Road Trip Activities for Kids That Keep the Giggles Going
“Are we there yet?” Bentley and Pufff hear that one a lot in Bentley’s Adventure With a Hippopotomonsterous! Here are tried-and-true ways to keep little travelers happy for the long haul.
Car games that never get old
- I Spy: Classic for a reason. Try colors for little ones and letters for bigger kids.
- Alphabet hunt: Find every letter A to Z on signs and license plates.
- Story chain: Each person adds one sentence to a silly story.
- Would you rather: Would you rather ride a Hippopotomonsterous or a pontoon boat?
Pack a clipboard kit
A clipboard, a zip bag of crayons and a stack of printables are road trip magic. Our Pufff’s Road Trip activity pack has 17 pages, including a maze, word search, tracing and a Camp Treasure Hunt.
Bring the book
Picture books are perfect car companions, especially seek-and-find books. Kids can hunt for hidden items for miles!
Plan snack stops with a twist
Turn each stop into a mini mission: find something red, count the trucks, spot a bird.
End with a sing-along
Nothing resets cranky moods faster than everyone singing (badly) together.
Wishing you safe travels and the happiest backseat crew!
