Entertaining Kids on the Road
Spring break is right around the corner, and it’s time to make those long trips seem a lot shorter and actually have fun with your kids when traveling on the road. Plan ahead with a few car activities, and making the journey can be as much fun as the destination. Here are a few ideas to get you started.
Make a Trip-Journal or Scrapbook
Give everyone a big spiral bound sketchpad and a box of crayons or markers. Each day of the trip or for each event along the way, draw a picture of what you did that day, or draw a map of where you went, and write about it. You can also paste in souvenirs.
Get a Good Songbook With All the Lyrics
It surprising how many songs you think you know, but you don't really know all the words. Have a singing marathon and learn the old classics by heart.
Give Your Kids an Allowance for the Day
Tell them that this money is for snacks, treats, souvenirs etc. Help them learn to budget their money and make good choices.
