Hitting the road this upcoming Memorial Day weekend? Spring and summer road trips can be fun, regardless of how far you go! But, when you have little ones it can sometimes be difficult to actually enjoy the ride. It is no secret that little ones can become antsy very easily or bored which always leads to the infamous question “are we there yet?” To avoid this frustration, we have compiled some fun activities and ideas to help keep your kiddos entertained the whole time, keeping your ride smoothly and stress-free! We do suggest planning out when you’ll be doing each activity to make sure you don’t run out of activities too quickly, depending on how long your trip will be.
Mercedes-Benz Of Danbury’s Tips For Dealing With Bored Kiddos:
- Combat boredom by making your own “travel binder.” Fill it with coloring pages, word searches, bingo games, etc, that way the kids will be entertained with a handful of different activities.
- Another way to fight boredom is technology, whether it be a learning toy, an iPad to watch movies or play games, an iPod to listen to music, or even an audible book!
- Bring lots of snacks! Kids get hungry when they get bored which can easily turn into them becoming hangry/cranky. That’s the last thing you want to deal with on a long trip, so pack a good mix of healthy snacks and a couple of their favorite treats for when they get really antsy!
- Another fun activity is having a countdown. Kids love countdowns of any kind, so turn it into a game! Give them a time limit and an activity, remind them of how much time they have left, and watched them focus on finishing in time! This is perfect because it keeps them entertained, it lets them know how much longer till we are there, and it keeps your drive easy!
- For when all else fails to prepare a “Are we there yet bag? When you’re coming up on a near breakdown pull out the bag and tell them if they behave they get to pick a prize out of it! This will easily buy you another half hour and keep your children excited and entertained with what they might get next
