Going camping any ideas for good camping outdoor night games?

Well, it's not a game so much as a treat. Get a bag of Wint-O-green Lifesavers. Have everyone pair up and one at a time, crunch the candies. You'll see a neat light show. I use this during a night hike program after we talk about fireflies. The kids dig it, but adults seem the most surprised. Also, you can do a "blind" hike. That's where only the leader can see. Everyone else has blindfolds on and walk along holding hands. You have to communicate effectively from front to back so everyone gets messages like "watch out for the stick" or "bend down", etc. Another fun thing we've done - relates to nocturnal animals' sense of smell - is a matching smell game. You get some kind of containers (film canisters work great) and put something smelly in each. There should be 2 of every kind of smell. For smells, you can use candy pieces like butterscotch or peppermint or you can soak cottonballs in flavored extracts (vanilla, peach, apple, etc.). Everyone pulls one container out of a bag and has to match up with the person that has the same smell. Kids love this game. "Pack it up" is another game we use to play, and I guess it would work at night, too. You get 2 backpacks full of gear, the same gear in each, like flashlight, mess kit, bug spray, etc. You have 2 teams where everyone is paired up with another teammate - one person per team is blindfolded. At "GO!" 2 pairs go from the starting line to where the bags are. The "sighted" person has to direct the blindfolded person to grab all the items and put them into the backpack, then fully zip all the zippers. Once the gear is packed, the sighted team member directs the blindfolded one to "pack it up" - meaning put the backpack on. Then the teams make their way back to the starting line. P.S. The Lifesaver candies need to be the ones that are not sugar free. The spark effect is called triboluminescence.
