Games and activities
Easy games for all ages. Every one needs nothing more than you can carry.
Frisbee
Light to carry and fun at any age. Count how many catches in a row you can manage.
Rounders
A bat, a ball and four jumpers for bases. Children against adults is always a good match.
Scavenger hunt
Write a list before you go: a feather, a pine cone, something yellow, a leaf bigger than your hand.
Charades
Films, books and songs, acted out on the grass. No kit needed.
Pie-eating race
Hands behind backs, small pies only, and someone ready with the wipes.
A good book
Sometimes the best picnic activity is lying in the sun and doing nothing at all.
