On the Road

Having just returned from a long road trip and driving to the airport today it got me thinking of ways to pass the time. Our young guest will have a scavenger hunt checklist in the back of the car with him today to prevent him from falling asleep on the way to the airport. If we don't do that, he won't sleep tonight ! So here are 10 easy activities to try in the car :-

1) Listen to an audio book

2) Sing along to a favourite set of songs

3) Play 'I Spy'

4) Play number plate bingo, where everyone has a bingo sheet and you cross off the numbers when you see them on a number plate.

5) Listen to a podcast

6) Complete a scavenger list eg) 10 things you can see in the country, like a tractor, field of cows etc. You can find some good ones on Pinterest.

7) Organise the spare change before you head into another country.

8) Play advert bingo where everyone has a sheet of adverts to spot e.g.) with a child, with a car etc.

9) Play car make bingo with makes of car e.g.) Ford, Nissan etc.

10 ) Have a nap.

Of course none of these ideas apply to the driver, who will just be driving !!
