If you’re planning to take the family over the river and through the woods, make sure you plant to entertain your youngest crew members. Avoid the notorious “are we there” conversation by packing games and activities to keep your children entertained.

While going for a road trip take an account of the motion sickness as it is painful to go through a ride suffering from it. In case you have already experienced it then it is advisable to contact a physician who will be able to help you in treating this. There are certain medicines such as Dramamine that help in the treatment of motion sickness. Carrying munchies and light refreshment can be of help in treating the queasy stomachs.

You may not be able to find kid friendly food on the road. So, pack your own food to avoid relying on greasy, unhealthy fast food or sugary snacks that will make your children hyper. It's best to pack natural, healthy items like trail mix, granola bars, or fruit. Avoid packing foods that are difficult to eat or need preparation before consuming. Also, carry some extra items like silverware and napkins in your bag.

Reading is an excellent pass time provided you can ride and read without becoming ill. And reading aloud can keep the whole family entertained. So, take interesting and educative books on your trip. Books about your final destination will create interest and enhance knowledge so that you can enjoy the new place.

If you cannot ride in the car and read a book, consider taking a book on tape or CD. You will find a wide variety of audio books read by favorite authors or actors. This will also put an end to any arguments regarding differing musical tastes.

It's a good idea to purchase a small toy or game for your child if you're going on a very long trip. Consider things like traveling puzzles, activity or coloring books, or small toys your child can easily play with while in the car. Children enjoy playing with paper dolls, matchbox cars and small action figures. However, don't buy large and cumbersome toys.

Consider investing in a portable television or DVD player for your road trip. This item has dropped dramatically in price from the early days, allowing you to pick one up for under one hundred dollars. If your budget does not allow purchase, consider borrowing a portable model from a friend, neighbor, or family member. Encourage your children to pick out favorite movies or television shows for the trip. Allowing everyone their own choice of entertainment will eliminate arguing later on during the trip.

Keep the attention of your kid engrossed in one activity or the other. There are certain games that are going to be winners hand down with the kids, and one such game is the license plate bing-o. Playing games is one great way to keep everyone entertained during the trip.
