For our family, school is out for the summer! We have many fun things planned to play, experiment with, and explore in our own neighborhood. However, we will also be spending some time on the road in route to our favorite vacation destinations. Here are some ideas we have gathered for entertaining excited young travelers.

These are some great ideas! I also shared 6 road trip literacy ideas on my blog last week from things to do at a rest stop to keeping a travel journal. You can check them all out at http://growingbookbybook.com/2012/06/04/literacy-activities-in-the-car/
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this great list!
I love the magnetic faces idea.
ReplyDeleteOne year I had a group of 8-12 year olds make their own travel games. This post has two that I really like - a mini board game and a question game meant for an airplane ride. Some of them also made games for younger children (felt boards and the like.)
