If there's a small stream handy how about a duck race?? 16 yellow plastic ducks numbered 1-16 in a net bag..Each child draws a duck from the bag and the number on the bottom goes against their name on a sheet of paper...Designated start/finish point...Winner gets a small token prize...Net for gathering ducks at the end of the race would be handy!!! As would extra ducks...As adults have been known to want to join in(well on the ones I've been at they do)...........

Great ideas thank you - seemed a silly post but I knew I would get some ideas that we haven't already exhausted in previous trips !

Thanks again, now if you can all pray for sun that would be great too

How about a scavenger hunt?

Or flashlight tag?

A few board games in case it rains?

Have a wonderful time!!!

A games compendium is a good one as it has so many games in, plus we used it to teach the kids to gamble playing cards one afternoon,using counters and tokens instead of money.

Another version of the duck race is to have a paper boat race. We spent one wet afternoon making and decorating the paper boats. We then raced them down the river the next day. Adds a bit more excitement as some boats will sink and if any do get away at the end they will just decompose
