30 Best Travel Games for Kids on Planes, Road Trips & in Hotels (2023)

When it comes to staying entertained on road trips, in planes, and during downtime in hotel rooms, there are plenty of fun travel games for kids that parents will love just as much.

We own most of these best travel games but have played all of them. I’ve included travel board games, dice games, magnetic games, strategy games, tabletop games, and classic favorites in portable versions that are popular and favorably reviewed best-sellers.

Whether your kids are toddlers or teens (or both), there’s something on this list that they’ll love to play with you.

All of the portable games recommended here are fairly cheap and easy to find so that you can stock up before your next family vacation and keep everyone unplugged from their devices.

Car Travel Games

Minimize the “Are we there yet?” questions on repeat with some fun travel games for long family road trips.

Truthfully, many of the games on this list can be played in the car, but these have minimal pieces or road trip themes.

1. Rory’s Story Cubes

Recommended ages: 8+

Rory’s Story Cubes are one of the hottest games out there. They are, thankfully, very convenient to travel with and easy to learn how to play. The cubes for this dice game also fit neatly into a small pouch that you can tuck into a handbag or backpack.

Players roll the dice and tell a story based on the pictures facing upward on the dice after being rolled. While it’s fun with multiple players, I’ve seen kids play it independently, too. Since storytelling is the main feature, it can be one of the perfect travel games for the car, especially if you have a small tray to roll the dice on.

We like it because there are no wrong answers, it gets the creative juices flowing, and different (usually funny) tales are told every time.

2.

Recommended ages: 8+

Keep the Melissa & Doug Flip-to-Win License Plate Game in the car for family road trips (it’s made of wood, so feels solid) so kids can log all of the different state license plates they see along the way.

The board not only helps kids spot each state’s license plate design but also showcases state capitals across the United States as a form of edutainment. Travel games for kids that teach are win-win.

3. Travel Scavenger Hunt Card Game

Recommended ages: 7+

Scavenger Hunt is a perfect family road trip game for kids. They will love keeping an eye out for items on these cards ranging from stop signs to license plates with certain letters.

The deck of cards also includes some fun “feel it” style cards designed for road bumps and unexpected things one might experience during car rides. You can play these card games with two or more players.

4. Pass the Pigs

Recommended ages: 7+

This travel game for kids crossed my radar recently. It’s wildly popular and happens to be very portable. Basically, you roll pigs instead of dice and score them by how the pigs land. It sounds crazy, but in this case, the stellar reviews also don’t lie.

Also, beware that there are lots of pig puns ahead in Pass the Pigs. Kids can play together in the backseat as long as they have a surface, like a backseat divider, to roll the pigs on.

5. Travel Spirograph

Recommended ages: 5–12

Yes! Spirograph is now in travel form! This little device comes with six wheels, pens, and its own container for making cool geometric designs on the go. Love it.

6. Travel Blurt

Recommended ages: 10+

If you like edutainment, this family travel card game is for you. It’s so fun that the kids will never know they’re learning as they play.

The cards have clues. After they’re read, other players literally blurt out the answer. The score is kept, and the person with the most points wins Travel Blurt. Ages 10+

Magnetic Travel Games

The beauty of magnetic travel games is for kids, teens, and adults is that the pieces stay in place better than their traditional counterparts do. You’ll still need to be careful not to lose the pieces. Many of these games do not come with extras, so there goes your game if one goes missing.

7. Take N Play Bingo (and Other Games)

Recommended ages: 4-8

This two-player bingo magnetic travel game means that the pieces are tough to lose. The weight of the tin is just over six ounces and 7″ square in size. It stores the pieces, serves as the game board, and can easily slip into a handbag or travel gear.

A tangram is a puzzle with pieces in seven flat shapes that are called tans. The goal is to put the tans together, without overlapping, to form a specific shape.

Kids can play with these bendable sticks anywhere — on airplane tray tables, in the car, at restaurants, and more.

The individual packs come with a puzzle or shape for the kids to make with the Wikki Stix. You can also buy kits, like the Wikki Stix Traveler playset that comes with even more activities.

Travel Games for Hotels and Airport Lounges — Best Played on Tables

Table games can be played anywhere you can secure a flat surface, be it in an airport lounge, a hotel room, a vacation rental, or a camping table.

14. Bananagrams

Recommended ages: 7+

Bananagrams is an awesome word game and comes in a small banana-shaped pouch for easy transport. It’s similar to Scrabble but played without a board. We play it as a family and even my 95-year-old grandma enjoys it.

Gather 1–8 players around a table to make a word grid with the tiles that grows until someone runs out of tiles.

I promise it’s awesome for family game night on the road, and even teens enjoy it. Thousands of positive customer reviews can’t be wrong.

