Moving with family, especially with kids involves great stress. The move can be made enjoyable for the entire family by including fun and games for the children.

Follow the suggestions for fun and games for kids:

Little Surprises

Buy some inexpensive toys before the trip. A new toy always surprises the kid, offer the toy and let the kid play during the move.

Document the Trip

Engage the child with a disposable camera to record the move. The significant incidents or places and adventures can also be recorded. The ticket stubs and other mementos can be saved in a scrapbook.

Tried and True Travel Take-a-Longs
Road-tested by pint-sized travel buffs across the country, the following travel games provide relief:
  • Travel versions of popular board games such as Connect Four, Battleship, or Checkers.
  • Travel Magnadoodle and Travel Etch-a-Sketch have received top marks from little road warriors around the country.
  • Hand-held video games or even a lap-top computer can provide hours of zap-it-up fun. Save your sanity and turn off the sound.
  • Exercise the mind with activity books filled with mazes, crosswords, and other puzzles.
  • Quiz each other with trivia cards or giggle as you work your way through a book of Mad Libs.
Rest Stop Races

The rest stops can be fun stops with a soccer ball or football play. The running games such as tag or foot race also adds great fun. Recreation places, city parks, schools, and fast-food restaurants with play grounds are great places of fun for kids.

Read Aloud & Sing Along

The family on a move can enjoy the move by reading books aloud, singing along cassette tapes, and listening to cast recordings of popular musicals and movie sound tracks.

Map Your Journey

The journey can be made more enjoyable by learning exciting places alon g the way and about the destination. During the move plan the rest stops at historical sites, museums and other interesting places. Carry a route map to trace the route of destination and a guide book to glance the interesting facts.

Scavenger Hunts

Search roadside billboards and signs for the letters of the alphabets in order. Make a list of things to find like school, gas station, church, river, horses, cows, and anything else that you see on the way between origin and destination.

Fun & Games

The move can be a fun with some popular children's card games such as Rummy, Go Fish and War and Deal Me a Hand Tray tables. Carry own set of cards; the flight attendant might not provide cards as deck compliments of the airline.

Get Plugged In

Use a portable cassette player with headphones and some books on tape to enjoy the move.
