Rainy Day Picnic Ideas that Turn into a Fun Time for Everyone

Introduction

picnicking is a great way to spend time with friends and family, but it can be hard to plan when Mother Nature has other plans. I’ve got some ideas for rainy day picnics that will help you have fun no matter what the weather does.

Plan ahead.

Planning ahead is the key to having a great time. First of all, you have to figure out what you’re going to do before it starts raining. Then, you have to make sure that everyone has what they need for the activity you’ve chosen. That way, when it starts raining, everyone will be ready and able to enjoy themselves no matter what happens.

If your picnic plans include an outdoor game like Frisbee or badminton (or any game that requires a lot of space) then it’s especially important that everyone knows how to play before they arrive at the picnic site. If your picnic involves water activities like swimming or kayaking then make sure everyone has their own flotation devices (life jackets) in case there are any emergencies while they’re playing on the water during your party!

In terms of food preparation: if your menu includes salad dressing or pasta sauce from scratch then make sure those ingredients are refrigerated beforehand so everything stays fresh until serving time arrives!

Bring a tent or awning.

A tent or awning is an investment, but if you don’t have one, it’s worth looking into. A tent can make all the difference in rainy day picnics and will make your picnic days more enjoyable. Tents are portable and easy to set up, which means that you can use them to protect yourself from the rain, wind and sun. You can also use them as spaces where you can relax or play with the kids. They can also be used as dining areas if there isn’t enough room in your picnic basket! If things get too wet outside of your tent, just kick back under there with some popcorn while everyone else plays board games inside!

But what if it’s still raining? No worries! A good quality tent comes with storage compartments that allow you to keep things dry even during a downpour! So when we say “rainy day picnic”, we really mean it—we’re talking about any kind of weather that might come along unexpectedly: cloudy skies, windy conditions (though not too strong), even snow falls…in other words any outdoor activity should be considered fair game for when these kinds of events happen but don’t worry because there will always be something fun going on inside or underneath our tents at least.”

Pack inside containers.

A rainy day picnic is perfect for packing your food in containers that can be sealed. This way, you can keep everything fresh until lunchtime. Containers should also be easy to clean, oven-safe and stackable so they’re easy to store and carry around while you play.

Use a dry sack for cell phones and other electronics

A dry sack is a waterproof bag that can be used to keep your electronics, such as cell phones and cameras, safe from water damage. They’re also commonly used by hikers and campers for their gear in case of rain.

What do you need to know about dry sacks?

Dry sacks are made of either vinyl or polyurethane laminate (PUL).
PUL dry sacks are generally more expensive than vinyl ones but have better performance characteristics like higher tensile strength and lower permeability to gases such as O2 and CO2 compared to regular polyethylene film which makes these bags ideal for protecting electronic devices like cell phones or tablets against harsh conditions such as rain or snow. If you’re looking for something more affordable then maybe a regular polyethylene film would be suitable but keep in mind that its permeability properties may not be good enough depending on what type of material it needs protection from (i.e., water).

Plan food that can be eaten in any weather.

If you’re going to picnic, you need to plan the food carefully. Picnics are often outdoors, and sometimes it’s raining. This means that some foods won’t be appropriate for picnicking. Foods that require cooking or heating up should not be brought on a picnic because it will be too difficult to start a fire or use a stove (if you have one) in the rain. Some foods require utensils and plates but can’t easily fit into bags and baskets; this includes sandwiches and muffins, among others. Other foods—such as chips and pretzels—can only stay fresh if they aren’t exposed to water at all times; so those shouldn’t go either!

Instead of bringing these types of food items, bring things like fruits & veggies (which don’t need refrigeration), nuts & seeds (which can last for several days outside), even trail mix—they’re light enough so they won’t weigh down your bag too much while also being easy enough so everyone can enjoy them no matter how wet things get on their journey there!

Wear the right outfit.

Wearing the right outfit is essential to enjoying your picnic. You don’t want to be uncomfortable or cold, so it’s important to dress appropriately.

Wear clothes that are easy to move in and comfortable
Wear clothes that dry quickly, even if they’re waterproof (because you never know when you might get caught in the rain)
Wear clothes that are easy to pack and carry around with you
Wear clothes that are easy to clean when they get dirty from food or activities like gardening or walking through tall grasses

Don’t forget the bug spray

When you go out on a picnic, you should always bring bug spray.

Mosquitoes, ticks and other insects can be a problem when picnicking in the great outdoors. The last thing you want to do is get bit by a mosquito. Not only will they bother you while you’re trying to enjoy your lunch, but they can also carry diseases that could make you sick.

So bring along some natural repellent before heading out on your picnic trip with friends!

If there are any plants nearby where mosquitoes are known to gather (such as cattails), consider bringing along citronella candles for added protection against those pesky bugs who may come into contact with them during your time outside together enjoying nature instead of being eaten alive by those nasty pests!

If you plan ahead, packing both wet and dry options, then you’ll have fun no matter what the weather is doing.

Consider how to make sure that everyone has everything they need. Make sure they have the right equipment, like rain boots or ponchos if it’s raining, but also make sure they have things like bug spray so they can stay happy despite any mosquitoes that might come along. The most important thing about picnicking is having a good time with friends and family—it’s an important part of childhood development and family bonding!

Conclusion

I hope this has given you some ideas for your next picnic. Remember that you can use any of these tips, just as long as you have a good time! I know I do when my friends and family come together under one tent and enjoy each other’s company while enjoying the beautiful weather around us. It really makes me appreciate living in California where it doesn’t get too hot or cold outside year round 🙂
