Road trip games for kids [printable booklet]

Five printable road trip games in a single booklet: the answer to restless kids in the car. Just print the games you like and your kids will have fun while traveling, while keeping their brains active. Now that’s a win-win!

I use these all the time. We personally prefer traveling by train, and play these games with our kids, or they play with each other. 

My kids are allowed a little screen time, but I don’t want them plastered to the screen, not knowing what to do when they’re not being entertained. Road trip games to the rescue!

This little booklet of games is a great antidote to boredom. The games are strategic in nature, which means you can play them time after time. In the meanwhile, your child will develop new strategies, so he/she learns as (s)he plays! And all this time they’re happily occupied, with heir brains buzzing. You: peace and quiet during the trip.

Print these games as many as you wish – you’ll have an endless supply of games for many years to come! They also come in handy when you have to wait, in restaurants, in reception rooms, at the GP, ..
