Ten Games to Play Around the Campfire

Playing games around a campfire can be a fun and memorable experience. Here's a list of ten games to enjoy with friends and family:

1. Campfire Stories: One person starts a story with a few sentences, and then each person takes turns adding a few more sentences. The story continues around the campfire until it reaches a satisfying conclusion.

2. Campfire Charades: Write down various campfire-related words or phrases on pieces of paper. Players take turns drawing a random paper and acting out the word without speaking, while others try to guess what it is.
3. Name That Tune: One person hums or whistles a campfire song melody, and others try to guess the name of the song. You can take turns being the "tune hummer."

4. Campfire Riddles: Prepare a list of riddles related to camping, nature, or animals. Take turns asking the riddles, and see who can come up with the most correct answers.

5. Ghost in the Graveyard: This classic outdoor game is perfect for playing around a campfire. One person is designated as the ghost, and they hide while the others count. The group then tries to find the ghost, who will try to scare them when spotted.

6. Campfire 20 Questions: One person thinks of something related to camping or nature, and the others have 20 yes-or-no questions to guess what it is.

7. Campfire Trivia: Prepare a set of camping or nature-related trivia questions and divide the group into teams. Test each team's knowledge and see who can answer the most questions correctly.
8. Flashlight Tag: If your campfire area is spacious and safe, consider playing flashlight tag. One person is "it" and has a flashlight. When they spot someone else, they shine the light on them, and the tagged person becomes "it."
9. Campfire Sing-Along: Bring along some musical instruments like guitars or a ukulele and have a sing-along session with your favorite campfire songs.
10. Shadow Puppets: Use the campfire's light to create shadow puppets on a nearby surface like a tent or a screen. Get creative and see who can come up with the most elaborate and recognizable shapes.

REMEMBER to prioritize safety and have appropriate adult supervision if children (or alcohol) is involved. Enjoy the campfire games and create lasting memories with your fellow campers!
