You decided to go on a road trip with the kids and you are
wondering how to keep them entertained in the car. You are bringing snacks,
books, coloring books, music, toys and a list of car games to play. You are
also packing their tablets or phones. If they don’t have either, I am sure
there will be a time where you hand off yours. Your kids might be bored with
the kids apps they have. It’s always fun to get new apps to play while on a
road trip. It will help keep your children occupied in the car while hopefully learning
something new. Minecraft is awesome, but sometimes you need a break from all
the Minecraft talk. Downloading the right apps can help your kids learn while
they are having fun. It’s also a good idea to have a couple apps that they can
only play while traveling to make them more special. Don’t forget to pack a
pair of headphones each child too.
Mad Libs is a fun fill in the blank party game. Parents
probably remember doing Mad Libs when they were kids. There is now a Mad Libs
App that brings all the crazy and funny stories to life. You won’t have to
worry about losing the pad or your pencil under the car seat or worse
accidentally kick them out. You can type in the information or use photos from
your phone to make some of the most hilarious stories you ever heard.
If your kids are adventurers, you can download the Visited
States App to track what states you have gone through. You can even share it
with your family and friends. It’s a great way to get familiar with the
different states and where they are located.
Disney XD app is awesome because you can watch different
shows on the road. You can also even live stream Disney XD so your child
doesn’t miss the latest episode of his favorite show.
YouTube and Netflix are great for movies and videos. You can
find almost anything on YouTube. Gaming videos where people talk about playing
computer games and apps is really big right now. I am not sure why they are so
appealing but they are. Most of them are kid appropriate too. Remember to have
Parental Controls on just in case.
The Robot Factory will entertain your child through design,
free play and creating. They can design their robot however they want and even
test it out. It’s a great way to think out of the box and not worry about if
it’s right and they can make silly robots too.
Where’s my Water has been out for a really long time, but
it’s also a lot of fun. It helps promote problem solving skills and hand and
eye coordination. It can be tough sometimes to get Wally the water he needs
safely.
For little kids check out these apps:

full of Eric Carle graphics and teaches words. It has different languages so
your bigger kids can also learn a new language, like Spanish, Chinese, French
or German. It’s really easy for preschoolers to use on their own or you can do
it together.
Do you remember the show Reading Rainbow? There’s now a
Reading Rainbow App. Your child can choose from many different books and either
read them or have books read to them out loud for the whole family to enjoy.

another language through stories and vocabulary. There’s also fun games to
play, and from 28 languages to choose from your child will never be bored. It is really easy for little kids to pick up
