Tips to Keep Your Kids Entertained on Road Trips
Road trips with kids can be exciting, but they can also be challenging, especially if you’re trying to keep them entertained. After all, most children find it difficult to sit still for long periods of time. But with the right entertainment, you can make the time pass quickly and avoid boredom-induced meltdowns.
In this blog post, CMH Proton The Glen will share some tips on how to keep your kids entertained on road trips. We’ll also provide a list of activities and games you can bring to the trip.
Keep Drinks and Food Close at Hand
There are several ways to keep youngsters occupied on a car trip, but they will likely fail when hunger hits. We at CMH Proton the Glen can recommend you keep snacks on hand in between rest stops to minimise complaints from the rear seat because of rumbling tummies.
Explore our range of family-friendly cars
When travelling with children, it’s always a good idea to pack healthy snacks like fruit, veggies, and trail mix to avoid the sugar rush from sugary snacks. You may even make munching into an activity if you have extra time. Your children could like crafting their fruit skewers or making a necklace out of different coloured cereal.
Make the Most of the Entertainment System in Your Car
When you’re driving, your car’s music system is a great source of entertainment for the whole family. Turn up the volume and sing along to your favourite songs, or listen to a kid-friendly podcast or audiobook, such as the latest instalment of a popular children’s series.
Finally, why not engage in an audio trivia contest? Count the points, and the winner gets to pick the playlist.
Gather a Bag of Kid-friendly Treats for Travel
Keep your kids entertained on the go with a travel bag of fun activities. They’ll love exploring the bag and its contents, which provide hours of amusement. Pack pencils, stickers, and sketchbooks so they can express themselves creatively and keep a journal of their trip. Don’t forget clipboards or trays for a solid surface to work on. And if they have a travel buddy, bring wooden puzzles, brain teasers, and even a travel game for some extra fun.
Make the Vehicle Comfortable
Even though you’ve provided enough amusement for your children, you still need a comfortable space. Provide a lot of cushions and blankets so kids may cuddle up while safely seated. Everyone should feel cosy, safe and comfortable.
Keep Your Kids Entertained by Scheduling Numerous Stops
No matter how well you keep youngsters occupied while driving, they can only remain motionless for so long. We at CMH Proton the Glen recommend you schedule regular pit stops to give them time to stretch and burn off some energy. Finding rest stops where kids can learn or play makes the journey more enjoyable, as they can then illustrate or write about their experiences.
