Camp chairs are perfect perches for enjoying a campfire. Whether you’re sitting closer or further away, the proper seating will keep your legs warm and your face away from the fire. Sleeping bags are another good idea for around a fire, but keep a safe distance from the portable campfires’ flames. There are many other ways to enjoy a campfire, too. The following are some tips to make it a more memorable experience.
Make Me Laugh
If you want to have a good time at a campfire, try playing a game called Make Me Laugh. Players must be humorous in order to make the other players laugh. They must ask silly questions, tell jokes, or use their facial expressions to make the other team laugh. Laughter is contagious and will keep you warm on a cold winter evening. This game can be played one-on-one or as a group.
Some campfire games require a light source, but many are fine in the campfire glow. Just remember to follow quiet hours at the campground and be respectful of your neighbors.
Truth or dare
This classic game is perfect for enjoying a campfire with friends and family. You can divide up into teams and have teams answer the questions as they come to them. For example, you can have team 2 come up with an idea for the game, write it on a card, and then show the card to a team member who pantomimes the topic for the rest of the group to guess. The team that guesses the topic correctly gets a point.
Then, the teams take turns asking, “Truth or Dare?” The person who answers truthfully is the “Truth,” while the person who is answering a lie must complete the “Dare.”
Bingo
How to enjoy a campfire with bingo can be done in two ways? Well, by making your own bingo cards or printing them out from the internet. The latter option is the best choice if you want to print several cards and use them all at once. Camping bingo cards are a great choice if you’re going out in the middle of nowhere. Simply print them out on cardstock, cut them out, and fill them with pictures of things you might see while camping.
When everyone is ready to play, shuffle the calling cards. Then, a player called “caller” shows each card to everyone and names it. Next, a player calls bingo by placing a bingo marker on that card. The game continues until a player calls out “bingo” for four in a row. If there are more than four cards, a player can call bingo multiple times.
Scavenger hunts
When planning a family outing in the woods, try to incorporate scavenger hunts into your activities. Not only will your children love solving puzzles, but they’ll also have fun and increase their observation skills!
Create a campfire scavenger hunt, in which each team member tries to find the objects listed on a checklist. The team that finds the objects wins the prize. Scavenger hunts for outdoor activities can include scavenger hunts for family members and for employees. Try using the items from your workplace and find out if they are in the right place!
Putting out a campfire
Putting out a campfire is an important part of camping. You don’t want to wake up to the smell of burning wood. After you’ve put out your campfire, you need to check it for heat. If you can, stay by it for a few minutes to ensure there are no strong winds that will continue to feed the fire. You also need to make sure that the fire is not threatening any nearby homes.
It is a summertime tradition to sit around a campfire and roast marshmallows, but you should know how to put it out safely. Never leave a campfire unattended. It’s easy for it to get out of hand, so stop adding wood as soon as you can. Let it burn down until it’s completely out. Otherwise, it could catch an ember and reignite. Fire safety is everyone’s responsibility.
