How to Play Road Trip Bingo. Unlike our other printable bingo games, there are no calling cards – you play by finding road signs and marking them off with a pen or pencil. Each playing card has a slightly different combination of road signs so that when one person spots a sign, everyone gets to mark it off. Free printable bingo game cards are fun for the whole family! Road Trip Bingo Printables Games are one of the most entertaining ways to pass the time on a long road trip, and this fun bingo game is simple.

Looking for ways to keep the kiddos busy in the car on your road trip this summer? Here is a list of fun ways to occupy the kids (and the grownups) while you’re on vacation:

Games to Play in the Car

• Road Trip Bingo – Print out cards of things you’ll see along the way. Sign up for Love My Big Happy Family’s Newsletter and you will receive a free printable of the Road Trip Bingo game pictured below. It has four game sheets with a different arrangement of pictures each. Print out several copies of each sheet and attach each set to a clip board. Give each child a marker to mark of the itemss on their game sheet as they find them. You could also print the game sheets out on card stock, laminate them and use dry erase markers. GET YOUR FREE PRINTABLE HERE!(You will receive your printable in a second email after you confirm your email address).

• Count the Slug Bugs – We played a variation of Slug Bug when our kids were younger (since we didn’t want anyone getting hit ). We counted all the slug bugs we saw and tallied in a notebook how many we saw of each color. Everyone made a prediction of what color they thought there would be the most of. Of course there were the usual blue, red and green, but on a long trip you’ll find some unique ones as well, like hot pink or camouflage! We would call out, “Slug Bug Yellow!” etc when we saw one. The winner could be the one who makes the correct prediction as to which color will be the most common or the winner could be the one to find the most slug bugs.
• State Plates – Make a list of license plates you see and try to find as many different states as you can. Use a notebook and make a list of each state you see or you could make a list of all of the states and check them off as you find them. Another fun variation would be to tally how many license plates you come across from each state,
• Alphabet Hunt – Look for the letters of the alphabet on billboards and road signs, start with A and work through the alphabet, some will be found easily and quickly, other letters will take a while to find.
• Notebook Games – Of course the old standbys like Tic-Tac-Toe, Hang Man, Connect the Dots to Make Boxes are great ways to pass the time as well. Allyou will need is notebook and something for each person to write with.

Playing games in the car can make the time go by faster, keep everyone’s mind busy and engages and require them to take notice of their surroundings. It’s a great way to make your vacation more fun for everyone!

We are gearing up for a HUGE family car trip this summer and I'm on the look-out for some road trip activities (like this free printable License Plate Game!) to keep the kids off their phones & busy en route ;)

Since we love to travel, I'll be sharing a handful of posts over the next few months with lots of tips & ideas for family travel! We're also sharing many of our favorite travel items along with affiliate links to each so you can see if they're a good fit for your family too.

Here are a few of the ways we get ready for a trip:

The trip is going to be much longer than we thought -- 10 days through 11 states covering 2600 miles!!

I know - crazy! But we're really looking forward to it -- we believe that family travel is a great way for kids to learn all kinds of things.

It's going to be a monster of a trip with lots of overnight stops and quite a few hours in the car.

Soooo .... time to start planning on how to keep everyone busy, happy and fed ;)

How to Make a Road Trip Binder

The first thing I always tackle is putting together a binder for the trip that's chocked full of fun (& free) printable activities.

I'm telling you -- this little binder has been a huge help on our trips!

Vehicle Bingo Printable

The fact that our kids have had something to look forward to each morning when we load up the car is incentive enough for them to not drag their feet when we have to pack up. And it's been wonderful to have a way to keep them writing and reading using fun activities on our trips.

I've included links below for each of the resources we've found along with affiliate links for items that will help you put together your own road trip binder.

I have three goals when I create a car trip binder for kids, tweens or teens:

1. Include surprise activities they can do both on their own & with others in the car

2. Find fun things that will keep them off the tech for a while

3. Get the kids interested in the places we're visiting on our trip -- because that's one of the reasons we travel, right?!

First, print off a variety of travel games & activities!

Printable Road Trip Bingo Cards

I search for games they really enjoy (for example, Mad Libs are a big hit with us right now) and fun pages like coloring or design printables.

We also play the license plate game as a family every summer so that's a big one for us too!

I look for maps & activities that highlight places on our travel route, worksheets that share fun facts about the states we visit and anything that gets them writing -- like some fun travel journal pages.

Road Trip Activities & Travel Printables to do in the Car

Try these Kids' Travel Journal pages that are perfect for encouraging a little writing & recording the trip while on the road!

For some great state-by-state learning, visit Education.com and print out the State Puzzle Sheets for each state on your trip.

I like to include a Kids' Road Atlas or map with the binder too (we get ours free with our AAA membership) -- this is great for map reading skills!

Activity Idea: Have your kids highlight the route you're taking in the atlas and they can follow along as you drive.

Younger kids might enjoy driving a Hot Wheels car along the route as you travel. Older kids will be intrigued to see what interesting places you might be passing en route.

More Road Trip Activities & Games

If your kids have a cell phone or camera, print this FREE Photo Scavenger Hunt for them to complete on the trip!

Enjoy this Hotel Scavenger Hunt from Moms & Munchkins if you're spending the night on the road.

Picklebums has these cute and open-ended Road Trip Drawing Prompts.

Doodle Art Alley has a set of Summer Coloring pages that can be used individual or as a family coloring activity.

Organize the Car Games & Activities

Next, I organize all the printables into a Road Trip binder!

One thing that works well for us is to sort the pages by travel day so I know that each morning of our trip there will be new activities for our kids to do!

I separate the printables using manila folders (which is great in case we want to pull out the items for one day). Then I use a 3 Hole Punch with all the printables & manila folders and insert them into the binder. Each set is labeled with the date so it's easy to see.

I include a 3-Ring Pencil Pouch with the following items:

Free Road Trip Bingo Printable Cards

• a nice set of Colored Pencils,
• a regular pencil & pencil sharpener,
• a pen
• and an eraser.

We don't bring markers in the car (I learned why the hard way) and crayons tend to melt in the summer heat when we travel so we've found that a set of colored pencils is the way to go ;)

We also love to have these Storage Folding Lap Desks so the kids have an easy place to read/write during our trips!

I also put their summer reading logs (see all the 2019 FREE Summer Reading programs here!) in the back of the binder since we do a lot of reading & audio books in the car (grab a copy of this free Summer Reading Log to use on the trip!).

Last, I created a fun cover for the binder along with an autograph page for the back of the binder which is great to have when you're visiting a lot of family -- everyone can sign a fun note on this page.

Here's a front & back cover for the road trip binder you can download for FREE!

There you go -- step 1 in preparing for the Ultimate Summer Road Trip!
