On vacation? Let the games begin! |
Seveal of the ideas I already do in some variation with my family. We play Sign Alphabet on long trips, or long ones to the kids, where you start at "A" and have to find all the letters in order. They always groan when we pass a Dairy Queen early in the game. We also play a variation of Slug Bug we call Doodle Bug where you call Doodlebug and the color and keep track of points rather than the kids beating the heck out of each other. We also will pick an animal and see who sees the most, like turkey vultures or red-tailed hawks along the interstate. Usually at a State Park or other nature area, we see who finds the first of each species, sometimes with a reward for the first amphibian.(usually only a dollar, but it really gets the kids interested in flipping logs) It did seem a bit odd that I found this article at the end of the summer, my kids went back to school yesterday, but its still some ideas to have some fun with.
