We’ve put together more than 25 cute camping birthday party ideas that’ll help you plan the perfect get-together. You’ll find fun party foods like campfire s’mores, campfire hot dogs, and walking tacos. Of course, we’ve found a handful of adorable cake options (including easy cupcakes).

The list includes plenty of fun activities for the little campers to do during the party, like camping charades, camping Bingo, making lanterns, and painting walking sticks. We’ve also found some décor and party favor ideas that’ll really bring the theme together.

Check out these ideas for the best and cutest camping party you’ve ever seen.

Camping Birthday Party Food

S’mores campfire cones are a delicious idea for your dessert table. Provide waffle cones, chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows, wrap in foil, and pop them on the grill or in the fire pit for a few minutes. They’ll be a big hit with kids and adults alike! For variations on the recipe, add butterscotch chips, chopped strawberries, etc. You can set up a s’mores station so everyone can personalize their cone. | Frugal Coupon Living

If you’re planning a bonfire for your camp theme birthday party, these camping hot dogs are a must! They’re so easy to make using just hot dogs and crescent rolls. Provide ketchup or mustard to squeeze onto the dogs (optional) as well as cheese dip or barbecue sauce in individual cups for dipping. They’re delicious and filling, and you don’t even need a plate to eat them! | Frugal Coupon Living

This S’mores snack mix would make a great favor or take-home snack for your party guests, but it’s great for munching on while you mingle, too. Toasting the marshmallows gives this snack that S’mores vibe, but you can add them to the mix without toasting them, too. | Cincy Shopper

Walking tacos are an easy main dish to serve at your party with minimal mess to clean up. For this camping-themed party food, pile all your taco toppings into a bag of crushed Doritos or Fritos, grab a fork, and you’re ready to mingle while enjoying your tacos. They’re so good and don’t even require dishes. This fun camping food is an excellent camping party idea for adults or kids! | Frugal Coupon Living

These mini camping cookies are adorable! Set some out on the dessert table or wrap them in cellophane and tie them with a ribbon to hand out as favors at the end of the party. They’re easier to make than you think. Start with cut-out sugar cookie dough, and make royal icing in several different colors. Grab some camping-themed cookie cutters, and you’re all set. | The Decorated Cookie

Make pond water punch for the kids to drink! It’s a mix of blue Kool-aid and Sprite, but any blue drink you’d like works great. Add some fishing floats (and perhaps even a few gummy fish) to complete the look. So cool! | Surviving A Teacher’s Salary

These tent and campfire treats look as yummy as they are cute. They’re made with simple pantry ingredients you probably already have on hand, like peanut butter, Ritz crackers, and fruit roll-ups. If you don’t like chocolate raisins, you could use chocolate chips to make the stones around the campfire instead. The tent is made with graham crackers and caramel apple wrap. How brilliant is that? | She Knows

A trail mix bar is an absolutely genius idea for a camping party. Provide canisters of mini marshmallows, M&Ms, pretzels, cereal, chocolate chips, nuts, etc., for each child to make their own perfect trail mix. | And Everything Sweet

Cakes for a Camping Birthday Party

Birthday cakes make amazing centerpieces. Your guests will definitely ooh and ahh over this amazing lumberjack cake that’s made to look like a log and an ax. The surprise is the buffalo plaid interior. How fun! The peanut butter cracker cookies shown in this post are also terrific for a camping party. | Jenny Cookies (seen in our Father’s Day Cake Ideas)

Chocolate, graham cracker crumbs, and toasted marshmallows come together in these cute, easy, and delicious S’more cupcakes. The Teddy Graham and Hershey bar toppers are ultra-cute! This idea is simple enough that you can use a boxed cake mix and store-bought frosting instead of made-from-scratch if you’re short on time. | Tastes of Lizzy T

What could be more appropriate for a backyard camping birthday party cake than a campfire cake? This one is made with sugar glass for the campfire flames, rolled chocolate wafer sticks for the campfire logs, and a yummy chocolate frosting for the cake. | Simone Made It

What about having individual caping birthday party cakes? Campfire cupcakes are another terrific cake idea for a camp-themed birthday party, and they’re easy to make. You’ll need chocolate cupcakes (store-bought or homemade are both fine), chocolate and red frosting, mini marshmallows (optional), and pretzel sticks. | The Typical Mom

