Travel by car with children It can become an odyssey for them, being still, sitting and quiet throughout the journey is usually an impossible mission for parents, who, with the best intention in the world, end up opting to put a DVD and everyone happy.
Anyway, there are those who would prefer not to use the resource of the movies, although it usually takes us out of trouble on numerous occasions, especially with babies.
If you want to convert a travel with your children in a family moment, playing games before plugging them into a DVD, I'm sure you're interested in these activities that I'm going to propose.
Play with children in the car, will make you spend time faster to all, in addition to keep children's minds active while they look around and answer or ask questions.
If you have more ideas of activities to do with children, do not hesitate to share it with us by leaving a comment in the post.
Map of the region
If you make a trip through which you are going to pass through several villages, you can draw a map of the region and mark the points where the towns go so that every time you pass through one, the children mark it on the map and join them by points. You can work it further and do a search of monuments / history of the town or invent a story if you see a castle, I remember the story of a princess that never existed and my aunt and godmother told me again and again, until one day I He took to see his castle. I still think I've seen the tower from which Princess Rosalinda descended with the help of two little birds that held her by the dress ... Imagination to power!Guess what's behind the car window
In this post I prepared some printables so you can play to find the figures, numbers or colors of what is behind the car window.
Take a picture in front of the signs of each town
With a little head, there are signs that you can not approach. You will find rest areas with the signs of the names of the people.The game of the 20 questions
Preparing cards with questions to ask your children can lead to interesting family discussions. Here are some ideas.The family trivial
You can make more cards with trivial questions related to your daily experiences and family stories. You can also take the opportunity to ask questions that have to do with what they studied during the course.Games for the little ones
For children who are not yet able to participate in these activities, you can prepare a bag with toys and items that the child has forgotten. Above all, you should keep in mind not to take them all at once because they will hate them.Audio books
A good idea to distract children in the car without having to use the DVD, can be audiobooks, you just have to spend some time to download some of them and record a CD with several of them.Reading children's books out loud
Read aloud while we tell each other a story. This way we will develop the reading and speaking skills of your children. Some books that children usually like are: Harry Potter, The Chronicles of Narnia, Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, or any book by Enid Blyton rescued from our childhood shelves.With all these family activitiesI wish you a happy holiday and remember that you can also take advantage of them to do at home.
