Games / toys for DS8 and DD5

[FusionChefGeoff]

Any inspired games I could pack / do that don't take up much space and are largely leave them to it?? We're very squashed in the car but this is the first time we've attempted a week in a tent and I'm really worried I'm going to be exhausted trying to entertain them so need things I can throw at them whilst I'm trying to read my book!!

Dobble, jigsaw puzzles, wordsearches/puzzle book

Target vest set with velcro balls!! Amazing fun for a fiver!

Stomp rocket and frisbee good fun for camping too

Basic badminton set you don't need a net .., also basic cricket set get the most use over the years ...

Stomp rocket draws kids like moths to a flame

And dobble.

Oooooh stomp rocket sounds FUN!! Good news is we've got lots of these already so will gather them up over the weekend.

The target vest sounds like it has potential for injuries though the way my kids play games like that

Velcro bat and ball

Top Trumps
Giant snakes and ladders
Skipping rope

Some quiet things for when they wake up early:
Where’s Wally book
Sticker by numbers
Rush Hour Junior
Word searches

Not bubbles.

Uno takes up no room at all. Ditto Top Trumps (which my children unaccountably love, despite it being incredibly boring). Or even a pack of normal playing cards?
