Favourite Games to Play on a Rainy Day
With the weather a little unpredictable at the moment, I thought it might be a good idea to share your favourite games to play in your caravan or motorhome. Our firm family favourite has to be Dobble. It's lightweight so easy to take away with you. We still love some of the classics though! What do you recommend and why?

We just get out and about whatever the weather. Don't do games at home so why would we do them in the caravan, we do plenty of reading though. Both the dog and I need to go out for walks every day so we just dress for the weather and get on with it.

Rummikub is our go to game in the caravan, expensive new but about £10/15 second hand on e-bay.
When the boys came with us we used to play Continuo.

I am not a games person either. I enjoy my jigsaws but they are not very convenient in the motorhome. There are usually things you have to do whilst on a campsite regardless of weather and if it really does persist all day then I just have a snooze in the afternoon

A wet day in the caravan 50 years ago in August and Andy was born the following May.

We take a lot of books with us. My favourite game is to get the map out or ACSI books and plan where to move to that’s sunny. Not in the UK though which is not set up for touring and where it’s difficult to escape bad weather.

We're both Kindle 'addicts' and like nothing better than settling down with a good book. Not surprising that I thoroughly enjoy crime thrillers - my favourite series being DCI Harry Grimm - set in and around Hawes that we know so well.

Mind games for us. I tend to cogitate for a couple of hours over a Cryptic Crossword or a chess puzzle/s. I leave the reading until later in the evening. We're not tele watchers so may have some music on or both disappear into YouTube land.
OH loves to sit there and draw or get her "caravan only" painting gear out and use whatever she can see as an object to be consigned to paper.
Will always make an effort to get out and about if we can either for a walk or visit a Historic place.

Hide and seek, but that doesn’t last too long, and then it’s UNO which is a family favourite especially with the Grandchildren.

The only little game we have in our MH is this
Great bit of fun, quite strategic with two adults playing, but children should enjoy it. Helpful with a bit of geographic knowledge as well. All fits inside a 6 inch tin, weighs about 4 ounces.😁 We sometimes play best of three, as a game flows quickly.
We always have books, crafts onboard, and being pooch owners, you just get out there and dress for the weather. We do indoor site seeing if it’s very wet. Probably still got a Monopoly somewhere in caravan🤔

Another lightweight game is Mousey Mousey. Best with lots of players, a good one with children, be prepared for plenty of noise and endless laughs. You have to watch your fingers though🤣 Good for having to concentrate and tests reflexes.

I do have some games stored in the van, a set of boules, a portable chess set, UNO, Connect 4 and a pack of playing cards but they only come out when the youngest grandchild is around. We are more into amusing outselves by other means, music, TV and a favourite of mine Freecell.

I like dominoes, cards and backgammon. We have a travel backgammon set somewhere.
I suppose it’s a lot different with children along, something we have rarely experienced. We had good times with our best friends and their lovely daughter as a little one. She looks after us now🤣 My inner child usually emerges on a beach. I love to make a mermaid and decorate it with seaweed and seashells. If it’s warm enough, swimming in the rain is lovely as well, but you soon get cold when you get out of sea🥶
