves or animals, for instance. You can ask people to take a picture as proof that they found every item on the list.
This game is a classic and it's always fun to play it with family and friends. Once again, people love to get competitive. You can split your group into teams, each team gets a certain amount of time to guess as many characters as possible. If you want to add a little twist you can add cards with your family's name, those are the characters the team have to guess. It's the perfect game for a little bonding time.
Christmas is typically a time of the year you want to remember. If you'd like to go back and remember what you did for Christmas, how you looked like and who was with you, a photoshoot is the best idea. Take pictures of everything and everyone, you can put together an album later. Catch every single moment and experience, all the games, all the smiles, all those happy moments with your loved ones.
Nobody writes letters these days,
it's an activity that now is mostly in the past. Christmas also signifies the end
of the year, the last month before a new year arrives. It's the best time to
reflect on yourself. You can write a letter to yourself about everything you
did in the year and the things you wish to do the next one. If there are some
regrets, negative feelings, or negative experiences you want to erase from
memory, writing a letter and throwing it into the bonfire can help. Lastly, you
can also write a letter to a special someone, someone you feel grateful for.
It's always a nice gesture to let people know how much you care about them.
