fun free road trip printable games

Our last road trip activities for kids post has been read more than 50,000 times! And it’s been shared more than 8,000 times.  Wow – people really liked our ideas! It was full of the ideas we came up with to survive travelling with kids on a long road trip.  I’ve got a new tool in my family travel arsenal: Road Trip Printables!

Our last real road trip was 5 years ago and as we plan our next long road trip I’m happy to reread the former one and remember the tips!  

I don’t know how I forgot some of them – I’m adding aluminum foil to my list right now. 😜

This year our kids will be older: 11 and 13.  We expect our ride to be smoother than last time – for one they’ve both got bigger bladder capacity now.   (This time I don’t expect our son to need to publicly urinate in front of state troopers .)

But this time around we are spending more total hours in the car travelling from Ontario to Calgary, Alberta and back.  Dang, Ontario is big – it’s going to take two days just to get to the border from home!

We need some new ideas to keep our family amused during these extra long hours in the car.

I decided to find a whole bunch of free printable road trip car games and make a huge folder of them to spread out over the drive.  

I plan to also bring some plastic sheet protectors and low odor dry erase markers to reuse the best games.  ‘Cause I ain’t bringing a printer on this trip with us.

It would seem like a waste to just amass such a great list for ourselves when we can share them all with you!   So here’s a list of 25+ great free road trip printables – games worth printing for your long drive ahead.

Best Road Trip Games for Young Kids: 15+ Free Printables

Need free printables to keep young kids busy on a family road trip? Me, too! Here are my favorite road trip games for kids aged three to about eight.

Best family road trip games for young kids, free printables

I’m planning a four-day cross-Canada road trip with three kids between three and seven. On my own. No tablets or DVD players. Yikes! My husband will be driving the moving van, so entertainment is solely up to me. How to stay sane?

Well, I found some GREAT free printables for family road trips online. Many are for kids older than mine, so it took some sifting. 

But, wow! There are some INCREDIBLE free road trip activities out there. Here I share my favorites with you.

Disclosure: This post includes affiliate links to excellent travel-related products. This means that if you use the links below to make a purchase, we’ll receive a commission at no extra cost to you. Thank you!

How to use these free printable road trip games for young kids:

  • Print them out and put them into a binder. This gives your child a portable desk, AND keeps everything together and tidy. 
  • Slip them into sheet protectors , where it makes sense. This is an easy and cheap way to make them reusable. 
  • Add a zippered pouch with crayons, washable markers and dry erase markers. 

And wa-la! Hours of quiet time. (Here’s to hoping!)

1. Road Trip Banner

Best road trip activities for kids, family road trips, Grey House Harbor blog

But FIRST! Pinterest is FULL of fun ideas for family road trips, and this is one of my favorites. 

A simple, visual way to “map out” your road trip for your young kids is to string it up in your car! Use string, yarn or even gold duck tape as the road, like Grey House Harbor . Include your overnight stops. Interesting landmarks you’ll see along the way. Planned stops. And then move your car along as you go.

I’m guessing my kids will still ask, “Are we there yet” a million times. But at least I have something to point to. And it’s fun for me, too!

Use my simple Road Trip Banner Printable to create your own!

2. Free COLORING MAPS Printables for Family Road Trips

Maps coloring pages, best free printables for family road trips

For simple maps young kids can color, head to Where Exactly Maps . Where Exactly Maps provides free printable map coloring sheets perfect for inspiring your little travel wanderer.

Maps include United States, Canada, Europe, United Kingdom, North East Asia, Africa and South America. Each one has two versions: simple, with only the country name, and complete with province/state names. 

While there, also check out the tectonic plates coloring sheet and labeling printable! A great road trip printable for your little geologist. Can work for both older and younger kids.

3. Road Trip COLORING PAGES for Young Kids

Best road trip games for kids, family road trip free printables, Doodle Art Alley blog

I love the coloring pages from Doodle Art Alley . They have a fantastic variety, and appropriate for various ages and skill levels. Countries and states or provinces. National parks. Transportation. Plus so many other fun ideas, like seasons, nature, animals and princesses.  

Two other great kids coloring pages for family road trips are:

  • Transportation Color By Number Printables from Captain Coloring Book. Includes a ship, plane and helicopter. These are great for preschoolers because they’re color-coded.
  • Vacation Color By Number Printables from All Kids Network. A huge variety, including beach, ice cream and transportation printables. These simple coloring pages have the color words for the legend so they’re great for early readers.

4. TRAVEL BINGO Free Printables Game for Family Road Trips

Kids travel games, best free printables for family road trips

There are a LOT of travel bingo printables out there. Most are best for USA-specific road trips, with license plates, flags, signs and fast food restaurants only found there.

Here are my two favorite travel bingo printables for kids that work for pretty much any road trip location:

  • Meander and Coast : Super cute, has a good variety of things and is mostly country-generic. The only thing is the American flag, which isn’t a big deal to me.
  • Stuffed Suitcase : A fun road trip games printables pack, including four versions of travel bingo and calling cards. Because more than one kid means you need more than one version, of course! I also love the “I Spy” game. The rest of the pack is fantastic for older kids.

Open to buying an all-in-one road trip printables bundle? Check out this one from BE Family Travel on Etsy.

5. Easy Road Trip WORD SEARCHES for Young Kids

Kids travel games, best free printables for family road trips

I’m a big fan of word searches. When I was young, my mom had search races with me and let me win sometimes! Good memories. And they’re great for early readers. So long as they’re easy. 

Here are some great easy road trip word search printables:

  • Easy Summer Word Search from Puzzles to Print. An easy, friendly word search with eight words. The longest is only six letters. 
  • Let’s Take a Trip Word Search from Word Game World. More challenging, with 20 words. Most words are short. The longest is sunglasses. 
  • Short Vowel Word Search from Teachers Pay Teachers. This word search isn’t specifically about road trips or travel, but it’ll work! It’s perfect for early readers to build confidence and have fun coloring, too.

