Road Trip Game Printables. Use these free printable road trip activities to keep the kids busy in the car. Includes a license plate game and road trip scavenger hunt.
We are getting ready to go on our big annual camping trip we take every year for Memorial Day weekend. It is a lot of food, fun, and friends! We look forward to it every year, although I don’t always look forward to the car ride with the kids. It is only about a 2 1/2 hour drive, but the kids can easily get bored and whiny.
I decided to create a road trip binder for each of the kids. I will add to these over time so the kids don’t get bored with them and as I have more time, but so far I have two free printables to share with you today.

License Plate Game Printable
I am sure there are some of you that played this game as a kid – the “License Plate Game”. For this game, you try to find a license plate from each state. Your child can mark off each license plate as he or she sees them. I used images I found on The US50 to create this printable.

Road Trip Scavenger Hunt Printable
Next up I created a road trip scavenger hunt. You could also adapt this to use for bingo as well. My kids are little, so just searching for each of the items on the sheet will definitely keep them busy. This one is somewhat specific to Arizona since that is where we live. These images are from the Manual of Traffic Signs, by Richard C. Moeur.

Ideas for how to use these free printables:
- Make them reusable:
- Laminate and use with a dry erase marker
- Place in a clear page protector and use a wet erase marker
- Use a timer to make it a race
- Add to your road trip binder for long car rides
Do you have any creative ideas for keeping the kids entertained on long trips?
