As a caravan or camper owner, you are probably familiar with the following challenge. Entertaining your own child during the holidays. Especially when it rains. But even though everyone prefers to enjoy sunshine, you certainly don't have to be bored if it does rain. Especially for these moments, we have some handy tips to make the most of the bad weather.

Go outside

Children used to know no better. Whether the weather is good or bad, during the holidays you play outside. Put a men's rain jacket on the boys and a women's rain jacket on the girls and have fun in the rain. How much fun is it to go down a slide when it slides extra well? Or up and down on the seesaw, splashing into a large puddle of water? Getting a little wet and dirty is not so bad at all. Most campsites simply have a washing machine, a good jacket is waterproof and after all the games, the children can take a shower. This can be in a shared shower building, but there are also plenty of caravans and campers with their own bathroom.

Watch a movie

Maybe it's not always a good idea to put your child in front of a screen. But during the rain, sometimes you have to make do with what you have. And if you do choose to use a laptop or tablet, make sure it's a party!

Make sure you have enough fun movies downloaded on a laptop or tablet and create a mini cinema in the awning. Move tables and chairs aside, cover the floor with warm blankets, and arrange healthy snacks to munch on. During such a movie afternoon, it might also be nice to invite other children from the campsite and watch something fun together. An entertaining way to spend the day for everyone.

Board games

Playing board games with the whole family has become increasingly popular lately. So, before you leave, pack a box with different games. Popular games lately include Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne, and Catan. The advantage of these games is that there are also variants released suitable for young children. These may seem very simple to parents. But because the rules are very understandable, it ensures that everyone can win or lose. A little competition on a rainy day makes time fly by.

And if you don't have room to take boxes full of games on holiday? Then at least make sure you bring a pack of cards. That's the ideal travel game. It takes up very little space and with one deck you can play an incredible variety of games. Hearts, Pesten, Jokeren; the possibilities are endless! These rules are also easy to explain, depending on the game you play, so even with a small box you can entertain yourself all afternoon.
