Road Trip Games and Tips

Summer travel season is upon us, and Don Ayres Honda wants to make 2011 your best year yet! Join us each Friday as we provide fun tips for anyone planning to head out on a fabulous summer adventure. We’ll share travel trivia, boredom busters and super songs. (Go ahead … crank up the radio and sing to your heart’s content!) Here’s to a great ride!

If you’ve ever traveled with young children, you know that entertaining car activities are a must! Our tip this week? Pack a cookie sheet for each of your kids.

It may seem odd, but an old cookie sheet can come in quite handy on a long road trip. Use it as:

• A food or snack tray (no more French fries on the floor!)
• An activity tray (keep coloring books and crayons in one place)
• A handy surface for alphabet magnets, magnetic paper dolls, etc.

If you really want to get creative, you can paint one side of the cookie sheet with chalkboard paint. Kids will have hours of fun playing tic-tac-toe, hangman and other fun games!
