Welcome to Beyond the Blackboard! Check out our collection of printable activities for your next family car ride or summer road trip.

Our team members love road tripping during the summer months, and thought we should share some of our favorite free printable activities and games. Grab your free printable road trip activities and games for your next road trip, and keep the kids busy! Of course, grown-ups can totally play, too.

Free Printable Travel Activities for Kids

We know that most printable games can be done on road trips, but we also know it's nice to have printables that are road trip-specific, or unique activities meant to be done in the car (like our License Plate Coloring Map Game).

If you're gearing up for a family car trip this summer, you'll appreciate these activities and games that will keep the kids off their phones and tablets!

We have even heard some parents say that they laminate their printables so they can be used again. You can also use a standard page protector as an alternative to lamination. Brilliant! 

You may also want to grab a clipboard or a lap desk to make it easier for your kids to play these games and do fun activities on-the-go. Keeping the kids busy on road trips can be challenging, so we've put together these printable games and activities to help keep them busy!

Printable Road Trip Activities

We love this simple starfish shaped maze - it's great for practicing fine motor skills!

This A to Z I Spy game is a great way to encourage creativity and visual categorization processes during longer road trips.

We also have this cute License Plate Coloring Map you can print from anywhere. Color in each state as you find the corresponding plate and see who can spot the most unique license plates. This coloring map is great for school-aged kids of all ages. Our License Plate Coloring Map free printable will keep them engaged during the drive, and hopefully they'll learn a little U.S. geography, too!

Voila! You're one step closer to planning your summer road trip!
