Ideas for Simple Travel Games Traveling to a dream vacation can be challenging. It is especially difficult for children who find spending several hours without movement a significant challenge. Below, we present a few simple games that will help you make your travel time more enjoyable. Most of these ideas are suitable regardless of your chosen mode of transport.
-
Associations Participants create the beginning of a sentence. Other passengers complete it. Examples: Strong as... Green as... Fast as... Soft as...
-
What do you prefer? Passengers take turns asking each other a series of questions. The task is to answer as quickly as possible. Examples: Mountains or sea? Sweet or salty? Train or airplane? Flowers or trees?
-
Number Riddles Participants take turns solving mathematical riddles. Examples: Which number is greater than 4 but less than 6? What is the smallest two-digit number? What two identical numbers multiplied give the result 9? How many zeros are in a thousand?
-
What will it be? The game involves tracing everyday objects and then adding original elements to them. Example: Trace coins and add eyes, nose, mouth, mustaches, or funny hairstyles.
-
Cipher Write a chosen word using a cipher. Replace letters according to a key we create. Example: Key: P-M, D-R, G-O, T-N, B-X Cipher – encrypted word: PADIGITEB – MARIOINEX
-
What if... Together, we ponder what would happen if... ants were as big as elephants or if nobody went to work? We encourage children to fantasize, try to develop each thought, and come up with different scenarios ourselves.
-
List Passengers take turns solving tasks. They must provide three correct answers. We can prepare questions in advance or make them up on the spot. Example tasks: Name 3 animals that eat grass. Name 3 colors with a warm hue. Name 3 road signs.
-
I will put in the suitcase... Participants take turns saying what they will put in the suitcase. The name of each item must start with a chosen letter, e.g., "s."
-
Am I telling the truth? Say two sentences. Other passengers guess which one was true and which one was false. They should be plausible and thus difficult to guess. Example: I had a beautiful dream today. I don’t remember today's dreams.
-
What's that melody? Participants take turns humming or singing parts of songs. The task of the other passengers is to guess the titles as quickly as possible. The person who guesses first gets a point. The winner is the participant who collects the most points. We can make the game more challenging by also naming the song's artist.

Mini Waffle Blocks For a trip, it's worth taking a small package of Mini Waffle blocks. We can use them to create structures and solve various tasks available on the website www.marioinex.pl, under the Education -> didactic cards section.