There are loads of great camping cake and cupcake ideas in this post, but the ones that caught our eye are the woodland animals’ cupcakes. You’ll need to be really great at working with fondant to recreate them, but there are other ways to do this, too! Use woodland animal paper cupcake toppers, or make or order some small woodland animal cookies to put on top. | Kara’s Party Ideas

There are so many cute details going on with this camping party that it’s difficult to choose just one idea, but a favorite is the teepee campfire cake. The cake looks like a log, and the fondant campfire and teepee sit on top. You should also check out the centerpieces and the canteen party favors. | Hostess with the Mostess

Camping Birthday Party Décor

Turn bandanas into a party banner to drape from the front of a table, from the ceiling, or above a doorway. You can purchase bandanas inexpensively from most dollar stores, so it’s an easy and fun decoration to put together. Add some greenery by clipping some branches from one of your trees, too. | Design Dazzle

Make the party for your happy camper comes together in no time with these printable camping party cupcake toppers. They feature cute and simple designs with tents, compasses, trees, canoes, and more that’ll go great with any camping theme. | Alice and Lois

A pinecone garland would make a festive piece of décor for a camping party, plus you can reuse it again for the winter holidays! You’ll need some jute ribbon or twine, hooks, and pinecones. For these camping party decorations, it’ll be even more special if you go round up the pinecones from your own backyard! | Redeem Your Ground

Add some greenery to the décor by placing pine branches in galvanized pails or vases embellished with a plaid ribbon. The wooden slice underneath and pine cones in front complete the look. | Studio DIY

Make some campsite signs to show your guests the way to the party! This is such a cute idea, and while I typically see it with wood, making your signs with cardboard is a great party sign alternative if you want to keep expenses down or aren’t handy with a saw and a wood burner. | The Busy Broad

Worried about having a real fire with little ones around? Make a faux campfire with sticks and red, orange, and yellow tissue paper. This idea would also be brilliant as a centerpiece at the dining tables (but on a smaller scale). | Rockin’ Boys

Camping Birthday Party Favors

How fun are these tacklebox favors? They’re filled with gummy worms and wrapped with twine and a fishing bobber with a tag that reads, “Thanks for making my party reel fun.” | Must Have Mom

Make some bandana sacks for the kids to take home. You can fill them with goodies or a few of your favorite things like gummy worms, goldfish, cookies, binoculars, candy, canteens, etc., and they’ll think it’s super cool that they can carry their sacks over their shoulders. Instead of using wooden dowels, consider picking up a few twigs in the yard for a rustic look. They make adorable birthday camping party favors but can also be used to wrap the special guy/gal’s gifts. | Kara’s Party Ideas

Camping Birthday Party Games and Activities

Let the kids make lanterns with glow sticks! This is a safe way for kids to enjoy the lantern experience. If you’re worried about glass jars, provide plastic ones instead. The kids will need some assistance with the wire hangers, or you could attach those to the jars before the party starts. | Frugal Coupon Living

Kick the party off with a fun nature scavenger hunt to entertain the kids. It’s a great activity if you have your party in a woodsy area, but you can simplify the list if you’re hosting the party in an area without many trees, sticks, etc., too. | Frugal Mom Eh! (As seen in our Scavenger Hunts for Kids)

Camping games and charades will have kids and adults alike in fits of laughter. These are easy and fun games for all ages. Print, gather supplies, and play. For the camping scavenger hunt, stick the clues in a jar or bowl, and have each guest come up to act out a scene. You can divide into teams if you want or have a free-for-all. Also, consider these lake games, just add lake water! | Frugal Coupon Living

If you have an outdoor birthday party, consider taking your party go-ers on a camping scavenger hunt around the campsite. Omit whichever camping scavenger hunt clues don’t fit your camping party décor. As they read rhyming riddles and find new clues, you can lead them to find their camping party favors or camping-themed prizes. | Frugal Coupon Living

Camping Bingo is another fun game that’s great for kids of all ages. It’s in picture form, so even toddlers and preschoolers can join in. If you’re hosting this party outside, use small pebbles as your Bingo markers. It’ll add to the theme and help hold down your game sheets. | Glue Sticks & Gumdrops (seen in our Bingo Printables for Kids)

Every happy camper needs a good walking stick to use while hiking and exploring. Let the kids create their own painted walking sticks to take on their adventures. | The DIY Dreamer

What makes this a fun scavenger hunt with a twist?

