Printable Travel Games

Maybe old-fashioned games like connect the dots, word puzzles, mazes and tic tac toe seem obsolete to kids who grow up with game consoles and games on cell-phones, but children of around four and five years of age really enjoy such activities. Parents take advantage of such classic games to give their children an occupation during traveling. The Internet can help you a lot to select some several kinds of printable travel games to take with you, yet mention must be made that kids with carsickness should be distracted in different ways, as any effort to watch a fixed point when the car is moving will only make the sickness worse.

Printable Travel Games


There are web sites designed for the sole purpose of providing good quality printable travel games for family activities with preschoolers. Common sense tells every parent to pack some toys and activities to keep the children busy when traveling by car or flying. To support the use of printable travel games make sure you take everything necessary for their playing: make sure to take gel pens, markers and multicolored crayons. Eventually you can arrange the printable travel games into sheet protectors made of plastic and bind them together with a three ring to make a nice trip memory book.

Nice printable travel games and coloring pages are available with Crayola.com a site that provides printable activities and design patterns for all the geographical regions, thus, the kids can have fun learning about one state you are going through or another. Quizzes just like simple coloring patterns such as birds, flags and flowers get a special meaning for the child who plays with them. One parent or an elder brother may have to look after the little ones and see to their game, but this should be a funny pass time too.

Printable Travel Games


There are all sorts of printable travel games created for older children, but every parent will appreciated whether one activity or another suits the child's age or not. You can even ask the kid's opinion and see what kind of games he/she prefers so that the contentment rate during the trip be as high as possible. The travel destination is also important for the choice of the printable travel games: if you are going to the seaside, then, ocean life coloring sheets will surely raise the interest and the curiosity of the child, and the same trick is true for trips in the mountains.
