2. Car games: There are so many games that can occupy a long car ride. For example, with young kids you could play something as simple as “I SPY” or “I’m Going On a Picnic” where you name an item beginning with every letter of the alphabet until you get all the way through. These take up time and will help your kids forget that there is still time left in the car.
