Game 1: License Plate Game
This game is a classic for a reason - it’s fun for kids to try to spot license plates from different states as you drive. And with this free printable from Free Homeschool Deals, you can keep track of which states you’ve seen with stickers or markers. Plus, if your kids are really into geography, they can try to name the capitals of each state they see!
Game 2: Bingo
This road trip bingo game from A Day in Our Shoes is a great way to keep younger kids entertained. Simply print out the cards and have them cross off the items they see on the drive - like trees, cows, and bridges.

Game 3: I Spy
This I Spy game from Two Kids and a Coupon is perfect for kids who are just learning to read. They can use the pictures to identify common items they’ll see on the drive, like cars, signs, and animals. And because this game has multiple pages, they can play for hours without getting bored!
Game 4: Scavenger Hunt
If you want to make your road trip a real adventure, then you need to try this scavenger hunt game from Frugal Fanatic. It has a list of items for your kids to find on the drive - like a red barn, a yellow car, and a river. And if you want to make it even more challenging, you can time how long it takes your kids to complete the hunt!
Game 5: Alphabet Game
This printable from Moms and Crafters is a fun twist on the classic alphabet game. Instead of just finding letters on signs, your kids have to find things on the drive that start with each letter. So for A, they might find an airplane in the sky, and for B, they might see a bridge. Plus, because there are pictures for each letter, even young kids can play!
