    Summer means ROAD TRIPS!

    At least, it does for my family. During summer, the weather is close to perfect in Oregon. So we prefer to stay closer to home and do road trips during the summer. We love doing Oregon Coast road trips. Although, there are so many other day trips from Portland that we love, too.

    Make family road trips even more fun with these free printable road trip games! Print out road trip bingo cards and license plate games for hours of road trip fun.

    🚗 Are you and your family road trip-ready? Check out our article on Family Road Trip Tips. Plus download our free packing printable from that article!

    Road Trip Games

    I designed these road trip games to help families bust out of those "I'm bored!" and "Are we there yet?" family road trip moments.

    Included you get:

    • a set of 4 different Road Trip Bingo cards
    • one License Plates Game printable

    They were a huge hit! In fact, my kids LOVED them so much, that they continued on with new Bingo cards on subsequent car rides.

    🖨️ You can click here to download the Road Trip Bingo printable for free. Simply download, print, and cut!

    Plus, they kept the License Plates Game printable in the car so that they could continue crossing off different states anytime we are on the road.

    Hint: the airport parking garage is a great spot to nab a bunch of different states at once!

    Who knew they would LOVE these games so much?

    Road trip bingo tips

    Road trip printable bingo cards
    • Make up your own rules. For example, you can have kids mark off the Speed 55 box for only 55 MPH speed limit signs. Or, for ANY speed limit sign. The bike symbol could be crossed off if they see a bike (parked or locked up on a street. Or if they see someone riding a bike -- that both would count. The kids love being able to help come up with the rules! It helps invest them even more in the game.
    • Once a child gets a Bingo, keep going to see how many Bingos they can get before you get to your destination.
    • Aim for a Blackout Bingo: getting ALL of the squares on a Bingo card.
    • Whether you have prizes or not, it's up to you. You could offer prizes that go along with the road trip. For instance, maybe the kid who gets the first Bingo gets to choose where to go for dinner that night.

    Recommended ages for road trip games

    road trip license plate games.

    In my experience as a parent, I found the ideal ages for these printables is between the ages of 4 and 13.

    The license plate game is definitely better for the older ages since they can read the states on license plates. Plus, they generally have a keen eye for catching different plate designs that whiz by your car.

    Have fun on your next family road trip with these road trip games!

        Love it! My kids are totally into the "slug-bug" game....I'm pretty sure they make up and change rules as they go....apparently now a PT Cruiser counts as a Bug because they say it looks funny too! ;)

          LOL - Melissa, my kids change the rules all the time to the car games we do. That's fun about your kids counting the Cruiser as a bug! Love it!
