Game # 4 – You can’t go camping unless you bring……

Imagine you and you’re camping buddies walking out of your camping tents after a great dinner at your camp site and a short evening nap.  You are all sitting around the campfire sharing some small talk and you say “Hey, let’s play a camping game called “You can’t go camping unless you bring….”.  Then you explain the rules like this.  I’m thinking of an object here at the camp site or in our camping tents and you need to guess what it is.  You need to ask a Yes or No question to help figure out what the object is.  Everyone needs to listen to the questions and answers.  If I answer your question with a ’Yes’, you get to guess what the object is that I’m thinking about and you get another turn.  But if I answer your question with a ’No’, the next person to my left takes their turn asking a question.  For example.  Let’s say you are wearing a white sweat shirt and that becomes the object you want others to figure out.  You would start by saying: “You can’t go camping unless you bring…..”.  Now the person to your left asks a question like this.   Can the object be worn?  You would answer Yes.  They would then say “I know I can’t go camping now but what if I bring…. and then they make their guess of what they think the object is based on all previous answers to questions.  Regardless of their guess, that person gets another turn.  But if you answer their next question with a ‘No’, the next person to their left takes a turn asking a question.  You keep going around the circle of people until somebody finally guesses the object correctly and then they get to think of the next object.  People can talk among themselves between guesses if they want.  It’s a really fun camping game for adults and kids.  Give this game a try next time you are camping with others.
