Association which - may. help with the. perennial problem of keeping children amused between 7 stops. | Older youngsters who know their three ‘‘Rs’’ can help keep track of vacation expenses and gas mileage or help navigate. They can also try to keep the little ones amused. Or suggest that the child bring along a book—a particularly good one would be about the area the family will be visiting. A ceck of cards is also a good ide. for all the children. Colouring books and cray- ons may keep toddlers CRP mesa Sctiipiea, suggests ‘the’ auto club, or a picture book or soft ‘toy. But: be certain that it. won't pose any hazard in the event of a traffic mishap. Instead of packing a suitcase full. of games, though, there are lots of easy travelling games kids can play along the way, says the BCAA. Alf you will need to remember are pencils and paper. Here are just a few: aT Categories: The children select a category, such ‘as animals ‘or fruits. Each player, in turn, ‘names an appropriate item, such as horse or apple, continuing until someone repeats an item already mentioned or cannot think of one.. The winner is the last to be eliminated. Scavenger Hants Parents ‘can: n-plan- this-before-the trip. maybe even n enjoy. some of the route? begins or an older child can compose lists in the car. Each player. is given: a different list of common items to locate along the roadway, such as a cow, police car, gasoline station or vegetable stand. Players cross off items as they are seen. First to finish the list wins. Billboard Rhyme: Players try to think of second lines to rhyme with a sign or ‘billboard that also relate to the product’or service adver- tised. For example, if a sign reads, “‘Siop Here For Gas’’ a second line might be ‘‘But Be Careful When You Pass.’’ . Players can take turns trying to come up with the most . Clever r rhyme. | ‘On My Trip: This game involves concentration and. memorization. The first player begins with, ‘‘On my trip to (insert family destin- ation), I’m going to take my sunglasses.’’ The next player must repeat the introductory - - phrase, the article mentioned by the previous player and insert an article of his own. For instance, ‘‘On my trip. to Florida, I’m going to take my sunglasses and my swim- suit.’ Players, in turn, must add a new item each time, but repeat all other items mentioned in their proper order first. “A player who . come to collecting all 10 plus the ‘territories and then the forgets the proper sequence or can’t think of an item is | eliminated. A parent might serve as ‘‘referee’’ by writing down in order each new item mentioned.
