Fun Family Road Trip Activities
Summary
Transform the endless hours in the car during a road trip into mind-sharpening experiences for your children, rather than relying on DVDs.

Why let your kids zone out in front of a screen during your road trip when you can engage their minds? Dr. Katherine Wiesendanger, an education professor at Longwood University, offers creative ways to make car journeys both fun and educational.
Official Navigator
Every family road trip needs an official navigator. Assign this role to your child to improve their skills in map reading, mathematics, and geography. Dr. Wiesendanger suggests having the navigator trace your journey on a map. Every hour, they can provide updates on your location, direction, next exit, nearest town, and upcoming state.
Enhance this role by incorporating math. Ask your child to calculate total miles traveled and remaining, using the map’s scale for accuracy. The odometer can serve as a tool for verification.
A to Z
Road trips are perfect opportunities for storytelling, which can enhance verbal skills for both kids and parents. Try using "story starters" to get the creativity flowing. Begin with a simple "Once upon a time" and let each family member add to the story, taking it on imaginative and often humorous twists, creating cherished memories.
Another engaging activity is keeping a daily vacation journal. Encourage your children to jot down reflections on the day's experiences and their expectations for tomorrow. This not only helps them practice self-expression but also creates a treasured keepsake of your journey.
By incorporating these activities, you can make your next road trip an enjoyable and enriching experience for the whole family.
