Games for a rainy day

It is inevitable that if you do enough camping, sooner or later you will get caught trying to entertain kids in a tent while the rain comes down outside.  The recent run of wet weather got me thinking about how we manage to entertain our kids in the rain and I thought I would share some of our favourite games with you.

Our kids love playing in the mud, love splashing in puddles and generally staying outside as long as they can.  Of course this is to be encouraged whenever possible - after all why go camping in the great outdoors if you're afraid of a little mud or dirt?

But of course these activities cannot go on forever.  After a while the little bodies get cold. When the shivering starts and the lips go blue, the fun starts to leave really quickly and it is time to get them warm and dry.