Typically scavenger hunts are reserved for at home or on a holiday like Easter or Valentines’ Day. What makes this an epically fun, unique scavenger hunt is the treasure hunt is set outside the home, often outside one’s own city or hometown. It’s a hotel scavenger hunt that makes a great activity for a resort, motel, conference center, hostel, or even a VRBO or Airbnb.

Family vacations and travel plans are so fun! While traveling in a plane or a car can be daunting and tiresome, that doesn’t mean that arriving at the hotel has to be a time to sleep. Use that travel energy and explore the room and layout of the hotel! This would be super fun for a family vacation, staycation, or even a birthday party with a hotel stay!

Hotel Scavenger Hunt Clues and Ideas

Everyone will have a blast with these fun clues. These scavenger hunt clues were created so that all ages can join in the fun! Even if someone isn’t old enough to read, they can still see the pictures and be on the lookout for those items. There are two pages of clues that range from items to find in a hotel, to shapes and colors to be on the lookout for.

See a sneak peek below of the printable scavenger hunt PDF so that you know exactly what it looks like!

Hotel scavenger hunt items include:

coffee pot
do not disturb sign
luggage cart
workout center
brochure
front desk
swimming pool
fire extinguisher

These are just a few of the items that the kids (and adults) can try to spot in the hotel! And who knows, you may end up finding even more fun items that you have to add to your own scavenger hunt list!

Make it Your Own!

Each user can make this scavenger hunt personal. Since we are all visiting different scavenger hunt locations and have various scavenger hunt participants, try some of these fun ideas to make the treasure hunt your own.

Hotel scavenger hunt ideas include…

Have a Fun Prize

Grab a few party favors or rewards for a special treat at the end of the hunt. A small prize can also act as a souvenir. Visiting Disney? Then grab a few princess party favors or mickey gifts off the internet before you travel. Hnad these items out to reward success at the end of the treasure hunt.

Count As You Go

Use the provided checklist for a hotel but allow the checklist items to add up. For example, did your team find multiple fire extinguishers? If they found 5, make that five points toward the scavenger hunt checklist total. The most points at the end of a set amount of time, wins.

Hotel Photo Scavenger Hunt

Create a virtual scavenger hunt and split up but make sure each team has a smartphone. Instead of giving each player a hotel scavenger hunt list of items, allow them to use their smartphone for a hotel photo scavenger hunt

Play like this… “The first item is a pillow.” Each team has to race and take a picture of a pillow in a group text. This can be a pillow on the couch in the lobby or a pillow in the hotel room. In the same format, have the mediator text “the next item is a local map.” Each team will race to take a picture of a local map and text it to the group. The team that returns the first image to the group, wins that round. Continue on with fun items like

- room number
- fitness room
- red chair
- funny picture in the hallway
- vending machine item
- etc.

Use the scavenger hunt checklist of items to guide the moderator in this phone scavenger hunt game.

This game is so much fun for an older group of teens or young adults. Heck, even grannie and gramps will have a good time with this fast-paced fun game.

What are the rules for this resort treasure hunt?

Since a hotel treasure hunt is a public scavenger hunt, it’s essential to go over a few rules. Manors and teaming up are two of the most important scavenger hunt rules.

The indoor scavenger hunt rules are a combination of the hotel rules and your family rules. Make sure that the kids know that they shouldn’t be wandering around the hotel alone and to always be with an adult from their own family while looking for things. It’s important to also team up young kids and older kids.

Also, abide by the rules of the hotel that there is no running or disturbing the other guests! Have them take a pencil so that they can mark off the items as they find them!

Who is this Hotel Photo Scavenger Hunt for?

Kids: This printable PDF is really for all ages. Make sure that the littles pair up with the big kids or adults – and have a blast. It’s a great way to burn off extra energy before a slower-paced activity.

Teens: Even the tweens will join in on the fun! Just be sure to remind them of that no-running rule – as teens can get pretty competitive!

Adults: Absolutely! Adults love good friendly competition and the ability to gloat the rest of the trip. It’s always fun to pair an adult up with one of the kids!

