Kindergarten Camping Activities
If you’re looking for a fun way to engage young learners with camping themed printables and activities, you’re in the right place! Find a great activity for your little kids with some of the fun activities below.
Backyard Astronomy
Engage in a little backyard astronomy with your kids. Go outside after dark and look at the stars. See if you can identify well known constellations like the big dipper or talk about the phases of the moon together.
In the classroom, you can use a star projector or glow in the dark star stickers to show your kindergarten students constellations. They’ll love laying on the floor of the classroom and looking up at space with the lights out. It’s a special kindergarten camping activity they’ll remember for years to come!
Camp Charades
Try a fun interactive game of camp charades to get your students up and moving. It’s the perfect way to practice gross motor skills in the classroom and at home with younger kids. First, organize the classroom into groups.
Then, write local wildlife and camping vocabulary words on slips of paper or charade cards for kids to draw from a hat. Students will take turns acting out their word and getting their team to guess the correct answer. It’s the perfect game for getting the wiggles out on rainy days with your little learners this summer.
Making S’mores
Making this delicious camping treat is a great addition to any camping themed lesson plans in your kindergarten classroom this year. I really love the way this fun snack can be used to help teach kids about following multi-step directions and sequencing.
After making s’mores together, get your kindergarten students to write or draw the steps on paper. They’ll be learning about following steps in order and getting extra practice putting items in the correct sequence too.
Nature Scavenger Hunt
A nature scavenger hunt is another fun camping theme activity for kids. Use camping sight words or a camping-themed picture list to make a checklist of items for your kindergarten nature scavenger hunt.
Then, hide the items around the classroom or take your kids outdoors for a nature scavenger hunt they’ll love. It’s a great way to work on visual discrimination skills with camping fun!
