Beach Games for Family on Spring Break
-
Heading on Spring Break woohoooooo!!! Looking for family games to play on the beach and at the house. Elementary aged. I'm going to try really hard to be good with my phone and keep it away, so something I would enjoy as well. Does this even exist? Thanks!

Great question...If i play another round of uno i may die.
My kids enjoy lego sets and puzzles (i enjoy doing both with them). Chalk isn't too bad. Scooters. Dominoes. Mancala. Cats Cradle. We haven't been to the beach in awhile but i remember mainly playing in the water jumping waves and boogie boarding.

When we go to the beach, we don’t do a lot of structured play. We jump the waves on the shore, my bigs swim, we dig in the sand with basic sand toys. Each girl gets a seashell pouch (mesh so sand and water drain out) so they have fun collecting shells and treasures. And we often use the collections to make art in the sand, draw with sticks, etc. They love burying themselves, chasing the birds, and watching any ships or dolphins that pass! The only other things we might bring are snacks, speaker for music, and the beach game kuub (though that’s geared more for adults).
As far as activities at the house, our favs are puzzles, happy salmon, exploding kittens, and basic crafts. We’ll sometimes bring a single mic too for karaoke night!

We don’t bring much. The Velcro handheld ball game for catch. Sand toys & a football. We bring card games for the house, a few board games like guess who & memory. I find if you bring just a few things they play in the water more and mine will wave crash for hours.

So fun!! We like football, mahjong on the beach with a travel set, and sandcastles 🫶. Also long walks to find the coolest seashells!