For a small cost, you might just want to purchase this easy road trip package from Little Wiggles Design on Etsy. It’s fantastic for ages 3 to 5.

6. “I SPY” Road Trip Games for Young Kids

Best road trip games for kids, family road trip free printables, Paper Trail Design blog

A fantastic resource for “I Spy” free printables is Paper Trail Design . They’re the perfect balance of easy AND challenging for young kids. How is that possible, you ask? Well, take a look! 

The images are simple, but of various sizes. Quantities are all below 10, but together sure add up. You have plenty of fun themes to choose from, like ice cream, mermaids and Star Wars. Or classic options, like transportation, camping, road trip, animals and weather. 

Other great “I Spy” printable games for road trips include Outdoor Adventure and Summer Fun from Picklebums.

What should they pack in their suitcase, carry-on or road trip bag? Check out this Kids Vacation Packing List . 

7. “I SPY ” RACE Game Printables for Family Road Trips

Kids travel games, best free printables for family road trips

A fun and easy twist on the “I Spy” road trip game is Awesome Alphabet Road Trip I Spy Printable from Sunny Day Family. It’s cute, and it’ll take early readers a while to get to Z! 

For early readers, they can simply cross off the letter when they see it. Stronger readers and writers can write out the word or license plate combo they saw.

8. Simple Road Trip SCAVENGER HUNT Printable Games for Young Kids

Best road trip games for kids, family road trip free printables, Make and Takes blog

There are a lot of road trip scavenger hunt printables out there. Similar to travel bingo printables, I found many had USA-specific items that wouldn’t work that great for my young kids on a cross-Canada road trip.

But I DID find a couple of great generic ones! My favorite is from Make and Takes (illustrated by Juliann Law ). The items on the list can be found on any road trip. Like power lines. Birds. Bike. And the pencil-sketch style of these drawings is beautiful. I I hope they inspire my own little artists! 

Another road trip scavenger hunt printable I love is this car color search from Productive Pete . A simple concept, perfect for building confidence and working up to the tougher ones!

9. DRAWING PROMPTS Printables for Family Road Trips

Best road trip games for kids, family road trip free printables, Picklebums blog

My five and seven year olds LOVE drawing. We go through SO. MUCH. PAPER! So, these free drawing printables from Picklebums are perfect for young family road trips.

My favorite free printables for road trips include:

  • Road Trip prompts, like “what’s in the truck” and “where does the road go.” The last one is SO Mary Poppins!
  • Make a Face is a great reusable drawing prompt. Put it in a sheet protector to use with dry erase markers. I can hear the laughter!
  • Drawing Challenge Cards is excellent for early readers. Plenty of drawing prompts for hours of entertainment. You could also pull a card out whenever they get bored.

10. Road Trip DICE DRAWING Games for Young Kids

Best road trip games for kids, family road trip free printables, Embracing Motherhood blog

During online learning, my daughter’s kindergarten teacher had them play this roll-a-monster game from Embracing Motherhood. It’s been SUCH a hit in our household! I bought large dice for each of my kids. And wa-la! A perfect free printables road trip game for young kids.

  • Roll-a-butterfly from Printoteka. Because butterflies are awesome.

11. PUPPET THEATER Road Trip Activities for Young Kids

Best road trip games for kids, family road trip free printables, Highlights blog

My goodness, there are SO many super cute finger puppet printables on Pinterest! If your kids are into animals, fairies, princesses, or robots, just pick your favorites! I’ll prepare a set for my 2 year old, and let my oldest two color and cut out their own. 

Here are three of my favorite finger puppet free printables for family road trips:

  • Animal Finger Puppets from Highlights. Print in color, cut out and tape into rings. As easy as you get!
  • Farm Animal Finger Puppets from Arty Crafty Kids. Kids can color before cutting and taping into puppets.
  • Noah’s Ark Animal Finger Puppets from The Confident Journal. No taping involved, but you may want to pre-cut the finger holes. 

If you’re open to paying a small amount, you really should check out the finger puppets from Pukaka on Etsy. They’re SO cute! Family puppets. Monsters and aliens. Monkeys and circus performers. And characters from your favorite kids book.

Note: I highly recommend printing at least two copies per child. Even if you print onto cardstock, I can see these ripping pretty quickly. And then there’d be tears. SO. MANY. TEARS. Consider yourself warned!

12. GLASSES Printables for Family Road Trips

Best road trip games for kids, family road trip free printables, Picklebums blog

Check out these free printable glasses from Picklebums. I LOVE this idea for dressing up and making the family road trip extra exciting. Combine them with a crown , and you’re all set.

13. Road Trip MAZE Printables for Young Kids

Best road trip games for kids, family road trip free printables, Muse Printables blog

Mazes can be a great way for young kids to pass the time on a road trip. Choose from many different themes that your kids are interested in on Pinterest. 

Here are my favorite mazes for family road trips:

  • Vehicle mazes and country mazes from Muse Printables. This huge collection of easy mazes is perfect for family road trips.
  • Seasonal Mazes from Superstar Worksheets. Beautiful free printables to celebrate the changing of seasons.
  • Transportation mazes from Emma Pelling at Smiling Art. Elegant and unique. My seven and five year olds will love coloring them in. Plus the counting challenge, too.

14. PLAYDOUGH MATS Free Printables for Family Road Trips

Best road trip games for kids, family road trip free printables, Picklebums blog

Check out these playdough mats from Picklebums. Slide these into sheet protectors and you have perfect playdough entertainment for a family road trip. Add a pitstop challenge! Have them find leaves, flowers and pebbles to use in their creations. 

