Last week when we went on our mini road trip over the 4th of July our car was completely full! I’m not sure we could have fit anything else inside of our Expedition! One of the things I made sure to bring though was a special bag full of activities to keep the kids busy in the car to hopefully keep them playing together instead of fighting or crying out, “Are we there yet?” Every five minutes. The only thing I was missing in the bag was some treats (aka candy). I mean what’s a road trip without goodies, right? So we stopped by Walmart on our way out of town for some candy ideas and they were demoing the new Zours® Candy from Mike and Ike. Often times I’m a little hesitant and will pass on sour candy because it’s just too tart for me, but I was brave and the Zours® candy was actually really tasty! They were sweet and sour just enough to give you a little pucker when you ate them!
Needless to say they kept us very entertained in the car taking ridiculously silly #ZoursFace selfies.
Our two and a half hour road trip passed pretty quickly between!
Here are some of the silly little things we did to pass the time together –
- Silly Zour Faces – On the count of three each pop a piece into your mouths and take a photo, then judge who has the best #ZoursFace.
- Slug Bug games – Remember this game? My kids love it.
- I spy – …with my little eyes… it’s a classic game that can turn silly very fast when you put three kids in one car.
- Dance parties in our seats – We like to switch stations and find the best songs to rock out too in our seats. I’m not sure what Wayne thinks of this while he’s trying to drive, but hey – the kids aren’t fighting! 🙂
- Funny feet photos – Don’t ask me why – but I always end up with some ‘pedicure’ photo from every road trip! If you’re kids have their own camera or you have one they can borrow, toss one in the back seat and let them
take their own silly road trip photos. You can go through and delete all but the very best later.
Even after we arrived at ‘camp’ the Zour® Candies were a big hit, and we enjoyed them as a little treat to have on hand. Sometimes it’s funny how one little thing like new candy can spark a whole lot of fun and creative entertainment for the family!
What kinds of silly things do you do to keep the kids entertained in the car? Please tell me I’m not the only one doing the disco in the car. 😉
Thanks #CollectiveBias for making our road trip a little more exciting!

Great list. Pinned! Your "pedicure" photos remind me of a time when we were on a road trip with our three kids and we stopped at a cemetery for my hubby to take ancestral photos. The "tigger" son came with us but the youngest son and our daughter waited in the van. The youngest thought is was funny to "tattoo" his sister's feet using his markers. She had gorgeous colorful feet for our whole Florida vacation! They weren't washable markers – always read the label.
I'm sure your trip was great, the kids seem to be very happy. These are very good ideas for road trips, I have a long list since mine just can't repeat so often thanks for adding a few.
Have a wonderful rest of the week.
These are good ideas. Thank you for sharing. Hello from Wonderfully Creative Wednesdays.
LOL I remembered “I spy” as soon as I saw your post! LOL We also played the rhyming game, remember? XD
