Car Ride Sanity

If you are taking a long car trip with children, it pays to plan ahead.

Before leaving the house, ask the kids to draw pictures on scraps of paper or index cards of things that they think they'll see while driving - barns, cows, horses, airplanes, semi trucks, McDonalds, farm tractors, etc. Take the pictures with you and have a contest to see who can find all of the items on their cards first.
