Road trips with my son doesn't have to be difficult ordeal punctuated with a repeated "Daddy are we there yet?" There are plenty of ways to make time in the care fun for both of us. Here are some of the creative games to keep you kid entertain while on road.
Each player chooses a restaurant, such as Burger King, McD etc. Players earn points by spotting their restaurant off the road, on a billboard, on exit markers, on food/fuel signs, or by hearing it mentioned on the radio. Impose a time limit, lets say 20mins and then add up the points
*Parents be warned, you kid might claim that they're hungry every single time they see McDonald's)

STEAL LIKE AN ARTIST
Auston Kloen presents himself as a young writer and artist emphasizing that creativity is everywhere and is for everyone. In his words, "You don't need to be a genius, you just need to be yourself"
Kloen points out that no artist's work ever completely original, and that trying to be completely original will daunt an artist and eventually smothers his creativity. He suggests artist embrace the inevitability of influence, to celebrate living outside of a vacuum to relax, and have fun with their art. Beyond that, he also goes on to offer tips on how to stay focused, upbeat, and be receptive to incoming inspiration.
