Getting ready to hit the road for a little exploration this spring/ summer? Whether your travels are going to take you near or far – we want to help you pass the time and miles. This week we have your perfect guide on games/activities to play with the family or friends or really whoever is along for the ride! A few might require a little preparation before hopping in the car so be sure you have all your supplies ready to go when you are! 

And we can’t forget to mention to stop in and have your vehicle serviced before heading out. No one wants to break down and spend precious time on the side of the road right? Right.

If you’re ready to upgrade your vehicle altogether – great, just let our team know and we’ll be happy to assist you with choosing the perfect road trip vehicle for all of life’s adventures that are going to be thrown your way! Just check out our online specials pages to save big while either getting behind the wheel of a new Nissan or when you stop in for service! We hope to see you soon! 

• Combat boredom by making your own “travel binder.” Fill it with coloring pages, word searches, bingo games, etc, that way the kids will be entertained with a handful of different activities. 

• Another way to fight boredom is technology, whether it be a learning toy, an iPad to watch movies or play games, an iPod to listen to music, or even an audible book!

• Bring lots of snacks! Kids get hungry when they get bored which can easily turn into them becoming hangry/cranky. That’s the last thing you want to deal with on a long trip, so pack a good mix of healthy snacks and a couple of their favorite treats for when they get really antsy! 

• Another fun activity is having a countdown. Kids love countdowns of any kind, so turn it into a game! Give them a time limit and an activity, remind them of how much time they have left, and watched them focus on finishing in time! This is perfect because it keeps them entertained, it lets them know how much longer till we are there, and it keeps your drive easy!

• For when all else fails to prepare a “Are we there yet bag? When you’re coming up on a near breakdown pull out the bag and tell them if they behave they get to pick a prize out of it! This will easily buy you another half hour and keep your children excited and entertained with what they might get next