Printable Travel Games

Etsy is a fantastic place to source professionally-designed printable travel games that you can purchase once for a small fee and use it again in future travels. The quality also feels more solid if you can print on cardstock paper.

21. Printable Travel Bingo Cards

I love the design of these printable travel bingo cards where passengers can look for certain road signs, cows, motorcycles, and more until the winner gets five across for bingo. You’ll receive five different bingo cards to play on a long road trip.

You’ll receive a printable scavenger hunt bag cover, a clues sheet with directions, and a sheet where participants can mark off what they’ve found.

Travel Games for Airplanes

The one thing we try to avoid on airplanes is dropping things on the floor and in between the seats. No one, especially in today’s world, wants to dig into these crevices. And, we all know what happens when a child finds out that something is irretrievable — the friendly skies become a little less so.

So, travel games for airplanes need most pieces attached, large pieces that are easy to find, or use of something replaceable, like a pen. Fun games that kids love help time fly and keep the whole family sane during flight delays

24. Mad Libs

Recommended ages: 5+ (depending on the version)

So many Mad Libs, so little time! Make sure the ones you buy for younger kids are Mad Libs Junior because the stories are more relatable to little ones.

Regular Mad Libs (Dog Ate My Mad Libs, Diary of a Wimpy Kid Mad Libs, and more) are geared to the 8–12 years old range.

Just be mindful that there are adult Mad Libs versions that you will want to stay clear of for kids. Mad Libs for kids are a great way to kill time on the tarmac, while waiting for food in a restaurant, and in many more family vacation scenarios.

BUY ON AMAZON

25. Boogie Board

Recommended ages: Basically, if you can hold a pen, you’re good.

This isn’t really an organized game, but I’m such a fan of using LCD writing tablets for travel games that I have to mention it. The newest version, Boogie Board Jot, comes with a stylus that you write on the LCD screen with. The stylus is kept secured on the bottom of the tablet. The entire screen clears with the touch of a button.

We play hangman, and tic-tac-toe, and even use it as scratch paper for math homework. Like other game pieces, keep an eye on the stylus, which can be easy to drop. Or, pack extra styluses. Tuck it in a handbag or backpack for play anywhere.

26. The Cube

Recommended ages: 6+

Here’s a fun solo travel game to entertain while waiting for a plane to take off or to arrive at your road trip destination.

27. IQ Fit

Recommended ages: 6+

28. Melissa and Doug Flip to Win Travel Hangman

Recommended ages: 6–10

It is a wooden travel game with a dry erase board and 37 flip letters. The pen self-stores in the wood board. The fact that it has no loose pieces makes Flip to Win Travel Hangman a great travel game for kids.

The wood does make it a tad bit heavier than magnetic travel games. At least you don’t have to worry about the game pieces falling into cracks.

Free Travel Games for Kids and Adults

Fun on a family vacation doesn’t have to cost money, and this also goes for family travel games that are very easy to learn. Aside from being fun road trip games that don’t involve pieces to juggle in the car, you can play them at home or at your next party.

29. I Spy

I Spy can be played with two or more people anywhere. The game’s premise is that one person looks spies something that everyone can see and keeps it a secret for the other players to guess based on little revealed close or tips.

The player holding the secret gives clues by saying, “I spy with my little eye something that is [insert clue which could be color, shape, size, etc. ].” The other players try to guess what the secret object is. The player holding the secret responds only with yes or no. He or she will give another hint starting with, “I spy with my little eye something that is [clue].”

The cycle repeats until someone guesses correctly. That winner can then choose a secret object, and the game starts again.

30. 20 Questions

You can play 20 Questions with two or more players, but it’s best in a small group. The person who is “It” thinks of a person, place, or thing that is familiar to all players.

The rest of the players ask the “It” person up to 20 yes or no questions to figure out what the secret object is. If someone guesses the secret object correctly prior to 20 questions being asked, that person is the next “It.” Then, the game repeats itself.

31. Would You Rather

Would You Rather can also be played with two or more people and is a fun way to get to know someone. One player thinks of a question that has two possible outcomes.

It could be as simple as, “Would you rather eat ice cream or potato salad?” The person being asked the question provides the answer and asks another player a similar question.

32. The Alphabet Game

Younger kids, older kids, and adults can all play the alphabet game together on car trips. All players need to do is look out the window to spot things that start with each alphabet letter in sequence from A to Z.

Finally, don’t forget to arm yourself with a huge arsenal of knock-knock jokes for kids and car games for kids that are also very handy for lightening the mood on the go. I also now have a list of road trip activities and gear for kids.

15 Travel Games for Toddlers & Preschoolers

Sharing is caring!

