Packing some games for the whole family to enjoy can make great memories out of bad weather. And suiting up in a rain jacket and boots will bring a smile to every puddle splashing adventurer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re stuck inside or you want to get out into the rain, there are many games and activities for you to still have fun despite the weather. You can play card and board games, sing-a-long songs, or even take a turn down nature\u2019s slip and slide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve all been kept indoors by the weather at some point, and it\u2019s easy to let boredom take over. Fortunately there are many different activities and games that will let you take that rainy day and turn it into a good time.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"634\" src=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Campers-in-rain-1024x634.webp\" alt=\"Campers In rain\" class=\"wp-image-49189\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.615141955835962;width:641px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Campers-in-rain-1024x634.webp 1024w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Campers-in-rain-300x186.webp 300w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Campers-in-rain-768x476.webp 768w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Campers-in-rain-600x372.webp 600w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Campers-in-rain.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">ID 113821788 \u00a9 Mirko Vitali | Dreamstime.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_63 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-66050d6c7c0a7\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #5d7772;color:#5d7772\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #5d7772;color:#5d7772\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-66050d6c7c0a7\" checked aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/camping-in-rain-games\/#What_to_Bring_Camping_If_Rain_Is_In_The_Forecast\" title=\"What to Bring Camping If Rain Is In The Forecast\">What to Bring Camping If Rain Is In The Forecast<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/camping-in-rain-games\/#Indoor_Activities_For_Camping_In_The_Rain\" title=\"Indoor Activities For Camping In The Rain\">Indoor Activities For Camping In The Rain<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/camping-in-rain-games\/#Outdoor_Activities_For_Camping_In_The_Rain\" title=\"Outdoor Activities For Camping In The Rain\">Outdoor Activities For Camping In The Rain<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/camping-in-rain-games\/#Fun_Times_For_All\" title=\"Fun Times For All\u00a0\">Fun Times For All\u00a0<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Bring_Camping_If_Rain_Is_In_The_Forecast\"><\/span>What to Bring Camping If Rain Is In The Forecast<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While umbrellas are great for going from place to place, you\u2019re going to need both hands to get set up and do most things around your campsite. You\u2019ll thank yourself later for at least packing a rain jacket, and if you\u2019re like me and hate getting your socks wet I\u2019d recommend boots as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You definitely don\u2019t want to forget the rain fly if you\u2019re tenting it, and plastic bags are going to be your best friend. You can use them to insulate your pack, electronics, or even your wet clothes and shoes if you don\u2019t want them getting anything else wet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Newspaper is great at absorbing moisture, and will help dry your shoes out once you get back inside. It\u2019s also <a href=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/start-fire-snow\/\">much better than wet kindling for starting a fire<\/a>, trust me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you have the essentials, don\u2019t forget to bring your games and other time-passers. A deck of cards is easy to tuck in a backpack pocket, and there are hundreds of games you can play to keep you occupied.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also bring a couple of your favorite board games, and a notebook for hangman and other games. If you\u2019re musically inclined, feel free to bring your ukulele, harmonica, or other small instrument.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/dreamstime_m_163489574-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"Tarp Tent\" class=\"wp-image-49197\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7777777777777777;width:698px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/dreamstime_m_163489574-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/dreamstime_m_163489574-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/dreamstime_m_163489574-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/dreamstime_m_163489574-600x338.webp 600w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/dreamstime_m_163489574.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">ID 163489574 \u00a9 James Mahan | Dreamstime.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Indoor_Activities_For_Camping_In_The_Rain\"><\/span>Indoor Activities For Camping In The Rain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I know it\u2019s tough to see all of your plans go out the window when the storm clouds appear, but there are still many ways to have a great time indoors if you find yourself camping in the rain. Space may be limited in a tent but you can still bust out a pack of cards on your bedroll, sing songs and tell stories, and if you have cell reception you can get games on your phone as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a gazebo or clubhouse you can play card and board games as well as more active ones like Twister, and if you have a decent-sized group of people you can play relay-style games using items you\u2019ll already have with you.

