There are many activities you can engage in with your grandkids during this summer vacation and one of them is taking a road trip. You and your grandkids can have a special time during your vacation where you can have so much fun, discovery, learning and bonding moments.

Taking grandkids on the road can be memorable for the trip itself and the people you travelled with. To make it memorable you should plan it accordingly to avoid few bumps on the road such as an unhappy lot claiming the trip is boring or suffering from acute hunger pangs.

Long road trips are probably the worst for kids especially if there is no kind of entertainment to while the hours away in the confined car. Elderly people can survive a road trip with their grandkids of any age including toddlers and teenagers by knowing what to do.

Here are a few things to keep in mind:

• Travel games

Some travel games to play with the kids include those that do not need any props or gear such as twenty questions, license place lingo and I.D, rock, paper scissors, odds-evens and geography among many others. Games that seniors and their grandchildren can play that require materials include cards, cootie catcher, string game figures, printable bingo games inclusive of others.

• Utilize technology

Sing-along songs and sound from video games, movies or music videos can leave you with a pounding headache. Your grandchildren may use plug-in to keep the sounds from the electronic to the minimum. This also allows persons who want to take a snooze to do so without any difficulty.

• Music

You can have a collection of music from all participants to spice up your road trip. Everyone will have a chance to listen to the music of choice and relax while sightseeing. The grandchildren may learn more about your classic taste of music and your can learn about their music as well.

• Small toys and coloring books

Small grandchildren may require small toys such as a teddy bear, dolls or cars. Coloring books and crayons will give the little ones something to play with while working on their creativity.

The elderly should also have essentials including cleaning supplies, healthy drinks and snacks, maps, first aid kit and extra clothing among others. In addition, engage the grandkids with great conversations that may lead to great relationships in the future.
