Campfire Team Building Activities

1. Twenty Questions: It is one of the best campfire games to play because of its versatility and high level of entertainment.

2. Name that song: Name that song is one of the best campfire games if there’s a musician in the group — one of those types who can play any song on the guitar, on demand! They simply play a short riff, intro, or section of a song and the rest of the group has to guess what the song is as quickly as possible. It can be done in teams or you can score individually.

3. Stand Up & Shout: Everyone sit around the campfire and any participant can start. Each participant can shout only one number, but they must stand up when they shout it out. Though numbers must be shouted in order, there is no assigned order around the campfire – anyone can shout out a number at any time. As more and more people try to call out numbers, there will be lots of opportunities to be eliminated.

4. Ghost Stories: A scary story should be brought up at least once when sitting amongst the woods. Maybe participants already have a stock of them, or want to brush up beforehand, sure to get everyone to share one!

5. Hot Seat: One person in the chair facing the group is‘HOT SEAT’! others write a funny or strange word on a piece of paper and hold it up behind the prospect in the hot seat for everyone to see. The group must try to get the hot seat member to guess the word by giving hints and clues. If the person gets the word after everyone gave a hint, they are safe, if not the group decides on a fun punishment.

6. Shoeking: Sitting around the campfire on camping chairs, everyone balance a shoe on his or her toes. The aim here is to flick the shoe backwards over their head. The person who manages to throw the shoe the farthest over their head is declared the winner.

7. Marshmallow Maverick: How many times can participants roast a crust around a marshmallow on a stick in the fire, pulling the little crust off and roasting it again until there is NO marshmallow left?

8. Empire: Empires is best when you are with a group who are willing to give away the best secrets! It’s a great game for conversation starters but can only really be played well once or twice within the same group as it gets hard coming up with good secrets.

9. Campfire Stories: Campfire stories are a classic camping activity. Whether you’re looking for ghost stories, tales of adventure, or funny anecdotes, just turn to your camping for entertainment.
