Hands up who needs some road trip games ready for kids this summer?
Once flights, accommodation and tours are locked in, paperwork checked, and packing lists printed out; your next big questions is no doubt “how am I going to keep them entertained for hours on end in the car” – or even waiting in queues or for dinner orders to arrive?
One of our kids’ favourite car games is “Would You Rather?”
We love it as it’s just so simple! No equipment needed, not competitive, it’s simply as far as your imagination can take you! Even your littlest chatterbox can join in at their own level; there are no ‘wrong’ answers!
Now there is a myriad of questions you could ask, you’re only limited by your imagination! Here we share some favorites that have stimulated some fabulous conversations – the funnier and quirkier the better for long chats to pass the time.
This post is part of our family road trip series – pop over for plenty more advice from tackling road trips with toddlers through to the road trip essentials we never leave home without
