If you have children we don’t have to tell you what a nightmare road trips can be. But don’t worry, help is on the way…

MomsMinivan.com has more than 101 ideas for fun things that kids can do in the car. Including travel tips, kids travel games and printable car games and activities.

Best of all, activities are organized by age group so you can quickly find ones that are just right for your family.

Some of our favorite ideas are:

- Travel Tickets: Use some colored construction paper to cut out some “tickets” for your trip. Give your child a pre-counted baggie full of tickets. Every half hour (or every 30 miles) they can turn in one ticket to you. When their tickets are gone, the trip has ended! This really helps young children get an idea of how much time is left on the journey.

- Mystery Writing: One child holds out his hand and closes his eyes while the other child “writes” on his hand with her finger. The first child has to guess what the second person is writing. Start with just letters, andd if it gets too easy, play with 2 or 3 letter words, pausing between letters. There’s no winner or loser with this game. It can just go on continuously!

- Aluminum Foil Modeling: Give everyone a sheet of aluminum foil. Have them mold it into anything they want: animal shapes, Frisbees, balls, jewelry, crowns, headband, necklaces. Be creative.
