6 Good Activities For A Long Car Ride

Family road trips are a good time to bond through a combination of conversation, games and even song.

If you are searching for activities to entertain yourself and the family, have a look at these 6 good activities for a long car ride.

1. Have a Scavenger Hunt

This activity is perfect for the kids but calls for a bit of pre-planning. You will need to hide items in the vehicle before you load the family in for travel. You can then choose to create a paper list of the items that the kids will be searching for. The first person to locate the most items wins!

2. Play ‘I Spy’

You can play your own spontaneous version of the game by looking around your vehicle or on the outside and taking note of something in a swift manner. Next, give your family some details about the item you spied and let them try to figure out what the item is. For a less spontaneous version of the game, you can always purchase a pack of the ‘I Spy Travel Card Game’ for ages 4 and up.

3. Play a Guessing Game

Guess what the other person is thinking. For instance, you will say, “I am thinking of a number from 1 to 20, guess the number.” The first person to guess correctly can receive a point. The person with the most points after a specific number of rounds will be the winner. You can use numbers, colors, characters, and so much more.

4. Have a Sing Along

Have fun belting out your best renditions of your favorite songs. You can do solo performances or group collaborations. Adults and kids can participate in this one. 

5. Watch a Family Movie

With the help of a portable DVD player, phone or tablet, crack out the Disney movies for the kids or just choose something that the entire family can enjoy watching.

6. Tell Old Stories

Spend some time reminiscing about the past. Bring back old memories as you recant stories from the past. It can be birth stories, grandma & grandpa stories, Christmas stories or even birthday stories, to name a few. Have fun remembering those past experiences that are truly unforgettable.

The activities listed are all great ways to pass the time. Have fun on your journey as you bond through love and laughter.

All the best to you.
