Travel games for vacation

What travel games are there for kids?

Before you make your way to a toy store or comb through relevant online shops, take a step back in your memory. We were all children ourselves and perhaps found ourselves in a similar situation: How do we just drive away boredom in the back seat of the car, on the train or in the Airplane? Here are some suggestions. Or simply refreshed memories.

City-Country-River

A classic for every journey, regardless of the means of transport. All you need is pens, paper and a stable surface. Do you remember how to proceed? One of the children says the letter A out loud and then recites the alphabet in their head. After a while, another child says “stop” and thus determines the letter for which cities, countries and rivers are searched for. In addition to the playful promotion of cognitive thinking skills, reading and spelling skills are also trained. And the time flies by!

Fold origami

Did you also fold paper planes and pirate ships as a child? Then you are basically already familiar with this great activity. Besides these two examples, there are many other things that can be folded from plain paper or special origami paper. You will find a wealth of origami instructions online, such as for frogs, foxes or butterflies. A large selection for download can be found on the Page of Geolino.
The advantage for on the go is, of course, that the appropriate paper and possibly a few folding instructions can be taken with you very easily.
If you are using your own automobile When you're on the road, your kids might want to attach one or two of your artworks to the side windows? In any case, origami works of art are durable handicrafts that can also find a place in the window at home. Or they serve as small souvenirs for the next visit to relatives or friends.

Compact card games and travel board games

Whether UNO, Mau-Mau or various quiz games: There are compact card games for many interests and ages. Such card games are perfect for any trip. In addition to the great variety, they have the advantage that they do not require any accessories - one less thing to worry about for you as parents and also for the children. The search for lost small parts that can be found in other parlor games only causes frustration on both sides.
With special travel board games it's different. These are designed in such a way that game pieces or the like are held magnetically on the board. Or there is a small plastic peg attached to the figures, which is inserted into the recesses provided on the game board. Many of the well-known classics among board games are now available as travel versions. Here you will find at Thalia a whole collection of games.

books and audio books

I would not like to leave these two entertainment media unmentioned at this point. If the air is out while playing and the children want a break, books and audio books are the ideal balance. Of course, it all depends on the age of your children and their preferences. My recommendation is that you take the kids to the local library or bookstore - maybe your kids will discover a heroine there and want that character through a great adventure accompany?
I really hope that you can take some inspiration from this article. Of course, a lot also depends on the age of your children and their individual interests. So my recommendation is that you sit down with your kids before you go on holiday and talk to them about which of the ideas presented they can relate to. In any case, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a relaxing holiday and a pleasant journey!
