Music as a mood maker – A special soundtrack for the car journey
Music can help prevent frustration and boredom, even on the longest car rides and in traffic jams. To ensure that the little ones get their money's worth, it's a good idea to create a playlist with your children in the weeks leading up to your vacation. They can record their favorite songs and get excited for the trip in advance. This way, you can not only listen to music together in the car, but also sing along, encouraging your children's interest in music.
Audiobooks & radio plays – exciting entertainment on long car journeys
In addition to music, listening to exciting stories is also a great way to engage children's ears. There's a wide selection of stories and adventures suitable for all ages. Children can sit back, listen to the stories, and let their creative thoughts run wild while the time flies by in the car.

Games for long car journeys with children – classics rediscovered
There are many games that can be played without much equipment and are therefore ideal for on the go:
- Travel Bingo: Before the trip, you can create bingo cards with different things you might see on the trip. For example, a cow, a red car, or a windmill. When the children see the object, they can mark it on their card. The first player to fill a row wins.
- Who am I? One player imagines a person or animal, and the other players must guess who or what it is by asking yes or no questions. For example: "Am I an animal? Can I fly? Do I have feathers?"
- Alphabet Game: Players must go through the alphabet, saying a word beginning with the next letter each time. For example: "A is for apple, B is for banana, C is for computer." If a player can't think of another word, they're out of the game.