My favorite free playdough mat printables for road trips include the bugs and pirates sheets. You can also support this shop by paying a nominal amount for the city playdough mat.

15. TRAVEL KIT of Free Road Trip Games for Kids

Kids activity kit, best free printables for young kids, family road trip games

Here’s one of my favorite travel activity packs for young kids, offered free from Somewhat Simple . It has a few special gems that set it apart.

Like the Made You Laugh jokes, which my daughters will absolutely LOVE. The color Slug Bug travel game, which is simple enough for all three of my young kids to play. And the Do Not Open Until tags, which are perfect for building fun and anticipation along the way. Think: Bubbles for a playground stop and glow wands when it gets dark!

16. TRAVEL JOURNAL Free Printables for Young Kids

Best road trip games for kids, family road trip free printables, Kids Travel Books blog

Keeping a travel journal is SUCH a great habit to teach kids. On my first solo trip, my mom gave me a journal. And I’ve been keeping them and re-living my travels from them ever since!

The style of travel journal for young kids will obviously be different from older kids. Since my kids are new to writing and practicing their sounding skills, I want a travel journal with a blend of writing and drawing. 

Here are my favorite FREE road trip journals for young kids:

  • Travel Journal Printable by Dover Publishing. Simple writing prompts with images for weather and rating. 
  • My Vacation Printable by Five Marigolds. Cute and friendly style, with simple writing prompts and a drawing section.
  • Travel Journal Template by Kids Travel Books. A cute 26-page, A to Z kids travel journal with writing and drawing prompts. Some pages are best for international travel but most work for any type of trip. 

In the end, I had a specific vision for a kids travel journal to engage my early readers, and couldn’t find it. So, I built it myself. If you’re open to a small purchase, check out our Kids Travel Journal Printable for Early Readers .

For our 2 weeks Quebec road trip with our 2-year-old and 5-year-old, there will be days we have to drive for a few hours. I tried my best to time those long drives during nap times, but there will still be a significant amount of time when they will be awake in the car. That's where I have to start brainstorming how to entertain them and maintain a low-stress level for everyone.

Free Printable Travel Games for Kids

Really, the majority of printable activities can be done on a road trip, but sometimes it’s fun to grab some printables that specifically relate to your road trip or give unique activities that can only be done in the car (like license plate games).

I almost always laminate our printables for repeated use, but you can also use a page protector for a quick alternative.

Clipboards or portable lap desks are great for letting kids draw or play these games on-the-go. We love our cheap plastic lap desk – it has compartments that can store markers, craft supplies, additional notebooks or games, etc. We got ours at Walmart or Michaels, but you can also grab similar versions online .

Another awesome way to pass the time during your road trip is our Road Trip Chain hack:

Other Ideas for a Fun Car Ride

Printables aren’t the only option when you’re driving with your kids. You can also play some fun games that don’t require any preparation other than knowledge of the rules and the ability to talk.

Two Truths and a Lie

This game requires that one person tell everyone else two truths and one lie about themselves. The two truths might be: I am a girl. I wear glasses. I am from Mars. Then everyone has to guess which statements are the truth and which statement is the lie.

Play Would You Rather

The idea behind this game is that one person asks a “Would you rather… option A or option B” type question. Then the other people in the car must answer which option they would prefer. It’s a fun way to get a conversation going as people debate the merits of one option over another.

Here are some fabulous would you rather questions for teens to get you started.

In Conclusion

While you may be spending hours traveling around the country in a car this summer, there’s no reason for your kids to be playing on electronic devices the entire time. Create a travel binder for each child filled with some fun printable games for your children and family to play in the car.

free printable road trip games for kids including license plate

Family road trips can be long and boring but with a little planning ahead, you can have a fun selection of printable road trip games that will keep your kids (including preschoolers, tweens, even teens) occupied for hours.

Today I’ll show you how to easily make a DIY travel binder (no craftiness required) that’s a perfect way to store and use printable road trip games for kids.

Your whole family will thank you for this fun activity!

Best of all, you don’t have to be crafty or DIY-included to make this homemade travel binder; it’s really easy to make and the supplies are simple too.

We’ve had some great trips in the past, and honestly some downright terrible ones, so I have a few tricks up my sleeve.

Road Trip Activity Binder

For our most recent trip, I came up with this road trip activity binder. I made one for each of my children. It’s simple and filled with fun games to play on a road trip that worked well to keep them busy…and off their tablets and phones!

The best part of this DIY kids travel binder is you can add whatever activities you like and easily personalize it for each child. Plus can reuse it again and again for future road trips!

Another nice feature is it includes an attached dry erase marker and holder so your kids won’t lose their markers in the dark crevices of your car!

Y ou’ll find a huge list of printable road trip games and activities from more awesome bloggers and sites below.

printed restaurant ispy game in binder

  • 1/2″ binder with a clear pocket in the front (I found 6 at BJ’s for $8)
  • heavyweight sheet protectors
  • 1 dry erase marker per travel binder *dark colors work best
  • craft cord (I used a shoelace-type craft cord at Walmart that works great)

road trip printables for preschoolers

  • decorative mini duct tape
  • optional – map of the route you’re traveling through Google Maps or other software (see more below)
  • free printable travel activities

Supplies for creating DIY kids travel binder including binder, scissors, tape, glue gun, string and dry erase markers.

How to Make a Kids’ Travel Binder:

You can download the free printable cover for your child’s travel binder by clicking here .

Write your child’s name at the top.

Insert this cover into the front of the binder.

Now make the simple holder for your child’s marker.

Cut off a 2-3 inch section of the decorated duct tape. Cut a small 3/4-1″ section of tape and add to the middle of the long piece’s sticky side.

