Road Trip Scavenger Hunt
Family road trips can be exciting, but they can also lead to a barrage of are we there yet if you're traveling with children. Kids will be kids, but it's enough to drive you crazy at times. I don't know about your children, but anything over an hour seems to be more than my grandchildren can bear.
Wondering how I keep them occupied? Road trips are a good time to unplug and enjoy the beauty surrounding us. It's also a great way for children to observe the country side and happenings on the interstate as you're traveling. Observations can lead to questions and interesting conversations with your children. It's a great way to bond and make the trip memorable for everyone.
To make things interesting, I created a series of Travel Scavenger Hunts and word search puzzles. They love looking out the window in search of items on the paper. We come across most of them during our trips, and we have so much fun trying to find the items. If we find all of them all before we reach our destination we play games, my grandson does word search puzzles or we do another Scavenger Hunt in the series. I don't know who has the most fun me or the kids.
If you like our Scavenger Hunts please share and feel free to print for your use. Stay tuned for a list of games and other printables in my Road Trip series.
I like these because they are reasonable to find! I've purchased cards before, only to find things like a cactus plant needed to win. Cactus plant? In the midwest?
ReplyDeleteHi J. Lol, that's like finding a palm tree in my area. I created the printable for moms to use regardless of where they live. Hopefully, most of the items can be found. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteOur dear friends move/drove to Texas this weekend. I wish I had these to give the girls for the long journey although Mom and Dad said they did wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteThat is a long drive. It's hard to keep kids occupied that long. Glad to hear they arrived in Texas safely.
DeleteWhat a fun game! It would definitely cut down on "How much longer"! I'll have to print some out for my girls!
ReplyDeleteA great way to pass the time on road trips - good idea!
