Roberta here with some fun camp games to play. We did all three of these this morning at craft camp (it was a special outdoor fun day today). I hope you like them as much as I did!
Game 1: Wacky Words
This was a warm up game and it was a lot of fun! The counselor called out a word that was three or more letters long and each team (there were five teams of four kids each) wrote it on the left side of a piece of paper. They then wrote the same word backwards on the right side. Then we tried to make words by filling letters in the middle. This is how one of ours turned out:
It’s not as easy as it first looks! Also, we had a time limit of only two minutes!
Game 2: Veggie Soup
In this game, everyone was named one of four vegetables: carrot, potato, cucumber or bean. Everyone was seated on a chair in a circle to begin the game, and then one kid got up and called the name of a vegetable (like “carrots!”). All the carrots had to get up from their seat, run into the middle of the circle and then run back to find a chair. Whoever was left standing called another vegetable name. If the kid called “Veggie soup!” we all had to get up, run into the middle and then find a new chair. We stopped when we got REALLY tired!
Game 3: Mystery Kid
I really liked this game! Everyone stood in a circle. One kid was ‘it’. The kid who was ‘it’ secretly chose a kid in the circle. We were able to ask ‘it’ questions about the chosen kid, to try and figure out who it was. As we asked questions, kids sat down if they didn’t fit the description. For instance, the first question we asked was “is it a boy?” and kid who was it said “no”, so all the boys sat down. The next question was “does the kid have a skirt on?” and the kid who was it said no, so all the girls in skirts sat down. We kept playing until only one kid was left standing: me! I got to be the next ‘it’!
Grelot, I’m happy you are having a great time! Those sound like really fun games! Thanks for the ideas!
Great games but i never heard of them! We played lots of other games like these in my local camp and I miss camp! :( Have fun Roberta! :)
I love mystery kid game! I cannot wait to play it!!! ——-CUTSOKS
Those are great games! my friends and I play lots of games like these! >>cathouse2
I like mystery kid the best! It’s kinda like Guess Who. Hmmmm. I’m a girl wearing white shorts & a teal shirt. LOL! $Strawberry_Starburst$
We played similar games when I went to my highschool open house. We played this really fun game where everyone tied a balloon to their ankles and you had to run around and try to pop peoples’ balloons! That was my favourite game. It was really tiring though, and you had to be REALLY careful to make sure nobody was sneaking up on you and popping your balloon! :)
Fun! I like mystery kid the best.
That sounds like a lot of fun! ♥
Veggie Soup sounds fun, but maybe I’ll call it Fruit Cup. I don’t like my veggies. I could never be a vegetarian. Ever. ~CC~
@CoconutCloud, how can u not like veggies? i ♥ any type of food, just pass it along on a nice plate n i’ll gobble it up in a few rapid bites! num num num num num, all done! lol. -random
Ugh ! I agree CoconutCloud . I don’t really like any vegetables either . The one that I despise the most is Broccoli rabe ( a close cousin to broccoli ) and its so bitter it makes me pucker like a fish ! puffthemagicdragonΩ
Great games. Gets you active and thinking!
Great games Roberta! They sound fun. My friend’s coming over in a few days. I can play these games with her! ~Phoenix~