Road trip kit supplies; scissors, tape and binder.

Do this again for a second piece.

Using the dry erase marker as a guide, attach the tape to the middle top of your child’s travel kit binder.

Add two pieces of tape to the sides – this adds extra strength to the marker holder.

Now, cut off about 2.5 feet of craft cord (you’ll need enough cord to comfortably reach around any pages in the travel kit binder.)

Tie one piece to the top of the dry erase marker. Hot glue this in place.

Tape the other end of craft cord to the marker holder.

And you’re done with the attached marker and holder for your travel kit!

Map Activity Road Trip Printable

The free printable map activity is my favorite part of this kids’ travel binder. It’s perfect for elementary-aged kids on up because they can follow along as you travel.

It’s a great way to teach kids how to read maps in this age of GPS too! Plus you’ll hear less “Are we there yet?” with this simple addition!

I did include these map printables in my younger children’s binders (Josh, age 6 and Luke, age 4) simply because they like to follow their older siblings and I knew they would still enjoy it.

Map activity printable for kids

Kids can trace the route with the attached dry erase marker and they’ll love seeing the progress you’re making.

I recommend going a step farther and plan out your route including stops so your kids can see exactly how far between stops.

Go to Google Maps or some other map program. Map out your route and stops.

Then save and print out pages, depending on how long your trip.

Our trip has 5 pages for each way – 5 for traveling to Grandma and Grandpa’s house and 5 for traveling home. I uploaded each page to the free Paint program and added stars to mark where our stops with a big star for our destination.

This simple road trip binder printable alone will make your trip easier !

Last, but not least, print out activities for each of your children, depending on their ages.

Including Bingo…

This is a great way to keep the kids entertained in the car. I remember how bored I always got on road trips growing up.

June 21, 2015 at 10:26 am

Such a great idea. We used to buy coloring books for trips, but I like your idea better because it is personalized for the route!

June 21, 2015 at 3:58 pm

I love this idea! We’ve started a no tech in the car rule with our grandkids. It had gotten to the point where they fought over an iPad during the less than 10 minute drive from our house to theirs. I think a version of your travel binder will be fabulous even on our short everyday car rides!

Using the map for the route you’re taking is a great idea! I’ve never seen anyone do that before.

Andrew says

Great idea! I have to admit, I still like to play the scavenger hunt game while on road trips! 🙂

Glenda Cates says

June 28, 2015 at 8:47 am

I love this and would not only be using it for travel but for local trips as well. As it would keep kids entertained no matter where you are going. Plus if you end up somewhere and have to wait for any amount of time they could bring it in with them to work on. So I would like to thank you for taking the time to share it with us.

Erika Bragdon says

June 28, 2015 at 12:10 pm

Great idea, Glenda! Thanks!

Nichole Moreland says

July 10, 2015 at 1:03 pm

Can you please elaborate more on how you printed the map? I am trying to put a binder together for our family vacation and I cant figure out how to get as nice of a map as you have! Thanks

July 10, 2015 at 2:54 pm

Hi Nichole, I used Google Maps to plan out our road trip route. There’s not a built-in way to print out whole map segments, so I saved a screen shot of each segment. (The number of screen shots would depend on how long your trip and how detailed you want the map to be.) Then I opened a new custom “design” in PicMonkey (sized 2550×3300 pixels – the size of regular paper), uploaded the map screen shot, and added text and graphics (a star for stops, along with the town/city, etc.)

Hope that helps! Good luck on your trip! 🙂

Hi Erika! I am a travel agent and have a blog. I linked back to your site for an entry I was doing about travel binders. I included your site as one to check out for tips and forms. I hope that’s ok!

July 6, 2019 at 2:34 pm

This is awesome! I will definitely be making a binder for each of my kids. We have a 12 hr road trip next week. Thanks for the list of great printables also.

We are from NH now living in SC. About to make the summer trip back to NH for a few weeks. Thank you for the tips! My 9 yr old is going to love the binder idea!!!

Hope you all enjoy it and have a safe trip! 🙂

Thank you for putting the Road trip binder and links together. I’m not sure when you originally made the post but you may want to go back over the links, several of them didn’t work or link to anything or for I heart organizing there was no license plate game. I just wanted to let you know.

November 18, 2020 at 12:01 pm

Yes, it’s been a few years and we do need to update it. Thanks for letting me know.

Printable Roads for Kids – Free Road Trip Printable

Looking for some fun printable roads for kids? These little roads and printable train tracks are the perfect road trip printable for packing in your diaper bag for a quiet activity on the go!

Free Printable Roads for kids - Perfect for Restaurants and church - road trip printable ideas

If you have a child who loves cars or trains, they are going to love these free printable roads!

*** Disclaimer: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases, at no additional cost to you. Thanks for supporting this blog!***

This past Christmas, my son was given a really fun gift. My mom gave him a tiny pocket size road set by Driven. It was totally adorable and it engaged him for hours at a time.

It quickly became the go-to quiet time activity for my son while our younger girls were napping. He would sit and build, and drive his tiny cars and Mini Thomas trains on the tiny roads for a really long time.

I was excited pack his tiny road set in our diaper bag for when we needed a quiet church activity.

However, we quickly found that the tiny roads needed a hard surface to be put together. It wouldn’t work on a church seat.

In addition, the sheer number of pieces kept me from packing it to go to restaurants.

I’m all about packing a few items, but much akin to a Lego set, these roadways had lots of pieces to engage children.

I knew we would be losing pieces every where we went if we brought it along. It had to stay home.

So, I set out to create our own set of transport friendly Road Trip Printable.

Making a Road Template Printable

It wasn’t exactly easy.

All of the programs that I use to create printables didn’t have the right tools to make the perfect road. Plus, I don’t have a degree in graphic design, just a love of creating.

