Road trips are beloved by many adults, and usually loathed by many children. While adults enjoy the open road, the taste of adventure, and the smell of asphalt, children sit in the back seat with nothing to do but unintentionally annoy their parents. Take the initiative as parents, to not only remember to bring the road maps and clean the car, but to also bring things to keep your kids occupied.
Help your kids enjoy road trips as much as you do by planning activities in advance.
1. Kids love computer games, and the internet is full of free online games that you can download at no cost. Just use your favorite search engine, search for free flash games, and the results are endless. There are many categories to choose from. Your little girl will enjoy doll games, which include dress up games and makeover games. Your little guy will enjoy fast speed games, like driving games and flying games. After you download the games to your laptop, your children won't need the internet to play them.
2. Bring coloring books and colored pencils to keep your children busy. Colored pencils are a great alternative to using crayons and they won't melt if left inside your vehicle. Be sure to also bring a flat, hard work surface for them to lie on their laps. This will keep them happy for hours during traveling.
3. If your children are a little bit older, bring along kid's magazines for them to read. Many children's publications not only have stories and pictures to enjoy, but also have fun games to play, like word puzzles, riddles, memory games and more.
4. Since you are already bringing your laptop for your kids to play games on, you can also bring along a few DVDs for them to enjoy. Don't forget the headphones, so that you can enjoy your music up front, and the kids can enjoy their film in the back.
There are many ways to survive road trips with your kids. Use your imagination, and try to remember what you would like to do at their age. If you can get them to enjoy road trips as much as you do, you'll all be a happy family on the move!
Keep your children occupied by downloading free doll games and speed games before you go on your next road trip!
