Nursery rhyme CDs are popular with parents for car journeys, but your older child may not appreciate hearing their younger sibling’s favourite CD over and over and over again (or vice versa). You’ll probably find hearing ‘5 Little Ducks Went Swimming One Day’ twenty times tests your patience too, so consider taking a storybook CD instead. Pack a rucksack with an assortment of favourite toys. Avoid anything with small parts as these may get lost down the back of the seat. For long journeys, keep some of the toys in the boot and bring them out once the kids are starting to tire of the selection. It will help keep their interest for a little longer, and if you rotate the selection of toys every time you make a stop it will also keep the back seat from disappearing under a pile of clutter. Play Games Let’s face it, even the best behaved child isn’t going to sit quietly with a colouring in book for the entire journey so look into fun games you can play with the kids while you are driving. For example ‘Who am I?’ where players have to guess which celebrity you are by asking a series of yes or no questions. Games that get your children look out of the window are good too, as shifting their focus outside the car can help prevent or ease travel sickness. Try back seat bingo, where everyone has a list of objects you might see outside – for example, a bus, a tree, a tractor – and have to look out for and mark off each of these items. The first person to cross all items off their list is the winner.
