10 Activities To Keep Your Kids Busy On The Road

When a family is planning a long trip, deciding how to keep the kids busy is an important part of making the trip just as fun as the vacation itself. After all, the age-old “Are we there yet?” gets frustrating very quickly, and frayed tempers lead to fights, which lead to tense vacations. Keeping your kids happy and engaged will make every part of your vacation more fun. These ten activities will help you brainstorm vacation ride ideas.

10. Play On Tablets

Even if you usually keep a tight rein on your kids’ electronics use, a long road trip is a good time to relax your rules. Kids love to play games on their tablets, phones, or handhelds. Many modern cars have multiple USB ports, so keeping everyone’s devices charged is simple. If your car doesn’t have a WiFi hotspot, it’s a good idea to download fresh games and videos before you leave home, to save on data charges.
