Pack Extra Fun into RV Weekend with Kids

Unplugging your kids — and yourselves — from the electronic devices that command so much of their  — and your — attention to spend the occasional weekend focusing on each other is a great way to build family togetherness. It’s that chance to build and strengthen family ties that leads many families to purchase their first RV. And it’s the fun families have together while traveling in their RV that makes them die-hard members of the RV Nation.

Spicing up your family RV weekends with a few special treats and activities will build memories and create fun family traditions that you and your kids will look forward to every time you head out in your RV. Try these ideas adapted from FamilyFun magazine.

- Prop Charades. Use objects found in your RV — a paper towel tube, pillow, cereal box, fork, etc. — as props for family charades. Players must use the prop to act out their clue while others guess. A paper towel tube might be a pirate’s spyglass or Statue of Liberty torch.

- Tiny Treasure Hunt. To make hiking more fun, give each person a small bag to fill with things they find along the way. Create a list of things to hunt for or go freestyle and compare treasures when you get back to your RV. Ideas: acorn top, funny shaped stick, colored leaf, interesting stone, etc. You can also take a big bag and pick up litter during your hike to protect the outdoors.
