Pumpkins aren’t just for decorating or carving—they can also be used for fun outdoor camp games!

Here are a few creative ways to use pumpkins in your fall camp activities to get kids moving and having fun.

 

Pumpkin Bowling

Set up a bowling lane using toilet paper rolls as pins and use a small pumpkin as the bowling ball. This is a great way to incorporate pumpkins into your fall camp games while improving coordination and teamwork.

Pumpkin Relay Race

Divide kids into teams and have them race while balancing a small pumpkin on their heads or holding it between their knees. The first team to complete the relay wins! This game is perfect for outdoor fall days and can be a great activity at camp or home.

Pumpkin Scavenger Hunt

Hide mini pumpkins around your camp area and give the kids a list of clues to find them. The person or team who finds the most pumpkins wins a fun prize.
