Travel Entertainment for Kids

Traveling with kids can be a wonderful experience, but it's often a challenge to keep them entertained during long car rides or plane flights. Parents and caregivers want their little ones to enjoy themselves on trips, but also need help making the journey a success. That's where travel entertainment for kids comes in.

Keeping Kids Happy on the Go​

Games for the Road​

One of the most effective ways to keep kids entertained while traveling is by engaging them in fun games and activities that can be played during downtime or even while on the move. Some ideas include:

  • I Spy: A classic game where one person says "I spy with my little eye something..." followed by a description, such as "something blue" or "something round".
  • 20 Questions: In this game, someone thinks of an object, and others try to guess what it is by asking yes or no questions.
  • License Plate Game: See how many different state or province license plates you can spot during your trip.

Travel-Friendly Toys​

Traveling with kids also means packing the right toys and entertainment items for the journey. Some popular travel-friendly options include:

  • Tablets or portable DVD players with their favorite movies or TV shows
  • Handheld games consoles, such as Nintendo Switch Lite or LeapFrog
  • Coloring books, crayons, and markers

Snacks and Treats​

Traveling can be hungry work! Bring a variety of snacks to keep kids satisfied during long car rides or flights. Some ideas include:

  • Fresh fruit, cheese sticks, and crackers
  • Sandwiches, wraps, or trail mix
  • Juice boxes or refillable water bottles