I hit a wall with the project and had to stop several times because of my perfectionism.

However, I realized, my kids would rather have lots of imperfect roads, than a bunch of saved unfinished documents on my computer.

So, I completed the project and printed out some copies for my kids.

They had a blast! We will definitely be bringing these road trip printables along the next time we need a quiet activity when we are out and about!

Free Printable - Roads for Toy Cars - the race track

The Race Track – Printable road track

There are several versions of printable roads available for you to download. First up, is the race track. Perfect for those little race cars!

We like to use these adorable Disney Pixar Cars Mini Racers . My son also has the adorable Mack truck he likes to load them into.

I wouldn’t recommend these small cars for children who still put things in their mouths, but they are perfect for these mini printable roads!

Free Printable Roads for Kids

The Tiny Town Roadway

The next printable roads template is a tiny town. The roads curve around the page allowing maximum driving space. I would recommend using the Disney Pixar Cars Mini Racers toy cars for this road as well!

You could use other tiny toy cars as well, such as the ones in the Paw Patrol My Busy Book .

Printable Train Tracks

Lastly, there is a free train track printable, for those train loving kids!

Each of my kids have went through a train obsession, so if you’ve got a miniature conductor in the family, this will fit the bill!

This printable train track is perfect for little ones to drive their trains to keep busy on a road trip or just on the go!

My son LOVES his Mini Thomas trains . This free printable train track is made to go with the Thomas mini trains .

If you are the creative type, feel free to print several copies of these roads and cut out curves and straight pieces of track to let your child build their own tracks!

You can print out your free printable roads by visiting my Resource Library. I would recommend printing on cardstock so that they last longer, but it’s not necessary!

Free Printable Train Tracks

Another way to increase durability is to place the printed roads inside a one of these plastic pocket sleeves . (Which I recommend for using with playdough mats and dry erase tracing as well!)

Or, you could laminate them to increase longevity. (This is the laminator I have!)

I hope your child has a blast playing with these free printable roads for toy cars and trains!

May your outings be a little easier!

Road Trip Preschool Pack – NO PREP!

By thisreadingmama Leave a Comment

If you’re going on a road trip with a preschooler, you’ll want to print and bring activities from our  Road Trip Preschool Pack. 

Find more Preschool Packs  or check out more  Car Games & Activities .

NO PREP Road Trip Preschool Pack - This Reading Mama

*Grab the free download at the END of this post. Look for the teal download button!

NO PREP Road Trip Preschool Pack

The skills you’ll find in this pack are similar to the skills in all our other Preschool Packs .

BUT the activities have been changed a bit so the activities are NO PREP* …because no one wants their preschooler throwing a die or losing little pieces in the car. Yep! Just print them off and your preschooler is ready to us them! Most of the activities also come in blackline!

What’s Included?

  • Road Trip Binder Cover {see below under “Get it Ready”}
  • 123 Find {for numbers 0-6 and 0-9}
  • Count & Color Pages {1-10}
  • Color the Pattern Page for ABAB, AABB, & ABC – finish the pages by coloring in the pattern
  • Car Colors Early Emergent Reader* {color words}
  • ABC Find {for uppercase and lowercase}
  • Color it Crazy – fun coloring pages using color words and road trip images
  • Car Color BINGO Boards
  • Rhyming Roads – find the rhyming pictures on the roads
  • Road Trip Tracing Pages {3 levels}

*The early emergent reader comes in two versions: 1- a one-page print and read version and 2- a book version, which you DO need to cut and staple to create a book. If you’re looking for no prep all the way, print off the one-page reader.

Get it Ready

Please note: I am a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for me to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.

Like I’ve said, there’s no need to cut anything out before your preschooler does any of these pages {unless you want to use the book version of the early emergent reader.}

road trip preschool pack binder cover

I recommend slipping the pages into plastic dry erase pockets or even creating a Road Trip Binder  {like you see above}. Just slip the pages you want to use into plastic sleeve protectors and put them inside your 3-ring binder. With this set-up, little ones can use them over and over again.

Links to help you set up your binder:

  • 3-ring binder
  • plastic sleeve protectors
  • washable dry erase markers
  • washable dry erase crayons

If you have older kids, you’ll love our NO PREP Road Trip Games Pack ! {Keep scrolling for the free preschool pack.}

Road Trip Activities for Kids Ages 2-8

We are planning a very long drive this week.  We’re hitting the road before sunup and driving until way past bedtime.  As a survival strategy I’ve prepared a giant set of road trip activities for kids.

In just a short while our family is going to be taking a road trip.

A very loooong road trip.

As in, start driving at 3 AM and reach our destination after 10 PM.   With five kids ages 7 and under.

And no, we don’t have a DVD player in our van.

This may sound a little crazy, but seriously?  Putting all seven of us in a hotel room with a baby still waking up every two hours sounds a whole lot crazier.  So I’ve been working at a creating and collecting a variety of activities to keep my crew busy for our big adventure.

Huge collection of car games and road trip ideas for kids

I have seen some amazing DIY lapboards on Pinterest.  But I don’t sew beyond buttons.  I don’t do well with wood, foam, or stretching fabric.  I don’t even cut a straight line.  So this is my version of a DIY lap board.

Find a cheap magnetic baking tray (tip – they’re not all magnetic; check first).  This 9 x 13 tray cost 99 cents.   Then get some markers or crayons and hot glue magnet strips to them (even adhesive strips can use that extra glue).

Anything to keep my toddler from dropping a marker every five seconds.

The sketchpad was from the dollar bin at Target.

