There is nothing like a list at your finger tips of things that will help keep you children entertained when in a car travelling for long distances. I recently had a need to think about some of these. i know that reading a book, or colouring in do not necessarily conjure up ideas of happy stomachs so I think that simple and old fashioned are the best.
- I spy.....great for all ages. Starting with colours even developing into a number plate version of I spy
- A game of 'It'.....I guess this is like playing a game of tag but with no room to run around you use words only. The 'It' person has a phrase they must say everytime they are asked a question. Lets us say the phrase is 'smelly socks'. Now everyone in the car asks questions of the 'It' person who only can answer saying smelly socks. It truely is a barrel of fun.
- A scavenger hunt is something for all ages. Here are a few examples from the the net.
Personally anything that keeps them laughing is good for me.
