The newest addition to our collection of printable car games is Traffic Sign Bingo. The great thing about this game is that it works on both short and long trips.
Our version contains 5 different boards so that multiple people can play at the same time. Also, the boards can be rotated periodically to change things up a bit, especially when it seems that one board is more of a winner than the others.
Each sheet shows 25 road signs that are commonly found in towns and on highways.
Have you ever traveled to a “kid-friendly” destination, only to find that the friendliest thing about it was the brochure or web site?
Well, I have a great resource for anyone planning to get away with the kids.
Whether you’re going for an overnight, a long weekend or a full-blown vacation, BestKidFriendlyTravel.com will help you make it a fun and memorable time for the whole family.
The classic strategy game, Battleship, can be played on paper and is a great way to keep older kids entertained in the car. With the paper version there is just as much fun with no tiny pieces to lose.

In case you’ve never played, or like me am a little bit rusty on the rules, here are the instructions.
1. Each player positions the 7 ships on their board by writing in the ship initials in the correct number of adjacent blocks. The ship sizes and identifying initials are shown on the game sheet.
2. After the ships have been positioned, the game proceeds in a series of rounds.
3. Each round goes as follows. Player A announces a target square in the opponent’s grid which is to be shot at.

Those of us with a “big kid” know that once a sibling or friend outgrows a booster seat, our little one feels the need to abandon it as well. The law is the law, but we know this means nothing to our children who want to fit in with their peers. As parents, we never give in when it comes to safety, no matter how “uncool” it makes us in our kids eyes. MotherProof.com ran an interesting post about the difficulty of addressing this issue, as kids really take the matter to heart. The consensus? Little ones may beg, cry, and repeatedly question our authority, but we can’t let their injured egos get in the way of their safety.
I love spending time with my kids on the road. Car trips are a great time to bond with your family, but you couldn’t pay me enough to get in the car and leave without … snacks!
Packing great snacks is not rocket science, but its easy to get into a rut. So it’s good to review the basics, which the article 5 Tips For Packing Car-Friendly Snacks does nicely.
Check out the article and then let me know your family’s favorite snacks on the road.