Books on CD

Huge collection of car games and road trip ideas for kids

Our number one activity on long car rides is reading.  Thankfully, my Seven and Five can read on their own. But my Four in particular does not have patience for long trips, and he’s not ready to read independently.  I’ll read aloud periodically, but it’s not something I want to do for ten hours!  That’s where books on CD come in.  I borrow them from the library, store them in my CD holder , and reserve multiple copies of each book so each of the big kids can follow along.

I also referred to my Best Picture Books for Kids Pinterest board and found a huge stack of new-to-us books to take along.  (The hard part has been keeping my kids from reading them before the big trip!

Road Trip Printables

Huge collection of car games and road trip ideas for kids

I searched high and low for free road trip printables. These were the best I could find because not only are they from talented bloggers,  they’re also easy to download and print.

The beautiful road trip drawing prompts (empty road and truck) are from Picklebums.

The lovely hand-drawn BINGO games are from Housing a Forest.

The simple and colorful Road Trip BINGO is from This Reading Mama.

For children who can read, Interstate BINGO is another fun printable from This Reading Mama.  My Five and Seven will enjoy this one.

The Car Scavenger Hunt is from a giant set of road trip printables from 123Homeschool4Me.

Sticker Scenes

Huge collection of car games and road trip ideas for kids

This reusable sticker pad from Melissa and Dog is totally awesome as is.  But I wanted to find a way to make it work in the car. The scenes are too large for laps, and definitely for our little trays.  So I decided to cut each scene in half and cut the stickers into sections.  Then each child can have part of a scene and a set of stickers to play with.  The scenes won’t be as striking as they would be with the full sheets, but you can’ t be choosy when you’ve got seven people jammed into a seven-passenger van.

Conversation Cards

Huge collection of car games and road trip ideas for kids

These are 100 conversation starters in the form of “would you rather” questions. I love these!  Would you rather have a pet chicken or a pet elephant? Would you rather lounge  in a pool of marshmallows or M & M’s?  Learn more and get your free printable cards (or simply a list of questions) in this post .

Drawing Prompts

Huge collection of car games and road trip ideas for kids

This Complete the Picture drawing pad from Melissa and Doug  is brilliant.  It’s definitely too advanced for my Two and probably my Four. But I think it’s something my older two kids, ages five and seven, will really enjoy.  I had to trim the pages to fit them into the small baking sheets.

Beginning Sounds Coloring Pages

Huge collection of car games and road trip ideas for kids

I don’t do a lot of worksheets with my preschool boys, but a car trip is the perfect time to pull some out.  I created this set of 26 coloring pages.  They simply need to color the pictures on each letter that begin with that letter.  You can get the free printable in this post .

Magnetic Matching Activities

Huge collection of car games and road trip ideas for kids

I created these simple matching activities for my Two.  He loves this sort of thing, and it will give him something to do when he’s starting to get antsy.  Since there are magnets on the back of each piece to keep him from spilling them, I’m hoping that this will be easy and fun. This does take some time to assemble, but I think it will be worth it.  See the tutorial and get the free printables in this post.

Color by Number Addition Pages

Huge collection of car games and road trip ideas for kids

My Seven asked for color by number pages.  I wanted to create something that would challenge her as well as give her something she enjoys, so I put addition facts on these fairy tale characters.  You can get the set of ten free pages by visiting this post .

Magnetic Pattern Block Activities

Huge collection of car games and road trip ideas for kids

We already have pattern blocks, but for this trip I bought a magnetic set of blocks  so the kids can use them on their baking sheets.  I found the large pattern block activities at PreKinders.  I printed a transportation , snowflake , and animals set.  The kids can each set a paper on their board and cover it with the magnetic blocks.  I also printed the small set of designs from Kelly’s Kindergarten and bound them with a ring . (You will need to shrink her designs before printing them if you want them small.)  My older kids can recreate these pictures on their boards.

Snacks, Snacks… and More Snacks

Huge collection of car games and road trip ideas for kids

And what would a long car ride be without snacks?  We don’t usually have prepackaged snacks at our house, but I’m making this trip an exception.  I’m packing mini chocolate chip cookies , honey graham sticks , crispy cheddar crackers , granola bars ,  and bunny snacks .  I’m also packing some dry cereal (a rare treat – our kids have plain yogurt with just a sprinkle of cereal for breakfast), string cheese, snap peas, and baby carrots.  Plus a brand new water jug  filled with ice water.

We’re ready for our trip!

After I pack the suitcases, of course…

Thank you so much for your great roundup of ideas! We are traveling in Canada through Ontario and Quebec, to see sights in New Brunswick and P.E.I. I’m looking forward to using your ideas on our trip! Blessings! 🙂

You’re welcome!

Just stumbled on this site and am delighted. I’d like to offer an alternative idea for your travel activity tray which offers built in storage. 1) Buy a roasting tin and a baking sheet that fits on the top of the roasting tin. 2) Attach magnetic strips around the top of the roasting tin, and on the bottom of the baking sheet. The sheet needs to exactly cover the roasting tin. 3) Place either a magnetic sheet, or magnetic strips on inside base of roasting tin. 4) Magnetic sheet to fit base of baking sheet (if big enough you can ignore stage 2) You can now add magnetic strips to crayons, organza bags from Poundland/Dollar store, toys. These things can be safely stored in roasting tin. The combined roasting tin/baking sheet are now a storage/lap tray. Little items can be stored in the organza bags or magnetized to stay in the storage area or to be used on the tray. You could also spray paint the roasting tin/baking sheet, drill small holes at one end and using whatever you choose can be hung from the seat in front. For very young children safely secure small magnets in small stuffies, these can be stored in the roasting tin and then stuck on to the baking sheet.

What a cool idea, Lucy! Thanks so much for sharing it!

October 5, 2016 at 9:03 am

I love these ideas! We are planning to drive to Disney in February with another family. The thought of four little girls ages two and five on a 20 + hour car ride is terrifying the parents.

