Camping Games To Play While The Auspit Spins Itself

Camping Games To Play While The Auspit Spins Itself

One of the best things about the Auspit is that once your food is turning over the coals, you do not need to be standing there babysitting it. It spins steadily on its own while you kick back, keep an eye on the fire, and enjoy where you are. That’s the magic of fire cooking done right. It's low effort, high reward!

So, while your roast is slow-cooking to perfection, you’ve got time to make a few memories with your crew. Whether you’re out in the bush with the family, camping with mates, or parked up by the beach, here are some easy, fun, and family-friendly camping games you can enjoy while the Auspit does its thing.

Make Time For Fun Between Fire Checks

Cooking with the Auspit is all about balance. You’re still checking on the cook here and there, adjusting the fire, basting when needed, or keeping an eye on heat, But (and it's a big but) you’re not glued to it. That gives you the freedom to be present at camp with your mates.

Let’s face it, some of the best moments happen while the food is cooking, not just when it’s served.

Here are a few ways to pass the time that don’t require gear, prep, or a heap of running around.

Classic Camping Games That Never Get Old

1. 20 Questions

A perfect sit-around-the-fire game. One person thinks of something, an object, animal, or person, and the rest of the group takes turns asking yes or no questions to figure it out. The catch? They only get 20 questions total. Great for all ages and works with any group size.

2. I Spy (With a Camping Twist)

Ideal for younger kids and keeps them entertained while dinner spins. Add a twist by limiting what you can choose to things related to the campsite, cooking setup, or nature around you.

3. Charades by Firelight

No props needed, just imagination. Act out things like animals, camping activities, or memories from the weeks gone by. Just be sure not to do it when it’s pitch black dark.

4. Story Around the Fire

Each person adds a line or two to a shared story. You can go silly, spooky, or heartfelt. It’s a fun way to bond while the meat keeps spinning behind you.

5. Camping Bingo

Before your trip, make simple bingo cards with common camping things, birds, firewood, tent pegs, mozzies, burnt marshmallows, and the beach. First to spot 10 wins. This also gives the young ones something to do beforehand while your getting ready, and something to look forward to. 

6. Flame Spotting

A calming one. Watch the fire and take turns pointing out shapes you see in the flames, like cloud-watching but warmer. Great while winding down and waiting for that final turn of the meat.

Easy Games To Play With A Drink In Hand

Some of the best games are the ones you can play while relaxing with a cold one, still keeping an ear on the crackle of the fire and an eye on the Auspit.

• Would You Rather
• Two Truths and a Lie
• Name That Song (camp playlist version)
• Camp trivia or fire cooking quiz

And of course, a classic, UNO. These games are light-hearted, fun for grown-ups, and easy to play around the fire without much moving around.

The Auspit Advantage: More Time To Be Present

When you’re cooking with a traditional BBQ, you’re constantly flipping, turning, adjusting, and watching. Yet with the Auspit, it spins itself. That means you can be off to the side playing games with the kids, telling stories with friends, or kicking the footy without ruining dinner.

It’s the kind of cooking that gives you space to relax, to laugh, and above all to make memories without stressing about the fire.
