One of the best parts of a camping trip is when the campfire is lit and everyone is ready to relax and have fun. Kids can enjoy making s’mores, stargazing, and swapping scary stories around the campfire. But once they’re in bed, it’s time for the adults to have fun! Between drinking beer or wine and swapping stories, why not add a fun activity to make the night more enjoyable?
Here are some awesome campfire games for adults that you can try playing:
sevens
This is a fun game for when everyone is drinking around the campfire. The game rule is quite simple:
- Start counting, going around the circle. The first person will say “1”, the next person will say “2”, and so on.
- Any number that has a 7 or is a multiple of 7 should clap instead of saying the number. It should go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6, clap, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, clap, 15, 16, clap, 18, 19, 20, clap, and so on!
- Anyone who hesitates or doesn’t clap, have a drink.
- To make the game more fun, reverse the direction every time a person claps!
geography game
This is a good game to start the night! If you’re planning on relaxing around the campfire, this quick and easy game will do the trick. This is how it is played:
- Decide what kind of venue you will be playing in: it could be a country, a city, a town, etc.
- If, for example, you choose to name countries, then someone should start by saying a random country, such as Switzerland.
- The next person must name a country beginning with the last letter of the indicated country. Since the last country mentioned is Switzerland, the next person can say Denmark and so on.
- You can also choose other categories like animals, food, or celebrities.
animal sounds
A simple and fun game, even children can play it. If you’re in for a night of laughter and some physical activity, this is a great game to play. This is how it is played:
- Players must form a circle. Choose someone to blindfold and stand in the middle.
- Players will then begin to walk around the blindfolded person.
- The person in the middle will yell “stop,” point to a random person in the circle, and name an animal.
- The designated person will make the sound of that animal.
- The blindfolded person will have to guess who made the animal sound. If he is correct, he will trade with that person and if he is wrong, the game will continue until he is correct.
These awesome campfire games for adults will make your camping trip even more memorable!