Do You Know Your Family Game

So what is this family trivia game? Do you know your family is a family-friendly game filled with questions and challenges. The family-friendly trivia questions require players to ask a question about themselves and their family to answer the questions. For added fun, there are challenge chards or action cards. The fun game cards are quick and easy so toddlers and grandparents are welcome to join in on the fun.

Let’s take a look at game trivia questions and family challenges that are a great fit for the entire family.

How Well Do You Know Your Family Questions

If you are familiar with family conversation starter questions, then you will understand how these family game cards work. Typically conversation cards for families require someone to answer in a way that is telling about oneself. However, for a fun twist, in this know your family? game, the fun questions are not introspective. Instead, they require a player to ask interesting questions and the rest of the family answers the questions in observance of the person asking the question.

Let’s look at a few family trivia card questions…

Question: Who is my favorite teacher?
Question: Which song do I know the most words to?
Question: If I could have a superpower, what would it be?

If a family member gets the right answer, they get to keep the card.

Mini Family Challenges

To step up the excitement, there are competitive challenges in this fun card game for families. This allows, in addition to questions, a little bit of friendly competition and action via fun challenges to do at home.

These fun challenges include supplies found in the home but if there is something you do not have, it can easily be replaced with something else so there is no need to buy more than the game itself.

Examples of family-friendly challenge cards include…

Action: Start at a table with chairs. At go, all players must get up and run around the house. The first player back to their chair wins the card.
Action: All players fold paper airplanes. The paper plane that flies the furthest gets to keep the card.
Action: See which player can stack the most coins in 30 seconds using only one hand. The winner takes the card.

In each of these frantic family fun competitions, the winner is the first person to finish and takes the card.

Do You Know Your Family Game Instructions

Now that you are ready to play, it’s important to know the instructions. The how well do you know your fam game instructions are rather simple. The game objective is to collect the most cards by the time the game is through.

To begin, download and print the do you really know me questions and actions. There is an editable page you can use to personalize your own questions and challenges. Once printed, you may choose to laminate your family game card set. This will help you reuse the set over and over. (However, if you don’t, save it to your computer to print as often as you would like.)

Cut your set of cards up to create a deck of cards. You may divide your conversation starter cards and action cards by card type or keep them as one complete set.

Start with the youngest player. Allow them to draw a card from the deck and ask a question or offer a family challenge. In challenges, the first to complete the challenge correctly gets the card. In game questions, the first to answer correctly gets to keep the card.

Make sure everyone has equal playing time. Go around the circle until you exhaust the deck or reach a time limit. At the end of the game, count your cards.

The player that has the most cards wins the game and REALLY KNOWS THEIR FAMILY!

You can twist up this game in various ways. Ideas for playing include…

Play kids vs parents – which set of family members will get the glory of the win?
Play vs the clock – create rapid-fire questions with each answer or challenge having a time limit.
Play in pairs – pair up players especially if younger players might need older kids or adults to help them.
Play in teams – this can be boys verse girls, age groups, generations, and more

Do You Know Your Family Printable

So why are the family challenge games your solution? Well if you’re tired of the same one-word answers from your child like “yes,” “no,” or “fine,” then these conversation cards might be your answer.

The printable family trivia game combines conversation starters and fun action challenges to create a memorable family game night. Tun family conversation starters into a game and use it as an opportunity to spark conversations with your child mixed with really silly challenges.

It’s the perfect game for the whole family and promises you’ll have a blast and laugh. It’s the easiest game to get to know your family. These cost you less than a Starbucks drink but they are priceless on the spectrum of amazing family memories created!

Ready for learning fun? Enjoy these cool hands-on math games for kids. Great for younger and older students, fitting all grade levels and areas of math.

Want to help your children or students love math? Ditch the worksheets for a while and play some fun math games instead. Kids of all ages can benefit from gamifying math concepts. Games help kids with strategic thinking and problem-solving. Not only that, but hands-on math games that allow kids to explore number concepts and combinations with manipulatives help them establish a deeper understanding of numbers and operations.

What are some Fun Math Games for Kids?

Kids’ games are just fun. Math games are a break in curriculum and instruction and allow kids to play without even realizing they learning. Often the hands-on math activity creates a deeper understanding of a math concept before transitioning to a new math unit.

