Travel with kids, fun things to do

Family trips are always adventures in the making. But not every moment will be full of laughter and aha moments when you travel with kids. The idea is to have a FUN experience for everyone. The good news is that there are plenty of enjoyable things to do whilst travelling. That will help keep your little ones occupied and ensure the trip becomes a memory not a trauma. Below are a few fun activities for kids to do while travelling.

 Storytelling Time

One of the most timeless activities that can be enjoyed with kids during a trip is storytelling. Children love stories, and they’re likely to remember this part of the journey. Classic tales, family stories, or even made-up adventures can keep kids interested in a long time. Storytelling sparks their imagination and can also serve as a bonding activity for the family.

To make it more interactive, kids can be encouraged to create their own stories. Perhaps about where they’re travelling or the things they expect to see. For a quieter activity, audiobooks can be brought along as well, which lets them enjoy stories independently.

Road Trip Bingo

Road trip bingo is another classic for car-bound families, keeping kids engaged and paying attention to the scenery around them. You can easily make simple bingo cards full of things you. Will come across like cows but even a great time looking for certain vehicles such as boats, trains or bridges. Each time one of the things is found, kids can circle it on their cards.

Play road trip bingo with your kids to keep them entertained. And focus while also learning a little about the environment all around. It requires hardly any preparation and gives hours of enjoyment. Bingo: as a child completes a row on their bingo card. Small prizes or treats may be doled out at this station to continue fostering positivity.

Arts and Crafts on the Go

Moderate: Keeping a small craft kit on hand really does make all the difference. (and what little one doesn’t love having even more ways to color?). A color it yourself tote is great for my grandsons. Who can now choose colors and show his design to stand out! Having them draw or create their own postcards of where they went is fun. Then maybe Mail them to a friend or family member.

Preparing a travel scrapbook: More often than not, children love to create their own pages for the journey. They may scrape a profusion of ticket stubs, little periodicals or catch glimpses with an undersized camera. This scrapbook could be the perfect keepsake reminding them of all. That they did on their trip when everything is said and done.

Scavenger Hunt

Having a scavenger hunt is yet another fun idea to entertain your children. These can be planned in advance where one has the list of items. Usually seen on this trail or at different stations along the way. Such as particular kinds of trees, animals, cars or features. Children receive a list of what to find with, effectively turning travel into one big memory game.

Scavenger Hunt — These are great for kids as they get to move around more and have them look closer at things. Once they have found all of the items, you may give them a small reward which will make it entertaining for their kids and also motivate them.

Listen—and Then Sing Along

Passing time during a journey is made much more bearable by music and most kids love a good sing along. Using a playlist of family friendly songs, children classics or their favorite tunes to keep them entertained and aided.

You can even play a game of “guess the song” where you pick completely different parts within songs and have the kids guess what it is. This kind of approach can make the kids feel part by taking turns to choose which song they will dance. There is common ground in music, and it can make the journey fonder for everyone if everybody listens to some good track together.

Educational Games and Puzzles

Various educational games and puzzles are the best way to keep kids entertained their minds as well active for travel. You can even bring some travel-sized puzzle sets, crosswords or brainteasers that are suitable for both short and long trips; plus, they keep their minds sharp. And maybe you already know that they’re into apps and tablet games with an educational bent — or if electronics are allowed, these can be a good option to add multiplicity (otherwise stick in non-electronic game mode), too.

Children’s play is recorded here, and it teaches stamps, so they learn but also has fun playing something that restricts time. For instance, you might incorporate some travel trivia about your destination—facts for the kids to learn while end route.

Sightseeing Journal

Each child can take along a small journal for write about what they see. They are able to take notes on things they see such as landmarks, write down their Favorite moments or even sketch. This way they are able to create a memory journal that later on I know will be fun for them to look back through. For younger kids you can act as a scribe or ask them questions about what they notice.

Kids can also stick little things like stamps, leaves or another souvenir toy as well inside the Journal other than writing. With a journal, children can play an active role and write down some of their favorite things from the trip which makes it even more special as they add personal touches to your journey.

I-Spy Games

Another Game that can be enjoyed during the trip — Ipsy One friend says something he or she “spies” in the distance, and the other friends have to guess what it might be. Teenagers highly enjoy this game. It is simple to play, and everyone gets involved. Passes the time, particularly when you are delayed.

What is great about “I-Spy,” you might ask? It is adaptable. You watch things in the car or on an aero plane, while waiting for someone to pee at a rest stop. Kids can pay attention to the world around them by playing this game, which is short and sweet enough that it can be started or stopped at any time.

Snack Time as an Activity

Carry a mix of snacks and make snack time an activity to keep your kids happy. Portioning out healthy snacks into small containers such as fruit slices, crackers or cheese cubes will save you from messy-do-overs AND let the kids get in on picking their own treats. Prep your Bento style snack boxes for the week to give kids a variety of options.

Here is the fun part- snack times can be turned into break time, stretching it out and making a mini-picnic alcove. Having them take a snack break in another room can make for as much of an adventure within itself and provides relief from the sitting.

Games and Crafts from different Destinations

One of the distinguishing factors that add to your trip planning is planning some activities which can be done at the location. For a trip to the beach, seashell crafts or sand art can be made. While visiting a heritage city it would be really cool to make small miniatures of our famous buildings or some light games about culture.

If kids learn about the destination they are on their way to before arriving, it builds excitement and will help them feel a more established relation where soon — this combination generally means that everyone starts with good energy. Something like small crafts or games that are about where they are going, this will build some excitement and the feeling of discovering something as you travel.
