Fun Ways to Entertaining Children in the Car

When taking a long car ride, children can become antsy and bored easily. But what are great ways to pass the time with your kids while they endure a long car ride? Here are some great suggestions.

I Spy Games

As one of the more classical car ride games, play I Spy can go on for hours on end. Choose options like yellow cars, motorcycles, or city buses and you’ll be passing time faster than you know it.

Board Games

Playing board games together has always been known as a great family activity. But on a car ride? That idea is definitely more abstract than you think. Playing board games as a family in the car is a unique idea to pass the time, even if only one person could move the game pieces.

Movies

With the current innovation of the cars in today’s world, watching movies on the go is easy. Many minivans and large capacity vans feature dvd players that broadcast CD’s for everyone’s viewing pleasure. This addition combined with the right movies could entertain kids for several hours.

Pets

Why not give kids an extra buddy in the car by bringing along your pet. With the addition of a handy pet seat cover, traveling with your pet will be a breeze. And your children will be glad their buddy is along with them for the ride.