A few fun math games to introduce into the classroom or even a family game night include…

These games are fun, but did you know you can make your own homemade math games? Additionally, online math games are fun, they add additional screen time which is not always desirable in the classroom. Let’s get the kids off an electronic device and back into hands-on learning with printable mathematics board games and puzzles.

A quick game is great for kinetic and visual learners in any grade level. If you want to motivate your young learner, try one of the free math games below. Many are easily adaptable to a single player or small group, so they’re perfect for home and in the classroom. You can even use them as indoor recess rainy day activities for many grade levels.

Take a look at these super fun DIY Math Games for Kids – preschool or middle school. Let the fun begin.

Math Games for Toddlers and Preschoolers

Preschool parents definitely know who Pete the Cat is. This fun math game is based on his Four Groovy Buttons! You can play this in several ways. The first is to roll the dice and add that number of buttons to the felt shirt. The second is to start with 10 buttons and subtract the number you roll. What a fun way to work on addition and subtraction and can be adapted into multiplayer games for a larger gorup! | Buggy and Buddy

Springtime is the season of flowers, and this game is sure to get kids excited for all the beautiful blooms they see. You can play the game with real or fake flowers, but the artificial flowers have sturdier stems that will stick in the playdough better. Roll the dice, and add that number of flowers to the pot. Easy peasy. You can practice subtracting, too. | Fun-a-Day

You’ll be very “hoppy” with this math game that helps kids learn how to count to 10 and practice addition. It’s perfect for preschoolers who are obsessed with amphibians or can be used in kindergarten, 1st grade and even 2nd grade as a an indoor recess game. | Homeschool Preschool

Math Games for Older Kids

First, a deck of cards can solve a lot of math problems. Go back to the classic with these Standard Deck Card Games from us (at Frugal Coupon Living) – lots of cool math games you can play with 52 playing cards.

You can start this Money Smarts game with younger children, but past preschool age, it’s especially important to teach them about responsible spending, saving, and giving. Grab your coins nad dollars and play this money smart game with printable math game board. | Left Brain Craft Brain

Grab your sidewalk chalk and head outside to make this engaging math game that exercises your body as well as your mind. This is easily adaptable for all ages. For toddlers, practice number recognition. Early elementary kids can practice their addition and subtraction skills. Older children can practice multiplying and dividing. | Look, We’re Learning

Play a game of leapfrog to improve addition or multiplication skills. This game is twice the fun because first, you’ll make origami frogs together before learning to make them “jump” to get to the lily pad numbers. | Teach Beside Me

Practice geometry concepts with homemade dice made out of tissue boxes and duct tape. You can make this simple for little ones (like shape identification) or more complex for older children with questions that quiz them on things like right angles. Adapt the game for children in 3rd grade to 6th grade. | Look, We’re Learning

Do your 5th grade kids have a new skill? Turn into a fun game. Fractions and decimals can be challenging for some learners, but it’s easier to grasp when you make them fun. This fractions-to-decimals game is a great way to do just that. In this printable math board game, using dice to determine the number of spaces you go, the older kids will move around the gameboard, solving problems as they go. When children are first learning this process, you can use decimal grids or even calculators in the game to help them familiarize themselves with the equivalent numbers. This equivalent fractions game is also great for 4th grade or 6th grade.| Math Geek Mama

$fractions and decimals math board game printable$

This Base Ten Math Game is helpful kids ages 2 through 8, but it’s especially useful after kindergarten when kids start learning the concept of base 10 numbers. Plus, it’s a handy way to get more use out of those pool noodles in the garage. You’ll need two colors: one color will be used for all the 10s while another color will be used for the ones (this pool noodle will need to be cut into 10 equal segments). Use them to practice numbers 1 through 100. | The Educators’ Spin On It

Work on multiplication math facts with a basketball-themed shoot and score game. You’ll match the problems to the products to help reinforce times tables. It’s definitely a lot more fun than doing multiplication worksheets. | Look, We’re Learning

Handprint Transportation Worksheets

March 7, 2023 by Ashley Langston Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Kids, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media

These Transportation Worksheets are perfect for creative fun and fine motor skills! The kids will love using their imagination and creating many fun vehicles with their hands! Let them have fun with the process and show off their skills!

Little kids LOVE all sorts of transportation vehicles. From buses to the ice cream truck, kids can spot them a mile away! These fun transportation worksheets for preschoolers are one that lets them be a part of the creative process from the beginning to the end!

