Car Journey Entertainment: Our Favourite Ideas

Here are our favourite ways to pass the time on a car journey:

  1. Play travel games. In years gone by, family car journeys often consisted of a game of ‘I Spy’, and this is a classic that your kids will love. Try out some other old favourites such as ‘Twenty Questions’, or try to spell out words, or the alphabet, using the letters on the numberplates of the cars around you.
  2. Discover the Sky Kids app. When you know your children are all set for a week of physical activity, it’s easier to relax and make the most of some screen time to make your journey more enjoyable. With the Sky Kids App, you can download games and shows onto different devices, and even set up a unique profile for each child, so that you can rely on appropriate and engaging entertainment at all times, including when you are travelling and do not have access to wifi.
  3. Sing songs. A family singalong will get everyone in the mood for a great holiday, and running through all of your favourite songs will have you all laughing in no time. Take turns to choose a song for everyone to sing aloud, letting go of your inhibitions, or sing along to the CD or radio station of your choice.
  4. Plan your holiday. When you’re on your way to Trabolgan, you can take the opportunity to plan the wonderful things you will do when you arrive. You might wish to read out the list of activities and sports available so that your children can choose what they would like to try, or introduce our animal characters so that your kids know just who will be waiting to meet them.
