Spread the love

Heading out on a road trip anytime soon? Here are 10 Fun & Kid-Approved Road Trip Boredom Busters that worked for us on our Bigger Than Texas Road Trip this summer!

1. Old Shows on DVD – What a fun way to introduce your children to some TV favorites of yours. My kids loved The Brady Bunch!

2. Seek & Find Books – Hours, I mean hours were spent finding Waldo! Even the 4 year old took the time to find him!

3. Car Games – There are so many fun & unique car games to buy. We played ones that got the driver involved too, like Travel Blurt!

4. Reading Outloud – Not only are we working on our reading skills when everyone reads a chapter out loud, but we are all getting into a really great book.

5. CD Sing-a-Long – My favorite, as I pull out cds from years ago and get lost singing along with forgotten lyrics. How else are my kids going to learn The Beatles?

6. Build A Fort – My children came up with this one – I think my son needed some “space”.

7. Window Markers – Love these things! My children really enjoyed the freedom of drawing on the car windows.

8. Craft Projects – Grab some inexpensive craft projects for your children to try. My son spent a lot of time building origami.

9. Magnetic Games – Perfect for little hands, we found a few magnetic stories and games for him to play.

10. Stop for Ice Cream – When all else fails and everyone needs to get out of the car, stop for a treat!
