Road Trip Bingo


The kids and I returned last night from a wonderful week away visiting my parents. During the three hour ride to the airport, I remembered some of the fun travel games my mom used to have in the car for us. I used to love playing travel bingo; and I wish I had made this before our trip. But I'm sure it will come in handy for all those road trips in our future.

I designed this free printable for you to add to your summer survival kit. There are four versions, so everyone can have a different game board.
And in case you were wondering, the little blue vehicles are actual vehicles that the kids need to spot in addition to all the road signs.

All you have to do: print out enough copies for your kids, grab some pencils so they can cross off their findings (pencils work so much better than trying to balance a sheet full of bingo pieces on a bouncy car ride), and have a great trip!

that is awesome! Love it Jill! I think i would be listening out for when the kids find the 'free' thing and my car will come to a quick halt! What about a box saying "50% off sale"??

I love this idea. I think the kids are going to love this game when they are not playing with the iPad on the road. The kids love watching TV on the road through my provider/employer DISH Network. The kids can watch live TV from anywhere we are at. They love they have access to all their favorite channels right from the iPad. All I had to do was purchase the Sling Adapter from DISH and hook it up to my receiver. I now have access to all my DVR recordings and my subscription channels from anywhere I am at. What is really cool is that DISH is having a promotion on the Sling Adapter. Check it out on this link http://bit.ly/kzrNRf. It is the best app I have on the iPad, but this game is going to be great for them. I don’t like them watching too much TV and usually have them do other activities in the car as well.
