Car Games for the Kids

Car trips with children can be dreadful. My parents left early in the morning on purpose to that my brother and I slept most of the trip. I’ll admit, we do the same with our boys, not ashamed. But a cheap and mostly free way to keep the kiddies happy is road games. I know, most of us just put a movie on and pray you didn’t forget the charger. But there are times that not even the kids want to watch something, they would rather do something interactive instead. Mimitime came up with a list of games to keep you and the kids entertained, and you just might learn something new about each other.

Car Games

I Spy is a classic that’s easy for preschoolers to understand, and it WILL keep them entertained for a long time. The directions are simple: One person spies something and recites the line, ending in a clue. Everyone else takes turns trying to guess the mystery item.

Road Trip Bingo is another fun classic. You might need to spend a little more time and money putting this game together, or you can just buy it at a gas station. When a player spies an item on his card, he covers the picture with a penny. Just like in regular bingo, the first player to cover all the squares in a straight line wins.

The License Plate Game and  Spot the Car are two similar games. With the License Plate game, you spend the time looking for license plates from all fifty states and writing it down. There’s an easy updated printable where kids cross off the US states and Canadian provinces as they spy them. Spot the Car is the same; instead, you’re looking for different car models.

Tic Tac Toe and Connect the Dots is another easy game that can be played by the young ones, and it can cost nothing! Hangman is a good one for the older kids to play. You can find booklets that contain tons of fun activities at almost any store and they are almost always fairly inexpensive. Don't discount the games just because they aren't on an iPad.

It seems like my husband, and I play 20 Questions every day when it comes to our kids. But it’s an actual game that can be played on road trips (on purpose). Player One thinks of a person, place, or thing. Everyone else takes turns asking questions that can be answered with a simple yes or no. After each answer, the questioner gets one guess. Play continues until a player guesses correctly. I’ve never heard of or played The Preacher’s Cat before, but it sounds fun and maybe a pleasant learning experience. It’s an alphabet-based memory game for school-age kids.

A Helpful App

                                                              apple.com  A Helpful App We all want to be safe on the road, as well as others. But some of us can't help being on our phone or becoming distracted with other things while driving. Thankfully there are a few hand-free options out there, and Apple's CarPlay is one of them. Standard infotainments don't offer what CarPlay does. With CarPlay, you are applying iPhone software expertise to your driving experience, with Siri voice commands. Sending messages, playing music, asking for directions, streaming radio, or calling people hasn't been easier. All without touching your phone. It relies on Siri voice commands so you can keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel. Keep in mind, CarPlay is an app, it doesn't replace your standard entertainment system. Your c...

How Much Do You Drive on a Daily Basis?

How Much Do You Drive on a Daily Basis? We live in a society where people typically drive their vehicles for a short period and do not actually pay them off before jumping into a new one. There can be many reasons for this. This means that the total amount that they owed on the previous vehicle is tacked onto the new one so. Therefore, many people are indebted to their vehicles more than they are with their actual home loans. For these types of people, leasing a vehicle sounds like a good option because you get a new one every two years. The only issue with this is that you are only allowed a certain number of miles per year. So, for those of us who travel long distances every day back and forth to work, school or traveling, leasing is not the best option. We exceed the number of allotted miles in only a few months. The Alternative to Leasing A Vehicle So, what does someone do that travels great distances every day to be able to lease or to fit within the qualifications of a l...