October 7, 2016 at 5:24 pm

Yes, I get it! 20 hours is a long time. Snacks will be your best friend. 🙂 In December we are planning a road trip to Texas with all six kids. I think it’s about 15-20 hours… I’ll have to pull out some of these to use again!

December 22, 2015 at 6:39 pm

Thank you so much for all of the wonderful ideas and resources. I’m now actually looking forward to our upcoming road trip with our 2 and 4 year old boys (plus an infant, but she won’t be participating in the activities :)).

January 1, 2016 at 5:54 pm

You’re very welcome, Cassy! I hope you have/had a great trip!

December 14, 2015 at 9:22 pm

Thank you so much!!!!! I got a 17 hour car trip coming up and didn’t want to go out and buy a ton of things for my preschooler to do. Yes we are breaking the trip up but he is not a great car rider so this is exactly what we need.

December 19, 2015 at 3:46 pm

I hope you have a wonderful trip, Cora!

I am probably the first dad in here. This is really cool stuff. Thanks for sharing all this. I am printing away as I speak

December 28, 2014 at 2:42 pm

Not quite the first, but maybe the second. 🙂 I hope you have a great (and somewhat quiet) trip, Nick!

I completed it this summer and learned so much, just in time to apply everything I learned to a site redesign coming next week. Excited! Thank you!!

July 14, 2014 at 8:57 pm

Thanks so much for these! I’m traveling 16 hrs with a 4, 2.5 & 10 month old so looking for some activities to keep us all sane

July 17, 2014 at 8:02 am

That’s a long trip, Ali – been there! I hope it goes well for you and that you have a nice peaceful trip. 🙂

July 9, 2014 at 10:02 pm

June 20, 2014 at 12:01 pm

These are some AWESOME suggestions. I’m planning a vacation for July and we’ll be traveling roughly 13 hours in a car with a 2 and a 5 year old. Thanks so much for sharing!

July 9, 2014 at 5:32 am

You’re welcome, Brandy! I hope your kids stay content on your long trip!

May 28, 2014 at 8:17 pm

This post couldn’t have come at a better time for my family. In the next month, we are taking 3 16 hour road trips. I have a 1 year old, a 2 year old, and a 4 year old and we will definitely be using some of your ideas! Thank you so much for all your hard work. We are planning on driving from 9pm until we get there!

June 1, 2014 at 7:53 pm

Good for you for driving through the night! We are probably a little older than you, as that’s pretty hard for us. On our way to our destination we ended up getting the kids up at 4:30 AM with the plan that they would go back to sleep for a few hours. Nope! Not sure if leaving even earlier is a good or bad idea..

Great Ideas! We traveling and always looking for ideas…love to bring magnetic fun!

June 1, 2014 at 7:52 pm

Love your recent post about Virginia Beach… my home town!

May 28, 2014 at 9:16 am

My family is flying from SC to WA this summer. My daughters are 7 and 6, but the 6 yo is more like a 4 yo. The color pages will be WONDERFUL for them to do on the planes and at grandma and grandpa’s house when they claim to be “bored”. Thanks a lot for these wonderful resources.

June 1, 2014 at 7:51 pm

You’re very welcome, Christine! We are currently enjoying our vacation, and the pages we did not do in the car (mainly the Melissa and Doug activities) have been great to fill some time at our destination.

May 27, 2014 at 2:24 pm

Can’t wait til you get here!

May 27, 2014 at 7:48 am

I love this!! We regularly make a 9-10 hour car journey to see family and am always looking for ideas to keep my pre-schoolers entertained (without having to reach for dropped bottles or toys every few minutes!) Thank you.

June 1, 2014 at 7:50 pm

You’re very welcome! I hope your kids enjoy a few of these ideas. As it turned out, my kids were happiest with the coloring pages, books on CD, and drawing pads. They did a little bit with the magnetic shapes and of course loved the snacks most of all. 🙂

Road Trip Printables for Kids

Road Trip Printables for Kids

This article may contain compensated links, please read our disclaimer  for more information.

Family time on the road is a great way to make memories. However, we all know that it can be a bit of a challenge for younger travelers. Children need more entertainment, snacks, and breaks to stay happy.

If you find your little ones are getting bored with travel days, spice up your normal RV activities with some fun road trip printables . While these printables are for kids, the whole family can enjoy helping out with games like the license plate game, scavenger hunts, and bingo.

The collection even includes some road trip printables for parents to help pack and plan using the itinerary printable  and pre-road trip checklist .

Here’s how to ensure you can enjoy your time on the road.

Have Your RV Maintenanced Before a Big Trip

There’s nothing like a “check engine” light or odd noise to put a damper on family travel. Bring your RV in for a service check before you adventure out on a long journey. If you’d rather do so at home, check your tire pressure and top off any fluids before hitting the road.

Bring a First Aid Kit

Prepare for any injuries or sick tummies by stocking up your first aid kit  before you leave. Include the basics like band-aids, but also throw in some medications for fevers, colds, and coughs.

Add to Your Road Trip Printables

Now you’ve got some printable activities for kids, but don’t forget the iPads, movies, podcasts, coloring books, handheld games, and special surprise toys. A variety of games and activities  will help keep things fresh on the road and keep your kids occupied. Don’t forget the car chargers for electronics too!

Pack Healthy Snacks

Road trips are often a great opportunity to indulge in junk foods, but too much sugar can have consequences on your children. Stick to healthy options like apples, carrots, trail mix, and jerky to satisfy their appetites and avoid any sugar rushes.

Plan Out Fun Stops and Breaks

A little bit of prepwork can reveal some fabulous roadside attractions. Look for parks, rest stops, landmarks, museums, and restaurants along your route that are kid-friendly. Plan to stop every few hours for a leg stretch, and alternate drivers to stay safe and refreshed.

