WITH delays at airports, on ferries and – of course – on the roads, beating travel boredom is a harder road than ever.
Instead of plugging in a device, get your family holiday trip off to some traditional fun with great-value games and toys.
Beating travel boredom is a harder road than ever
ONE FOR ALL: For £6 at Sainsbury’s, down from £8, a pack of Uno cards will repay your family for years with hours of fun anywhere around the world.
GET FROM A TO B: Use the power of the alphabet to plough through the miles on a long car journey.
Spot something starting with each letter, in order, outside the car. The first person to get to Z (Clue: Zebra crossing!) wins.
BRAIN GAME: Introduce kids to the challenging world of chess with WHSmith’s travel set, down from £6.99 to £4.89.
SCRATCH THAT: With glue and glitter galore, most craft activities are a no-no on long journeys.
But scratch art is the exception.
You can buy the Ultimate Scratch Art Kit for £12.99 WHERE? or two for £20 in a deal on craft sets, or pack one of its smaller £3.50 kits.
WHO ARE YOU?: Playing the classic “Who am I?” game should make short work of any delays.
Take it in turns to think of a person or character, then the others take turns asking questions until they work out who it is.
Remember, you can only ask things that can be answered “Yes” or “No”.
COMPACT DISCS: Pack the travel-size Four In A Row game, £2, from The Works, for hours of fun.
Two players take turns to slot their discs into the playing frame until one gets a line of four.
The store also has travel Snakes and Ladders for £2.
