How to Entertain Kids in the Car
Step1
Stock your car with an entertainment box that you can store in the back seat. Load the box with crayons, markers, coloring books, paper and books. This way your child or children can help themselves to the fun.
Step2
For longer road trips, check the Internet for printable car activities like Bingo, Tic Tac Toe and Scavenger Hunt. Have an incentive for the child or children who win.
Step3
When times are desperate, rely on electronic devices. Have your child or children bring along their digital audio player or hand held video game. Or purchase a portable DVD player for the car so you can play movies.
Step4
Have a singing contest. Play songs and the radio and vote on who sings them the best.
Step5
Use this quiet time to catch up on each other’s lives. This is the perfect time to ask your child or children how school is and solve any problems or concerns they have.
