3. Kanoodle Jr. (Ages 4+)

8. Back Seat Bingo (Ages 4+)

9. Math Dice (Ages 8+) and Math Dice Jr. (Ages 6+)

Math becomes more fun when players think on the fly! Roll the 12-sided target dice to get target numbers, then roll the scoring dice and build a math equation with the numbers that turn up. Add, subtract, multiply, or divide the scoring numbers to reach the target. The mental challenge helps players sharpen their math skills by solving problems in a new way.

The problem with having all these great activities for the road is that your children won't want to stop traveling! With a little planning, everyone will have an entertaining ride.
