How To Alleviate Boredom On Car Journeys
May 12, 2017If you’re used to travelling in the car with bored children, you’ll know how stressful it can be. Having a few tricks up your sleeve to alleviate the boredom and make the journey more fun can be a great relief for everyone.
Whether you’re going on a long journey or simply to the local shops, setting up a precedent of boredom in the car can make even the thought of a journey unbearable. When you implement our simple tips, however, you will find that every journey becomes more fun.
Top Tips To Prevent Boredom In The Car
- Play I Spy. It’s an oldie but a goodie, and children simply love this game. Start with colours when they’re very small and progress to items beginning with a certain letter as they get older so they can learn as they play.
- Explore music. The car is a great place to try out several different styles of music, so break out of your rut and experiment with some tracks you’ve never heard before. Take it in turns to choose a song or a genre, or try an album that’s new to you all.
- Make busy bags. When you’re anticipating a long car journey, it can be helpful to put together a bag of little toys and treats to entertain the children, so that you can produce something exciting when tempers start to fray. It might be helpful to keep this bag in the car at all times, so that it’s always on hand when you need it.
- Take snacks and drinks. Hunger and thirst can make a car journey a nightmare, but this is easy to prevent. Stock up on some tasty treats – it can help if these are different to the snacks you offer everyday – and ensure you have enough water to keep you all going even if you encounter unexpected delays.
- Talk about your destination. Seeing the journey as part of the trip can be helpful, especially if you’re visiting somewhere exciting like Trabolgan Holiday Village! We’ve got so many exciting activities to choose from, and a fantastic entertainment programme for all the family, so the children will love to plan their trip before they arrive – and once they get here, the boredom will be a distant memory!
