Games to Play With a Large Group

largefamilygames

Kids love it when we adults get a bit silly. And I think we adults, secretly love it too. Remember the long summer evenings of playing hide-and-go-seek, or sardines with friends? Why does that have to stop now that we're older? Gather a few families and meet at a park to play some favourite childhood large-space games. At IAWAH we love to play a variety of large group games, sometimes in the woods, and sometimes on the soccer field.

Here are three classics that a lot of our large group camp games are based on.
