Boredom Busting Travel Games For Kids That Don’t Require Equipment

We all remember how impatient we used to get as children when we would travel by car or on long train journeys. That’s why it’s important to have a selection of fun travel games for kids in your arsenal to distract your younger passengers from asking the dreaded “are we there yet?” question.

With some of our guests living hours away from our Dorset and Cornwall holiday parks, we’ve put together a list of some fun travel games to play to prevent boredom from setting in enroute.

A game where one player starts a story and the others take turns adding to it one sentence at a time.

A game where one player thinks of a person, place, or thing, and the other players take turns asking only 20 closed questions to try to guess what it is.

A game where one player names an object and the next player names another, plus the object/s that was mentioned previously. The other players take turns naming new objects along with the ones that were named already. The first player to forget an object on the list or to make a mistake is out of the game.

This game requires a tiny bit of preparation. Before you set off, Create a list of things to look for (that you’re likely to see on your way to your destination) and check them off when they’re found. Don’t forget to offer a prize to the person who finds all the items first!

A game where one player draws a shape or basic image, and the other players take turns adding to it to make it more interesting.

A game where players pick something to draw with their eyes closed and whoever draws the most convincing version gets a point/wins.
