Have a game day

A British getaway can be a little unpredictable, so it never hurts to bring some cards or games along just in case the weather doesn’t play ball. There are plenty of ways to have fun while staying in your caravan and who doesn’t love a family game night? If you didn’t bring something, you can always play charades, organise a scavenger hunt, or some classic pen and paper games such as noughts and crosses. Get creative and have fun.
