Traveling with toddlers can be a challenge. Toddlers get bored easily and are not content with sitting in a car seat for long periods of time. The best way to avoid a road trip meltdown is to find a way to entertain your toddlers and keep them occupied during the trip. These five games are easy to understand and fun to play. They are sure to keep your toddler busy in the car, regardless of the length of the trip. If you need to have your car inspected or tuned up before you road trip, be sure to make an appointment at a Mesa, AZ auto repair shop.
I Spy
I spy is a fun game for kids of all ages and is easy enough for toddlers to master and enjoy. One player gives hints about something they can see in the car or out the window, and the other players try to guess the object. The players take turns giving hints and guessing until someone guesses right. Whoever guessed the right answers gets to give the clues for the next round.
The Color Game
The color game is fun and educational and is a great way to teach children about colors while also entertaining them. One player or a parent picks a color and challenges the other players to find as many different objects of that color within a specified amount of time. Whoever finds the most objects of that color within the time span, gets to pick the color for the next round.
Road Trip Safari
Toddlers love animals and the road trip safari game is a fun way to pass the time and encourage your children to look out their windows and enjoy the things they can see. For this game, challenge your toddler or toddler to find any many different animals as possible. They can either call out the name of the animal or even draw a picture of each animal they find.
The Sound Game
The sound game teaches children to associate sounds with the things that make them. Each player takes turns making a sound, and the other players try to guess what makes that sound. Whoever guesses first gets to make the sound for the next round. You can make animal sounds, electronic sounds, car sounds or any other noise or sound.
