Would you rather.....be stuck on a road trip with rambunctious toddlers or sullen teens? -- Me
Travelling with kids is hard. And let me tell you, it doesn't get a whole lot easier when they're teenagers. We drive back and forth to Connecticut a few times a year to visit my family. It's not an easy trip (that I-95 corridor in the mid-Atlantic is brutal). And once there, there's not a whole lot of things to do. So it's kind of a boring trip all the way around as far as my boys are concerned.
Over the years we have tried different things. I posted a few years ago about a ______________ for kids. And we have used that over and over and over. I have had workbooks that I have pulled pages out of. I have downloaded appropriate worksheets from Educators.com. That keeps them occupied for a bit. They love games where the whole family is involved, so it has to be an oral game so the driver can participate too.
I've notice that the game "Would you rather....?" has become very popular recently. I see it all over Pinterest, and all different categories for different holidays and such. My boys love playing this. We've bought a card game and try to come up with our own scenarios. But Landeelu has provided a whole list of Would You Rather questions.
I love that you can just print the questions and cut them out into strips. I put them in a little jar and have left it in the car so it is ready anytime we are on the road.
Do you have any games that you and your teens like to play in the car?
From my board "Children make your life important."
