Who this list is for
A living room campout is for one night of indoor family fun without leaving home. Keep exits open, avoid candles and open flames, and leave a clear walking route around the tent and sleeping area.
How to use this list
Set up the indoor pop-up tent first, leaving doors and emergency exits clear. Lay four foam floor mats down, then add one sleeping bag and pillow per person, plus the two extra blankets. Place battery-powered lanterns where they cannot be kicked over and give each person a headlamp. Set story books, the deck of cards, and travel board game in a central spot. Use snack bowls with lids and keep water bottles nearby.
Common mistakes
Do not crowd the tent or block the route to a bathroom, door, or charging station. Skip candles, open flames, and hot lights indoors. Avoid loose snacks around sleeping bags by using the lidded bowls. Keep phones at the phone charging station rather than running charging cords through the campout area.
