5 games to liven up a trip with children
For many families, the journey they must make to travel to their holiday place, whether by car, plane, train ... is tedious, especially when traveling with children. "When do we arrive? Is it a lot? I get tired ..." are some of the questions and phrases that do not stop repeating and exhaust the patience of the parents.
To make your trip much more entertaining, we offer you 5 games to liven up a trip with children. It is always good to be prepared to face a more or less long trip with the children and these games, besides making them shorter the time of displacement, they favor the learning of the verbal language.
5 ideas of games for trips with children
1. Tell stories and sing songs: nothing like music and stories so that a trip of several hours is short. New stories, familiar stories, songs that we can interpret in playback or a capella. Whatever it is so that the rhythm and joy will encourage us to live a few days in family that will be the most special.
2. Invent stories: elaborate a story by contributing each one a part of it. You can make the game more fun by choosing each one a word or a scenario that should be in the story. For example, we decided that we want the story to take place in a castle in a very distant kingdom, in a cauliflower garden and in the cradle of a baby. Participants should introduce all the scenarios in the story more or less coherently. Some creations are sure to be worth publishing!
3. Read my lips: in this game the driver can not participate. Play in turn to read the lips. Dad says a word without making a sound, only gesticulating, and the others must guess what he said. You can limit it by genres: colors, things that we find in the car, mom's hobbies ...
4. Chained words: one says one word and the other continues saying another that begins with the last syllable of the first. Duck-Tomato-Treasure-Rosemary, etc. No chance to repeat words, of course. If you want to make it even more difficult, you can enhance your memory by repeating the entire series in the same order. Let's see how many words you can remember!
5. We make groups of categories: following the game model of the famous TV contest (1,2,3 ...) say all the words you can of the same category. For example: sports, world currencies, capitals ... or more simple: colors, shapes, things I find in the market, etc. Incorporate the speed to give it more emotion.
