## Do The Impossible: Keep The Kids Entertained On Your Campervan Trip

 August 2023

So, you’ve planned the [perfect road trip](https://blog.vanandbus.co.uk/blog/best-isle-of-wight-campsites). You’re going to spend a week or two driving around the coast, taking in secluded beaches, vibrant towns, and country pubs. There’s only one concern when it comes to achieving this itinerary: the kids.

If your brood starts to get restless after an hour or two on the road, properly preparing for your trip is essential. Putting a little time and energy into planning your in-van entertainment will help to prevent arguments and keep your family holiday right on track.

## **Pop Up Fort**

Your [van’s pop top](https://blog.vanandbus.co.uk/blog/unforgettable-family-moments-transform-your-campervan) is the perfect place for a holiday fort. Set the kids up with their favourite toys, blankets, and games and create a cosy and unique space for them to enjoy. Although you won’t be able to use the pop up fort when you’re on the road, it will make a great place for your kids to relax and unwind when you stop, especially on rainy summer days.

## **Pack A Travel Activity Bag**

Car entertainment for kids is never easy, particularly on long trips. One of the best ways to keep them happy when you’re travelling is to pack an activity bag. Prepare a bag with a selection of things to do. Think of colouring books, crayons, puzzles, sticker books, and small toys. Hand-held electronic games can also work well for slightly older kids.

## **Download Audiobooks**

If your kids love listening to songs and stories – but you’ve already heard ‘Baby Shark’ one too many times – why not download a few audiobooks? Audiobooks can keep kids quiet for hours, fire their imaginations and get them interested in literature. You could even buy your kids some headphones and enjoy a bit of peace and quiet while you watch the world go by.

## **Interactive Games**

Before you set off, think of a few classic games to play in the car with kids. ‘I Spy’ and the alphabet game work well with younger children, while older kids will love playing travel-themed games and quizzes. Plan a few of your games in advance so you’re ready to crack them out the moment tempers start to fray.

## **Snacks And Treats**

Snacks and treats help make road trips more enjoyable for kids and grown-ups alike. Pack snacks that are easy to eat and aren’t too messy. Try to include a few healthy options like dried fruit and smoothies as well as treats.

## **Travel Journals Or Scrapbooks**

[Holidaying in a campervan](https://blog.vanandbus.co.uk/blog/yorkshire-campervan-destinations) with kids can be truly memorable – hopefully for all the right reasons. Giving each of your kids a small journal or scrapbook will allow them to document their journey and make their own memories. It will also let them create a memento they can keep forever.
