Traveling With The Kids Can Be A Fun Experience
Now that winter has left most of the country, it is time for camping gear to be aired
out and hiking shoes to be broken in, and traveling with kids becomes a hot topic for parents who are desperate to keep their children happy on their trip this summer. There are always the old classics like I Spy and singing songs to try to keep them occupied, but these can get old quickly and even when the children are excited to do these games at first, they probably will not want to do them for the duration of the trip. It is important that you put as much thought into the actual traveling with kids as you do other aspects of the trip, like packing and making reservations. You do not want your vacation to start off bad with a terrible trip before you even arrive at your destination. The key to successfully traveling with kids is to think of things that the children enjoy, not so much what you enjoy.
You may or may not be into the whole electronic age, but the truth of the matter is that electronics entertain. There are so many different games that traveling with kids could be easier if you bring electronics, from the cheap little virtual pets to the more expensive portable hand held gaming systems. There are even electronic versions of classic games like Sorry!, Uno! and Battleship. These are popular for trips because the games can be played without having to worry about losing cards or small pieces, and you do not have to worry about the awkwardness of holding a game board on anyones lap. There are dozens of electronic games for traveling with kids such as these.
It is a good idea to change up what you bring with you for the children, too. Do not bring one electronic item and expect that to hold them for a 6 hour car ride! You can always play traditional games like the I Spy game, where one person states, I spy something (red) and the other players have to guess what it is the person is looking at. There is also the alphabet game (many different versions, too) where you start with the letter A, claiming I went on vacation and I brought an (apple) with me. The next person continues, repeating the A word and introducing an item that begins with B (barn). The next person takes his turn, stating they went on vacation and brought with them an apple, a barn, and a cat. It keeps going with each person taking his turn until you have made it through the entire alphabet. The best thing for parents of course is that these games for traveling with kids are free.
