As the owner of a caravan or camper, you are probably familiar with the following challenge. Entertain 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 useful tips to make the most of the bad weather.

Nice to go outside

In the past, children didn't know any better. Whether the weather is good or bad, you can play outside during the holidays. Pull the boys one raincoat for men on and the girls one raincoat for women and have fun in the rain. How much fun is it to go down a slide if it slides extra well? Or up and down on the seesaw, splashing in a large puddle of water? Getting a little wet and dirty isn't that 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 is possible in a shared shower building, but there are also plenty of caravans and campers a private bathroom.

Watch a movie

It may not be convenient to always put your child behind a screen. But during the rain you sometimes 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 downloaded enough fun films 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 enjoy. During such a movie afternoon it might also be nice to invite other children from the campsite and watch something fun together. An entertaining day for everyone.

It takes up very little space and with one deck you can play many varied games. Chasing hearts, bullying, playing jokes; the possibilities are endless! These rules are also easy to explain, depending on the game you are playing, so even with a small box you can have fun all afternoon.
