Best Kids Travel Game Ideas

Tip #11 - Bring Kids Travel Games and Activities

Uh oh, don't forget to bring a kids travel game! Everything is finally loaded into the car for your road trip or you’re securely strapped in for your flight to Mexico.

Not 10 minutes into your peaceful journey you hear, “Mommy, Daddy I’m booorrrrrrred.”

Not to fret, you only have a 4 to 6 hour flight, or, (eesh) a week long drive and all you need to do is play “I spy” until you arrive at your destination.

I’ve tried this with my daughter on a 4 hour drive, and while she very much enjoyed it, I nearly went out of my tree after the first hour.

My advice:  simple, be prepared.

While you and I will probably enjoy the travel scenery during the drive or relaxing throughout a peaceful flight, kids just aren’t made up that way to sit there for hours on end with nothing to keep them occupied.

You may get lucky while the little one grabs a nap, but don’t count on it for long journeys.
