PBSParents.org – Great tips!

Driving to Grandma’s house? Or have an exciting getaway in store? Here are some great FREE ideas courtesy of PBSParents.org to keep kids of all ages engaged during family trips!

• Have a sing-a-long! Sing your favorite tunes from Sesame Street along with other songs…
• Take turns playing games with your child. Find something inside or outside the car and have your children guess what you see by giving hints. Explore the world like Sid the Science Kid
• Invite your child to be an “alphabet detective” by finding all the letters around them. Players might find an “a” in a road sign and a “b” on a license plate and more – take a page from the Super WHY gang and have fun with the alphabet.
• Use “car time” to talk to your child about everyday activities and events, whether it’s how leaves change color in the fall or what makes a great friend. Maya and Miguel know that happiness is the greatest when it’s shared!
