These road trip printables are great for keeping the kids occupied when travelling. I have been thinking about half term and a weekend trip that we are taking. I know that lots of kids have tablets and electronics to keep them occupied in the car, but I like to mix things up a little and the boys loved the first set of road trip travel printables, so I have created another set this time in conjunction with webuyanycar.com.
The trick with these printables is to laminate these and then give them, to the kids with a washable felt tip. Alternately slip them into a clear folder and they can write on that with a washable felt tip pen, making them usable again and again!
Road trip travel printables
Both my boys love word searches, they are super fun.
Count the cars has always been a game that the MiniMads have enjoyed and they are ultra competitive. This printable makes is easy to choose a car colour or even type of vehicle to count.
Other great games for playing in the car
I’m thinking of a country beginning with …….
I’m thinking of an animal….. with this one you get to ask the person a question, but they can only answer with yes or no!
Eat the alphabet – each person takes a tern listing what they would eat from a – z and then passes it on. The next person has to add theirs and also recite all the previous ones too!
The Alphabet Game. The alphabet has lots of possibilities for games!My boys love Star Wars ABCs Anankin, Boba Fett, Clone Wars, Droid, etc. You could also do places, foods, animals, kids’ names, etc.
Eye spy – starting with a letter of the alphabet for older children, but colours for younger kids.
Name that tune – people get three tries at naming the tune you are humming or whistling.
Opposites. The opposite of short is tall and the opposite of big is small.
Joint story. This is a great one because you can make it as long or short as you want! Start by telling just part of a story, and then have the next person tell the next part. Cut them off, and have the next person tell the next part, and so on

If you like these, then why not print off our previous travel journey printables
Car and travel games that are not on tablets and other screens are fantastic. It gets the kids looking out the window and checking out their surroundings, instead of head buried down looking at a screen. A great set of printables!
Great ideas – I have shared this on Twitter and bookmarked the page, I love non-screen entertainment!
These are fantastic and I will be printing them out – I always love word searches too – and as we have a lot of car time coming up, these will be extremely useful. Thank you.
Your CommentsI was just looking for some online, great timing and great idea, preparing for a long road trip knowing you can’t have a million things plugged into car charger all at once, tablet will stay in the bag lool
These are great for those long car or flight journeys.
These are fab – great for keeping them quiet in the back of the car 😉
Amazing printables, you have worked really hard on these, I love them. I like the Count the Vehicles one, I could do that with my son.
What some fantastic car ride games – I used to spot cars when I was younger.
These are great – thanks so much for sharing them.
What a great idea for long journeys or long boring appointments for the kids, thank you for sharing them 🙂
These are fab jen.
Will have to remember for our next trip
What a brilliant idea ! These would be useful for my reception class
These would be perfect for my boy when he’s a bit older! xx
These are so good. I will be printing some off for our travels this year x
If you have the right games, cars can actually be quite sociable places!
Isaac always loves hangman – I am printing some off as they normally end up using my poor diary
A brilliant set of printables – ideal for those long car trips especially if you want some screen free time in the car/.
We love our travel games too and they’re great for brining everyone together – great printables.
These will be so handy for our drive away at half term.
We have travel sickness issues with my lot – but count the cars would work for us – as long as I do the paperwork!
Book marking these – great idea Jen