It\u2019s not quite as long as Monopoly, but unlike monopoly you stay invested until the very end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every game of Catan takes at least an hour and more often two to complete which is good for riding out the rain, but be warned &#8211; friendships have been lost over this game (think Sorry), so keep that in mind if you have to share a tent afterwards.

If you want to add a bit of silliness, you can grab your flashlight and make shadow puppets to act out your stories as you tell them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everybody loves a singalong, and if you\u2019ve got someone with an instrument to play the melody it gets even better. You can sing all of your old favorites or experiment with new songs, but if you really want to get everybody going then challenge people to sing the lyrics of one song to the melody of another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Indoor Relay<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One family-friendly game you can do is to take a small trash can and get some tape, a rope or string, and some round object like a baseball or an orange or even a balled-up shirt.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make a belt out of the rope that will go around your waist and under the lip of the garbage can to hold it in front of you, and cut off a separate 18in section of rope. Tape one end of the rope to the lip of the garbage can that\u2019s away from you, and the other end to the round object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal is now to get the object into the trash can &#8211; without using your hands. Once you succeed pass it on to the next player, and watch everyone you like and love put their hips to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cell Phone Games<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s hard to remember what we did before cell phones. From social media to apps and games, they have become a dominant part of our lives. Fortunately they can also be a large part of your rainy day, as there are many apps that allow you to pass the time from solo games like Sudoku to group games like Heads Up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heads Up is a digital form of Taboo, where someone places the phone faceup on their forehead with a word on it that everyone else has to make them guess.

You\u2019re about to make some art. If you want to get super fancy with it you can get a twig for the fine details and a larger stick for the bolder strokes, or you can just grab one for everything and get to work scratching out your next masterpiece. The best part is if you don\u2019t like it, you can easily make it go away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a vinyl tablecloth around, you have the opportunity to make it your canvas and try your hand (literally) at mud painting. There\u2019s something just so satisfying about mud squishing through your fingers, and the vinyl will let the rain wash it all right off.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Puddle-splashing-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"Puddle-splashing\" class=\"wp-image-49193\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.499267935578331;width:625px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Puddle-splashing-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Puddle-splashing-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Puddle-splashing-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Puddle-splashing-600x400.webp 600w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Puddle-splashing.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">ID 70300696 \u00a9 8213profoto | Dreamstime.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Build a Dam<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to have a dam you have to have a river, or any source of flowing water really. Once you\u2019ve located that, channel your inner beaver and get to work stopping it up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll be amazed at how quickly a large pool of water will form behind your dam, but be careful if you try this on any large scale as even the little creek winding behind your site can back up and overflow in minutes. Your neighbors won\u2019t like you very much if their sites go from waterfront to under water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Slip And Slide<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Kids and adults alike are drawn to slip and slides, and a nice rainstorm is the perfect time to get your body surfing on. All you need is a grassy hill, and a little bit of dish soap if you really want to fly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to go down feet first you certainly can, but those who dare to Superman it will probably go the farthest. Throw on a little dish soap and you\u2019ll really beat out the others, just make sure there aren\u2019t any trees too close to the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"438\" src=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kayak-in-rain-e1586147704144-1024x438.webp\" alt=\"Kayak-in-rain\" class=\"wp-image-49195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kayak-in-rain-e1586147704144-1024x438.webp 1024w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kayak-in-rain-e1586147704144-300x128.webp 300w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kayak-in-rain-e1586147704144-768x328.webp 768w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kayak-in-rain-e1586147704144-600x257.webp 600w, https:\/\/lifeonroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kayak-in-rain-e1586147704144.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">ID 27207941 \u00a9 Sergey Kubyshin | Dreamstime.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kayaking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If there\u2019s a nice river or stream nearby this might be a great time to kayak. Rain makes rivers rise which will make them flow faster, and you\u2019ll get in an extra workout as you navigate the bends and forks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having said that, please don\u2019t kayak down a river that you aren\u2019t familiar with or one that has a flash flood warning. If you aren\u2019t comfortable with rapids, you\u2019re really not going to be comfortable with them when the water is up.
