How to Keep Kids Entertained While RVing -- Without Screens

“Are we there yet?!” Without a doubt, traveling by RV with kids, whether you’re heading to a campsite nearby or on a multi-day trip across several states, can bring moments where they’re flat out bored in the back of the camper or backseat of your tow vehicle.

Sure, you can queue up another video on the iPad or hand your child your phone to play some rounds of Fruit Ninja. But when it’s time to take a break from screens, consider some of these games and activities to keep them occupied. Some of these options can be enjoyed while you’re kicking back and relaxing at the campground, too. wp-content-uploads-2021-03-playful-kids-Storyblocks-300x200.jpg

Audiobooks

If your kids are like mine, they might get a little queasy reading books while in a moving vehicle. Audiobooks, where they can listen to a narrated story, might do the job. Audible offers a 30-day free trial, so you can give it a whirl at no cost. Download the app to your phone or tablet, then you can broadcast through Bluetooth to your vehicle’s sound system. Or set your kids up with their own earbuds (or kid-sized headphones) to listen on their own.

Check out this list of kids’ books from Audible. Other audiobook streaming services with children and young adult stories include Audiobooks.com, Chirp, and . Also consider the audiobook options at your local library.
