As the sun sets, it’s the perfect time for bonding with friends, sharing stories, and enjoying the great outdoors! If you’re looking forward to fun campfire activities that will enhance your camping experience, you’re in the right place! Here are five fun campfire activity ideas that will make your evenings unforgettable.
5 campfire activities to try at PGL
1. Songs and sing-along
What better way to kick off your campfire night than with a lively sing-along? Bring everyone together by choosing popular songs that everyone can join in on. Whether it’s classic tunes like ‘Take Me Home Country Roads’ or traditional folk music, singing around the fire creates a sense of belonging. Encourage everyone to share their favourite songs, and don’t hesitate to throw in some dance moves too!
2. Storytelling
Storytelling is a timeless campfire activity that sparks imagination and creativity. Groups can take turns sharing tales—whether they’re spooky, adventurous, or just downright silly. You could even create a collaborative story, where each person adds a sentence to build on what the last person said. This fun campfire activity leaves everyone laughing and engaged, strengthening the bonds of friendship among campers.
3. Play games
Games are a fantastic way to bring energy to your campfire gatherings. Charades is a classic that never fails to amuse. Split into teams and act out phrases, movies, or famous personalities without speaking. Alternatively, 20 Questions is great for testing your friends’ deduction skills. Choose a person, place, or thing, and let the questioning begin! These fun campfire activities are perfect for all ages and will keep everyone entertained.
4. Go on a scavenger hunt
Add a little adventure to your campfire night by organising a scavenger hunt! Before the sun sets, prepare a list of items for your group to find around the campsite. Items can include natural elements like pine cones or specific leaves. This interactive campfire activity not only encourages teamwork but also heightens the excitement of the outdoors. Plus, once everyone returns, you can gather around the fire to share your finds!
5. Toast marshmallows
No campfire experience is complete without toasting marshmallows! Grab your sticks and get ready for the ultimate campfire treat. Once toasted, you can enjoy them plain, sandwich them between biscuits and chocolate for s’mores, or even add them to your hot chocolate for a delicious twist! This sweet campfire activity is a crowd-pleaser and the perfect ending to your night. For more mouth-watering ideas, be sure to check out our guide to tasty campfire treats.