Family travel doesn’t have to induce stress for everyone involved. Some planning, preparation, and a positive attitude can make a huge difference on your next road trip. Hit the road and make some treasured memories with your family!

Coloring - Coloring is an easy and affordable way to keep kids busy when you're traveling.

Inexpensive coloring books or free printable coloring pages can keep both little and big kids busy.

Pack crayons, pens or c olored pencils and for tweens or teens, choose more complicated designs or adult coloring books to keep them challenged. 

Tic-Tac-Toe - Who doesn’t enjoy a good game of tic-tac-toe? Let the kids play together in the backseat to see who will win the most times! We love these magnetic tic-tac-toe games for taking on the road.

Drawing - Supply the kids with blank sheets of paper, or a sketch pad, pencils and coloring utensils and see what they can create. You never know what types of masterpieces they might draw.

  Doodle Board - Purchase fun doodle boards for the kids and let them go to town. These boards are entertaining and less messy. They are also great to play games like hangman and tic-tac-toe on the go. 

Play-Doh - If you have plastic trays for your children to place over their laps, why not let them play with Play-Doh ? It will keep them busy while they create different shapes and objects using their clay. Be sure to check out our favorite homemade Play-doh recipe .

Educational Apps - If you don’t mind your children using electronics and having some screentime, you can let the kids play on their phone, iPad or tablet. There are lots of age-appropriate and educational games available to keep kids of all ages busy.

  Twenty Questions - Play a good ol’ game of twenty questions! Come up with a list of questions before you even head out on the road trip.

Simon Says -  You can’t go wrong with an old-fashioned game of Simon Says. It will have everyone in the car laughing! You may have to get creative since everyone is strapped into the seat belts, but it can make the game even more fun and challenging. 

  Magnetic Face Book - For a fun and silly activity, supply your younger kids with a magnet face book . The book is magnetic and allows children to create different faces using colorful, fun magnets.

  Magnetic Letter Board - A  magnetic letter board encourages children to spell words and sentences. It’s a great activity for younger children who are still learning how to spell various words and you can have them practice their spelling list from school or other words. 

  Play School - Let the kids take turns being the teacher while playing school on the road trip! It’s a silly and fun activity that the children under 10 will like because they get to be in control for a bit.

  Snack Fun - While it’s not necessarily a big activity, providing the kids with fun snacks to eat and enjoy is a great way to keep them entertained for at least 30 minutes.

Busy Bags - Make busy bags for the kids to play with that include different items, including buttons, pipe cleaners, and other simple items. They can get creative with these interesting items and stay busy!

  Sing-Along Songs - Put on some sing-along songs and have the time of your life with the kids. Sing with the songs for lots of laughs and good times.

Movies - Use a portable DVD player to play a movie that the children can watch and enjoy when they’re on the road.

  Hand Games - Show your children how to play different hand games like you did when you were a child.

  Barbie Dolls - The same thing goes for Barbies! Let your kids play with action figures and Barbies in the car to keep themselves entertained.

  License Plate Search Game - Enjoy the license plate game. Ask your kid if they can find a license plate with a specific state on it! The game keeps them looking until they find it.

  Paper Plate Crafts - Give the kids paper plates and markers and encourage them to create a mask. They can hold the face up when they’re done, using it like a mask.

Play Hangman - Who can go wrong with a good game of hangman? You can use a dry-erase board to play hangman in the car with the kids or try these fun travel hangman games . 

  Sign Search - Play a sign search game where the kids will look for specific signs, such as stop signs, one-way signs, and more.

  Create Silly Songs - Ask the children to help you create silly songs to sing throughout the journey. It’s a lot of fun!

Play with Felt - Bring some felt supplies and let your children play with them. They can even create different things out of felt.

  Connect Four - Consider bringing the game of Connect Four for the ride. It’s a fun game that requires quick thinking! Place it on a tray or cookie sheet to help keep the discs contained when emptying out the board for the next game or check out these travel Connect Four games for the road. 

Guess Who? - If you have the space for it, a game of Guess Who can keep your older children entertained. We love this travel version of Guess Who . 

Color Rocks  - Rather than painting rocks and making a mess in the car, supply the kids with markers or paint pens and rocks to color them. Have them leave their artwork behind at rest stops and other locations along your travels for others to find and pick up more rocks every time you stop to decorate more.

  Photo Scavenger Hunt - Do your kids have phones or cameras? Give them a photo scavenger hunt list of things to photograph and have them search for the items during your travels. 

Fidget Toys -  Want to keep the kid's hands and minds busy? One of the favorite things we ever packed for a road trip was a bag of assorted fidget toys . The kids spun, popped and played for hours. 

  Sticker Letters - Have the kids practice spelling skills and create words and phrases using sticker letters to see what types of silly things they can come up with in the car.

  Printable Road Trip Games  - Find and print some easy road trip games that will keep the entire family entertained while out on the road. Don't miss our fun road trip word scramble and road trip word search !

Binoculars - Let the kids use binoculars to see what they can find, such as birds lingering on tree branches. These are also handy to use when visiting attractions or attending events on your travels. 

Nail Painting - If you don’t mind the smell, older kids might enjoy painting their nails on a road trip. Have them bring a small tray or a cookie sheet to help keep things confined and prevent spills. 

Gel Pen Designs - Don’t forget about gel pens ! Let the kids doodle with them to create bright and sparkly designs! Have them use sketch pads or sketch pads to create fun designs and color them in. 

Keeping kids busy when you're on the road can keep them entertained and make the miles go faster. Not every activity has to be on electronics and this time can be a great time for kids to get creative and be unplugged.
