Yes, we live in an age of hand-held videogames, games on cell-phones, and DVDs in the minivan; yet for travel games on long car trips, kids can still have fun with old-fashioned favorites such as Connect the Dots, Tic Tac Toe, and simple word puzzles.

Below are six links for printable travel games, courtesy of guest contributor Nancy Bates.

These travel games suit kids age five and up.

Tip: If your child tends to get carsick, encourage him/her to look out the window: play License Plates or a word game s/he can play while focusing outside the car. Focusing the eyes on a hand-held game or a book makes carsickness worse. (Read more about motion sickness in the car.)
