Summer!!!!
Great time to go out with your family!
As much as we love family road trips we know that they can be somewhat stressful. It is a good idea to have some road trip games in order to entertain your children when the trip seems too long. The driver will thank you and the children will be learning as they have fun!
These are out top 10 road trip ideas from Six Sisters’ Stuff blog in their posts 50 Road Trip Ideas for Kids!
1. Play Car Color Bingo– this bingo game is great for all ages!
2. Make Road Trip Behavior Clips. I love the idea of rewarding good behavior!
3. Buy some of these Window Markers and let the kids go to town on the back windows. Wipe them clean with a baby wipe.
4. Check out these Travel Tickets and Reward Tickets! Give each child enough tickets in a small baggie (one ticket for every half hour of driving). Collect a travel ticket every 30 minutes and when the tickets are all gone, you have arrived! I also love the idea of the Reward Tickets and trading them in for books, playtime on the iPad, a new toy, a snack, etc.
5. This is a fun game for mom and dad to play in the front seat while the kids are busy in the back . . . it’s a Road Trip Questionnaire. Print it off and get to know each other even better than you thought you did! You could also ask your kids these questions.
6. Make a trip notebook. Give each child a new notebook and let them draw pictures, put in stickers, take notes, tape in tickets or other paraphernalia from your trip. Add pictures you took from your camera at the end of your trip for a fun keepsake.
7. Buy a inexpensive cookie sheet and then make this Magnet Board on the Go! My kids love to play with magnets.
8. Here is a fun site with tons of printable Mad Libs for Kids. Sometimes we do these as a family and my kids love to choose the craziest words they can think of.
9. Use an empty DVD case to pack a small pad of paper and colored pencils inside. The hard case also makes the perfect writing surface!
10. Make these easy Pencil Pouch I-Spy bags before you leave. Have a small child that is too small for an I-Spy bag? Give them a special “I-Spy Mission” You can print it off here!
