10 Road Trip Activities for Kids

Travel

Our family loves a great road trip! Whether it’s a quick visit to the coast to visit my parents or extending out a business trip to see off-the-beaten path sights in a new city or town, we’re there for it.

My kids spend quite a bit of time traveling with me in our car. Whether it’s us visiting traveling to Charleston, SC to visit my parents or them tagging along with me to a conference or training session that’s drive-able – we enjoy jumping in the car and riding out. Now that summer is here, we are more than ready to kickstart our Summer Road Trip adventures.

The joys of a family #roadtrip! . What are your favorite road trip trip games to play? . It took us almost 7 minutes to get through one round of the alphabet game. 🤦🏽‍♀️ . . . . . . . #momblogger #momblog #familyblog #familylife #motherhood #mom #influencer #socialmediamoms #momblogger #mom #holdthemoments #mommyblogger #momblogger #momswithcameras #simplychildren #thechildrenoftheworld #candidchildhood #instamom #momsoninstagram #motherhoodthroughinstagram #our_everyday_moments #InstaBosses #PeriGirls #Kia #kiaSorento #KiaMom #Sorento #KiaFamily

The past year or so I’ve been more mindful about the amount of time they spend on electronic devices and our road trips have been declared 60% device free. I’ll be honest – there are times I want to go back on that rule. Once we spent 2 hours playing “I-Spy”. It was as thrilling as it sounds, I promise.

 

10 Road Trip Activities for Kids

Besides our road trip snacks, there are a few must-haves that we keep in our car when we travel (even for around town errands):

Travel Blankets and Pillows: No matter the season there’s a need for a blankie and a pillow to get comfortable for a quick nap or just because.

Bottled Water: Water comes in handy for so many reasons on our road trips. Hydration, empty bottles for stuck in traffic moments for the boys, the list is endless.

Change of Clothing: Once we made an impromptu stop at a park with a play fountain. The kids got soaked and thankfully we had clothing for them to change into that we didn’t have to go digging through our suitcases for.

Books, Pencils and Plain Paper: Sometimes you have to go old school 🙂

Below is a quick list of great ideas to prepare for your next road trip with your family and ensure everyone stays engaged and entertained:

Instagram post 2189634420461683687_191381910 Can you believe it’s already December 1st? My friend @yolospinks pointed out it’s the last December 1st of this decade. The last December of the 201x’s.
🥳
So how are we going to rock out these next 31 days? Usually December is low key for me. This year I’m shifting things up a bit and stretching myself.
📝
I’m participating in a few challenges to connect with others and re-energize me. (100 Perfect People, #eyecandyholidaychallenge, my own #mdgbizboost and community challenge @brandijeter gave members of the @couragetoearn MORE community... a couple of months ago #nojudgementzone y’all!)
🥅
I’ve outlined my 2020 focus already and am prepping for my annual Planning Session in 2 weeks. My goal is to have 20 people in attendance here in Columbia and 20 registered for the virtual session.
🚶🏾‍♀️
I’ve made a commitment to walk everyday in December it’s not raining. I jump on Periscope and chat while I’m doing it for accountability sake and to make the walk go by faster. I’ve got some great motivators within my Periscope community.
.
Whew! That about covers it. What about you? What are your goals and action tasks for this month? Write them out, do a quick video, create a graphic, whatever works for you. Share them and use the #MDGBizBoost hashtag so we can hold each other accountable.
.
Happy December! .

Dr. Heidi Green (@drheidigreen): "We’ve all heard it said that happiness is a choice, that everyday we have the power to choose happy.
.
I call BS. I think we have a lot of choices and in most situations we have a choice to attend to the negative or focus on the positive. More often than not, we can choose to be miserable or choose acceptance.
.
But sometimes it really isn’t a choice. Some days things are so bad, it would be inappropriate to “choose happy.” On those days, it’s best to just be sad, or angry, or scared and feel the appropriate emotions for the situation.
.
But we still have a choice. We can choose to be kind and compassionate toward ourselves in the midst of the suckage. We can choose to be patient and loving. We can choose to engage in self-care and we can choose to lean on our support system. We can make choices that ease our suffering or at least don’t make the situation worse.
.
Some days, that’s the only choice we can make. And that’s totally okay."

Love this little girl to pieces. The tween phase is giving me a glimpse into what’s to come. With prayer, patience, laughter and fun I believe we’ll be a-okay.
