When my kids were younger, car trips were often a hassle -head.
Like many parents during the holidays, I tried to find tips to keep them busy.
To relieve their boredom, I have therefore developed a few things to keep them occupied during the trip, to be tried by those who do not have a portable DVD player!
Just choose a department number (it is more difficult with the new plates!) and to search for a given time for the cars which carry it on their plate. Whoever has scored the most after the time has elapsed wins!
For the little ones, replace the department number with the color of the car . Or by a particular model, for example.
Pick up a singer your kids love, and let them sing along!
We put the CD on, we can start singing along with it and continue when the disc stops … (to be dosed moderately so as not to crack on the parents' side.)
The game master throws a word and each in turn must find a rhyming word. Change words regularly.
Hedgehog, sheep, can, brown, boy….
For portmanteau words:a word is launched by a player and the next player must find another word evoked by the previous one, either by phonetic proximity , or by association of ideas, and so on.
Example:mum, child, baby, baba, rum, Italy, pasta, massage...
You are thinking of an object and the children have to guess what it is by asking you questions to which you only answer yes or no. .
To change, practice the same game with a character (Cartoon Hero for example).
The CDs written and narrated by Marlène Jobert are only one possibility among others, it's time to reconnect with your childhood memories, and listen again with your children Pierre et le Loup , Carnival of the Animals and other classics that will charm you all.
But you can also tell your own story , and better yet, add a piece each in turn!
Now it's up to you to be creative and let your imagination run wild. Good road ! And don't hesitate to give us your own findings here in the comments.
