3 Best Tips to Travel long-distance With Kids in a Car
 
Here are three of my tried-and-true methods to keep kids of all ages engaged and happy during long and short trips.
Long Trips (Over an Hour)
1. Sing-Alongs
Music is a universal language that can turn any car ride into a fun experience. One of my favourite memories is singing along to Meatloaf's "Bat Out of Hell" with my kids. We all knew the words and had a blast belting the lyrics together. Create a family playlist with everyone’s favourite songs and have a car karaoke session. Have each family member add at least one of their favourite songs and have fun singing out the tunes. 
2. Storytelling
Another fantastic way I used to entertain my children was taking turns making up stories. One of us started with a sentence, and then each person added to the story. Storytelling not only keeps everyone entertained but also encourages creativity and imagination.
To keep current with this activity here are two storylines adapted to relate to current movies Spider-Man and If.
Spider-Man’s Mysterious Villain

Starting Sentence: “One sunny afternoon, Peter Parker found a strange device hidden in his school locker, and it started to beep loudly.”
Story Progression: Each family member adds a part to the story, such as Peter discovering the device is a tracking beacon left by a new villain in town. You can include exciting elements like Spider-Man’s encounters with this new villain, teaming up with other superheroes, or uncovering a plot that threatens New York City. The twist could involve a surprise ally or a secret from Peter’s past.

 If: The Dream World Adventure
Starting Sentence: “When Alice woke up, she found herself in a whimsical dream world where anything she imagined came to life.”
Story Progression: You can have Alice discover that she has the power to shape this dream world. Then, include imaginative elements like creating fantastic creatures, exploring magical landscapes, or solving riddles to find a way back home. 
Along the way, Alice can meet friends who help her understand essential l life lessons or confront fears that take shape in this dream realm. Again, this encourages creativity, exploration, and reflection on personal growth and self-discovery.
3. License Plate Games
The third game involves spotting different license plates. For a twist, makeup stories about the people in the cars based on their plates. This can lead to some hilarious and imaginative tales.
Here are three adaptions to the game. 
Alphabet Hunt
How to Play: Try to spot each alphabet letter in sequence within a certain time limit or before reaching a specific landmark. You can also include a rule that the person who spots the letter must use it in a sentence related to the trip, like “B is for the Big Blue car we just passed.”
License Plate Math
How to Play: Use the numbers on license plates to create math problems. For example, if a plate has the numbers 3, 7, and 5, you can add them...