These hand-print worksheets show them that art and imagination can come together in a really cool and unique way. There are great for a rainy day, or a fun way to let the kids build their artistic and creative confidence. In addition to fun handprint art, these means of transportation worksheets work on literacy skills. Help kids bring forth kinetic learning while working on writing and sounding out letters to create a vehicle word.

What are some fun ideas for using these transportation worksheets for kindergarteners?

The best part about this printable transportation pack is that you can use them however you want! The kids can start with one, and take a break, or work their way through them all!

In these cute transportation worksheets, there are modes of transportation that include tires, shifts, buckets, mega wheels, and more. Take a look at these different kinds of transportation that are included in the set.

Modes of Transportation:

Ambulance
Bulldozer
Cement Mixer
Dump Truck
Excavator
Fork Lift
Garbage Truck
Helicopter
Ice Cream Truck
Jeep
Kayak
Locomotive
Mail Truck
Newspaper Truck
Old Time Car
Police Car
Quad Bike
Race Car
Skid Steer
Taxi
Unicycle
Volkswagen
X-Country Vehicle
Yacht
Zamboni

Didn’t think we could get A to Z when it came to alphabet vehicles, did you???

I’m a huge fan of having fun options for any and all occasions! Some fun ideas to pair this with would be for a…

Sleepover Party
Classroom Activity
Birthday Party
Family Craft Night

Make sure to grab some paint, markers, and crayons for the kids so that they can decorate and color every page just like they imagine!

What are tips for using handprint worksheets?

Since not all handprints are the same, there are a few things to keep in mind. Talk to the kids and let them know that their handprints are not going to fit exactly into the handprint area, but that close enough is fine! That way, they won’t stress out about it and can move on with the rest of the activity.

You can also encourage them to think outside the box and trace their own handprints to recreate some of the transportation vehicles. This shows them that they’re capable of following directions and also using analytical thought to create something new and different, too.

While these A-Z transportation printables focus on quite a few options, it’s not a totally complete list. Have the kids use what they’ve learned and create another page about a vehicle that they haven’t done. They’ll love creative independence!

More Fun Activities for Early Learners

If you like this printable preschool transportation activity, I have more! The more that you can print out and have on hand, the more fun it will be for the kids!

Tips for Printing These Worksheets about Transportation

Make sure that once you print the worksheets, you take the time to laminate them. This is a great way to make this an activity that the kids can play with over and over again. Use markers that are erasable so that the kids can wipe the sheets clean and do these worksheets again!

Supplies

Transportation Worksheet PDF printables
Printer
Paper
Laminator (I really like the Scotch brand, but Amazon has a good one too.)
Tempera Paint (This set is best)
Paint brushes
Crayons/Markers

Instructions

Once you download the public transportation workers, it’s a simple and fun process!

First, get the worksheets. Download your Transportation Printable Worksheets

Once they’re printed, make sure that they are in alphabetical order, and start. You can leave it as easy as that, or make it more, too. The options are up to you!

Talk to the kids about the different vehicle on the page, and then have them either stamp their handprint in the handprint area or trace and color it in.

You can also paint small hands with a paintbrush and allow each child to stamp their hand on their artwork. Let the hand dry and then continue to color your transportation coloring page.

They do this for each of the printable pages and work their way through! It’s actually a catch-22 in that it’s a fun activity for kids but also a cute keepsake for grandparents or you!

FAQ Vehicle Transporation Worksheets

Can these be used for first grade too?

Yes, use for preschool all the way to emergent readers in kindergarten, first, and second grade.

Do these include lowercase letters?

No. The alphabet worksheet set uses all capital letters.

Can you use other mediums of art?

Absolutely, while tempera paint is best for creating handprint art, feel free to use playdough, dot marker paint, crayons, colored pencils, watercolors, and more. The options are endless. You can even make this a fun pom-pom activity.

Child Screen Time Tickets Printables for Kids Incentives

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

February 23, 2023 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Kids, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media

Trade in these child screen time tickets for entertainment on video games, the computer, tablets, smartphones or even watching television. These screen time coupon printables are great kid incentives, moving responsibility from the parent to the child to earn rewards and prizes!

I recently saw a meme about a mom announcing “screen time is over.” The image of this meme was depicting a grown man in a toddler fit. It gave me a good chuckle. Can you relate?

