Playing games allows time to unplug and enjoy the beauty that God has surrounded us with. Additionally, road trips are a great way for children to observe the country side and what’s happenings on the interstate and highway. Observations can lead to questions and interesting conversations with the children. Kid’s road trip games can be a great way to bond. Most importantly, make the trip educational and also memorable for everyone.
For this particular road trip game, children will love looking out the window in search of items on the paper. We come across most of them during our trips. And, we have so much fun trying to find the items. If we find all of them all before we reach our destination we have other games to play. My grandson love doing word search puzzles, hidden objects or we do another Scavenger Hunt in the series. I don’t know who has the most fun me or the kids.
Here’s a few tips for the games:
- Purchase a few clip boards and pencil or pens
- Print out several copies of the games. I like to print the games on stock card. It’s heavier than regular copy paper and that makes it easier to use without tearing.
- You can also have the games laminated for a few dollars at Office Max or Staples.
If you like our Scavenger Hunts please share and feel free to print for your use. Place an X on each item that you find. Good Luck!

A great way to pass the time on road trips – good idea!
What a fun game! It would definitely cut down on "How much longer"! I'll have to print some out for my girls!
Our dear friends move/drove to Texas this weekend. I wish I had these to give the girls for the long journey although Mom and Dad said they did wonderfully.
That is a long drive. It's hard to keep kids occupied that long. Glad to hear they arrived in Texas safely.
I like these because they are reasonable to find! I've purchased cards before, only to find things like a cactus plant needed to win. Cactus plant? In the midwest?
Hi J. Lol, that's like finding a palm tree in my area. I created the printable for moms to use regardless of where they live. Hopefully, most of the items can be found. Thanks for stopping by.
