Games For Kids While Travelling in the Car

Driving anywhere with your kids can sometimes be a bit of a hassle, but it can get even harder on long road trips across the state or even across the country. You have to be prepared with ways to keep your kids calm and happy during long trips like this.

Bingo is a fantastic time killing game to play in the car. Each person kids a bingo card with markers like “Deer”, “Speed Limit 75″ and “UPS Truck”. Each time somebody spots something on a card, you mark it off. The first person to get a straight line wins that game. Some of the bingo items are hard to find which can make the game last for a while.

The letter game is another fun one everybody can play. Choose a category (like Fruits), and you start at the letter “A”. I would say Apple, then the next person has to name a fruit that starts with “B”, like banana. Then the next person has to name one that starts with “C”, like cucumber. This continues until somebody can’t think of a word, or until you get to “Z”.

Bring along pen and paper too and you can play the license plates game. The first person to spot an out of state license plate gets a point and writes it down. Whoever finds the most out of state license plates is the winner. This same game can be played with wild animals, whoever finds the most unique wild animals on your car trip wins.

Of course there are other ways to keep your kids happy, maybe bringing a portable DVD player with a bunch of their favorite movies so they will stay quiet and happy for at least a couple of hours. Or you can bring some of their favorite music CDs and you can all sing along to some music for a couple hours too.
