Printable Road Trip Games

Well, summer is officially here and road trips are likely upon us.  If you have arrived here,  you are likely seeking printable road trip games.  Well, you have come to the right place!  With five kids, it can be difficult to keep everyone entertained and happy during a road trip.  There are some things I have learned, though, along the way that at least help with our family road trips.

We do put up a video player.  That helps, but of course we don’t do that the entire time.  I like to have some screen free time too.    You have to experience a road trip the old fashioned way.  Also, I think it is important to look at the scenery.    Why drive across the land and not enjoy the world around you?

We also play the game Are we there yet chat ring  I love these activities.  They are great for car, plane, bus, train -however you travel.  They require few supplies, or what supplies they do require, you already have.  (A few of them require the “sick bag” from the airplane – you use it for fun, of course, not to get sick!)  They come on a “key ring” -so, we actually keep this ring in our car and whenever we are out and about it, it is easy to come up with an idea or way to entertain the kids.

On the same theme, we also keep the game Let’s Chat Game in the car.  (We have one in the car and one we keep at home!)  These are great conversation starters, for the car, the dinner table, or out a restaurant.  If you could be anyone from history, who would you be?

I love to bring along a magnetic drawing board   Printable road trip games are great but, but I actually prefer having a magnetic drawing board because then you don’t have the paper floating around in the car.  Some paper is okay, of course, just not too much of it.  (I made the printable road trip games 10 pages long -just long enough -and you can write on both sides of the paper!)

Anyway, I also always make some printable road trip games.  These are great for the older kids.  They can read and write and play these printable road trip games with each other.  So, without too much ado, here is the info about these printable road trip games!

Handwriting Patch Curriculum
Teach a child handwriting AND drawing using our handwriting curriculum.

Madreen Karle is a master first grade reading teacher with over 30 years of classroom experience. She taught reading in a special needs and English as a Second Language classroom. After retiring she wrote a reading program to help others learn how to teach reading. She is a trusted educator and author of 5 books to help teach children to read and write. In addition to her books, she is a mentor for 3 websites that give reading teacher tips (Mrs. Karle’s Sight and Sound ReadingMrs. Karle’s Reading Patch, and Mrs. Karle’s Handwriting Patch). Through her teaching she learned that confidence was the key to learning to read. A child who is not confident at reading does not like to read and struggles to read. Mrs. Karle created “sunshine moments” to help teach children how to grow their confidence and learn to read.
Meeghan Karle Mousaw (Madreen’s daughter) has her Master’s in Special Education. She has 8 years experience teaching children to read online. In addition, she developed a curriculum to teach children handwriting called The Handwriting Patch. With the Handwriting Patch learning is fun because children learn to draw and learn handwriting at the same time. In 2019 The Handwriting Patch curriculum became an amazon best seller the first year it was released, helping thousands of kids learn handwriting with a unique, fun method. She is mom to 6 kids, each with differently learning abilities and struggles.
The Reading Patch was established by the creators of Mrs. Karle’s Sight and Sound Reading. Together they have been featured on the NBC media outlets and Parents Magazine online. Over the last 8 years in their online platform, Madreen and Meeghan have worked tirelessly with teachers, homeschoolers and parents looking to help children learn to read to become a trusted authority in teaching children to read and advocating early literacy skills. They often partner with other educational experts to deliver the most current information to the Reading Patch community.

    The printable road trip games are fabulous, even when not on a long road trip! One question though, and maybe I’m missing something super obvious like usual lol, but the code breaker sheets seem to be missing the letters above the emojis for the sad/mad series. Or maybe I lost a page somewhere? Please advise. Thanks and I love all of your posts! So thankful for you.

    1. Hi there,
      You are right! They would be great even when you are not on a road trip! I made them so long ago, I forgot what I included in them 🙂 That being said… I just downloaded to take a peak! LOL So page 1 of the code breaker has the letters and the emojis that correspond with them. The next sheet has the emojis with the line above…so, use the first sheet to break that code and figure out what it says. The next page with the quotation of emojis, you will use the code and just write the letters somewhere (I did not put a line b/c I think when I made it at the time, I did not want to put the quotation on 2 pages). Does that make sense? Honestly, I don’t remember what they say! LOL I will have to print and have the kids do that today. I remember what one of the sentences was, but not the rest. Also, someone wrote me today and I had to pages where you can name as many boys names. One should say “name as many girls names”. I am fixing that and re-uploading in a few minutes (so you can re-download the pack with the fix if you want). I can also have the kids crack the code and put the answers in there too, if you think that would be helpful…just let me know! I think I did not put the answer because I don’t want to ruin the surprise for any adults out there that need a road trip game 🙂

        Right that makes sense, more so than at first. But I’m still having trouble. The first smiley on page 2 I see would be the letter A, but I don’t see the next smiley on page 2 listed on page 1 under a letter. So should I just fill in the letters above the smileys I do see and figure it out from there? Then use what I get to decode page 3? I appreciate your response and would love the answers if your kiddos do them. Thanks again!!

        1. Oh my goodness! You helped me crack the code LOL. I am so embarrassed! Soooo… I had my kids try to do it and I see what your issue is. I translated the emojis using a font and the font has different emojis for upper and lower case letters! Sooo…the sheets are wrong! Re-download the packet again (just enter your email aagain) and the new one will be mailed to you! Thank you for your help in figuring this out… I had no idea the silly font had different upper case and lower case letters…and of course I spot checked the first letters (which were all upper case), so I never saw that the lower case letters made no sense! Everything is fixed now. Thank you LOL. 🙂