No matter the age of your child, I am sure we can all relate to temper tantrums once screen time has been declared over. In many cases, the temper tantrum is my own as screen time allows me (as a parent and at-home working mother) to get things accomplished… you can relate to this too, right?

If screen time or the end of screen time in your home is a real juggling act, we have technology tickets that might create incentives, rewards, and structure in your home.

What is the definition of Screen Time?

The screen time definition is pretty straightforward. Let’s try to definite it without using the words. Screen time is the number of minutes that one spends on an electronic device which can include a computer, television, iPhone, tablet, gaming system, or Kindle.

Is Screen Time Bad for Kids?

Yes and no. Just like chocolate and sweets, everything that is for you can either be good or bad. It must be used in moderation.

There are a few reasons individuals might express why too much screen time is bad.

Why screen time is bad…

It can affect vision
There is a rumor it makes tics worse
It can cause aggression
It can create ADHD
It creates an inability to focus

While I have listed a few reasons people do not prefer screen time, I am not going to go over the reasons screen time is bad. In fact, you can quickly do a web search and get plenty of reasons your child should not have screen time. That is up to you.

As a former teacher and mother of five, I am here to show you why screen time is actually good for kids.

Benefits of screen time include…

Learning to focus
An ability to sit still
Education Learning
Rewards

So clearly there are good and bad reasons for screen time, now let’s talk about how to do it in moderation.

Screen Time Rules

Knowing the rules of screen time can save you from the temper tantrum we mentioned above.

If screen time is a reward and certain limits are expected, it’s important to go over rules and expectations with kids. If your kids know their expectations then they know what is to come.

Family Rules for Screen Time might include…

Staying in safe online environments
Not talking with other people online
Not going to cat rooms
Setting a timer for screen time
Completing responsibilities first

Scholastic actually has a good resource of screen time rules when creating some that work for your family.

Two things that I have found helpful in my own struggle with screen time, are giving the children control and also letting the child know how much time they will have beforehand. When I share the amount of time they can play, my kids are not caught off guard when time is officially up because they began “playing” knowing they only had x number of minutes. While this has not solved all my parenting problems, holding true to time has been really helpful.

Let your kids take charge. For example, when our kids get screen time, they set up an alarm on the kid’s Alexa to go alert them when their time is up. This allows me to not keep track of time and also gives them their own responsibility to monitor their time and get off when their time is up. Before beginning their game, they say “Alexa, tell me when 30 minutes is over” …and that is what she does! Tip: You can also work on Alexa giving them a 25-minute reminder, in addition, so they know they need to wind down where they are in the game.

If you like a few of these screen time benefits, you might appreciate having printable tickets to earn screen time rewards.

Printable Screen Time Tickets

Now that we agree screen time is a thing, let’s talk about how to control the rewards with child screen time ticket printables.

Once you download your printable tickets PDF, decide how to earn screen time tickets

Ways to Earn Screen Time Tickets

Come up with fun ways for children to earn screen time rewards. You can come up with this on your own or you can allow your child to brainstorm with you.

These incentives can include…

After completion of chores
As a reward for good behavior
After reading a book
After going outdoors

What are some ideas you and your child have?

What electronics are screen time tickets good for?

These incentive tickets can be used for any gaming system or electronics including but not limited to…

Smart Phone
XBox
Kindle
IPad
Nintendo
Wii
Tablet
TV

Are you ready to get your printable screen time coupons? These reward coupons are perfect for all ages and they are quite colorful and cute making them even more exciting.

In this pack of Screen Time Tickets, we included screen time limits.

This set includes minute screen time tickets for

five minutes
ten minutes
fifteen minutes
thirty minutes
sixty minutes.

We also included a golden ticket for you to use as you see fit. Perhaps a weekend day of unlimited screen time for good behavior. You can combine tickets if your child needs one of the numbers not included in this set.

Printing Tips

A laminator is a great resource for digital downloads. It allows you to keep the product for a long time without damaging the print.

Consider printing on white cardstock printer paper to keep your kid’s screen time tickets durable and strong.

Color will vary by printer. I like to order my prints at Staples. It saves on ink and is only a few short miles from my home. I pick up the item in the store, but you can also upload them online and then have them shipped to your home.