We’ve been traveling full-time with our toddler since he was 14 months. Now he’s finally old enough to play travel games, so we created a list of our favorite travel games for toddlers.

We have long-haul flights to Costa Rica and Portugal in the next few months, so we wanted to have some fun travel games for toddlers. Travel toys are great, but we like to play games on flights

We’ve noticed our toddler stays focused more when interacting as a family, and games are a great way to keep your toddler entertained while flying.

Plus, I love playing board games. Growing up, I spent a lot of time playing board games with my siblings. Although our little guy doesn’t have siblings (yet), board games are a great way to bond as a family.

Airplane Travel Games for Toddlers

We spend a lot of time flying with a toddler.  One of our favorite ways to keep him from getting bored is games.

Playing games with our toddler on flights is a lot of fun and keeps the tantrums at bay (if he isn’t tired). It’s a screen-free activity that helps to pass the time, especially on long-haul flights.

These games are especially great for flying with toddlers because they do not make noise.

If you are a competitive family, I recommend only two-player games when flying. Save the competition for road trips, where you can be as loud as you want.

Disney Matching Game

The Disney Matching Game is a fun memory game for toddlers. It’s the perfect travel game for 3-year-olds.

There are different classic Disney characters/movies to choose from, including Raya, Toy Story 4, Frozen II, Doc McStuffins, Minnie Mouse, and more.

You can control the game’s difficulty by adding or removing tiles. There are over 70 tiles to help your little one develop their memory, focus, and critical thinking skills.

The tiles are the perfect size for little toddler hands. If your little one struggles to play face-down, you can flip them face-up and still have fun.

What I love about this game is that it promotes solo play; while also being a fun game for families with kids of all ages.

Melissa & Doug Classic Card Games Set

We love everything about the Melissa & Doug brand. Our travel toy guides have at least one toy, game, or activity from their brand. From quality to variety, they get it right.

The Melissa & Doug Classic Card Games Set is a fun collection of our favorite games from childhood.

This set includes Go Fish, Old Maid, and Animal Rummy. The classic card games we loved as kids, with better illustrations.

These cards are bigger than regular playing cards, so they can be found easily when your toddler drops them on the airplane or in the car.

The surface wipes clean, so your toddler can draw on these cards with a dry-erase marker, and they will wipe clean.

If you have a rough toddler (like us), these cards can withstand being bent by your little one because the card stock is thicker than other cards.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar Card Game

Our son LOVES the very hungry caterpillar book. He asks us to read it to him twice a day, once before naptime and again before bedtime.

At this point, he knows it by heart and usually resites it to us. It is one of the few toddler books that travel the world with us.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar Card Game is a fun compliment to the popular preschool book.

It’s a fun way to reinforce numbers and help your toddler learn the days of the week.

Kids as young as three years old can play this card game. The objective is to help the caterpillar transform into a beautiful butterfly.

Up to four players can play, so get the family involved; the more players, the more fun.

My First Bananagrams

My First Bananagrams is a fun travel game for preschoolers that helps them develop their reading skills and vocabulary.

The tiles have lowercase letters to help reinforce reading skills. Included are combo tiles to help your little ones build words.

The step-by-step instructions make it easy for your little ones to learn the game as they progress to play the full version of Bananagrams.

Indicators on the tiles distinguish letters such as b,d,w, and m. What’s great about this game is it grows with your toddler.

As your little one’s vocabulary and reading skills develop, they can still play this game.

UNO Junior

UNO is my all-time favorite card game. Every Christmand, my mom got my siblings and me a different version of the game as a “family present.”

Things got interesting when the electronic version first came out and shot cards at you. Those are some of my best memories from my childhood because we didn’t take many vacations.

Now that I’ve walked memory lane, I’m excited to play UNO Junior with our son now that he is older.

UNO Junior is a simplified version of the game for toddlers as young as 3-years-old. Even if your little one is still learning their numbers, they can match their characters from the Paw Patrol movie.

It’s a fun travel game for toddlers learning numbers and colors.

One rule remains the same. Your little one has to say “UNO” when they have one card left.

Road Trip Travel Games for Toddlers

Playing games on road trips is one of the best ways to pass the time. I am usually driving, so sometimes my wife sits in the back seat with our toddler to play some of our favorite toddler travel games.

What I love about these games is that we can be as loud as we want without disturbing anyone.

Some of these games also have small pieces we do not want to get on an airplane, but they’ll eventually be found in the backseat when we clean the car.

Pass the Potato

One of the ways we like to give our toddler a break when taking a long trip is by having fun outdoor activities when we make a stop. Most rest areas have a grass area or picnic tables for us to release energy.

Pass the Potato is a fun road trip game for toddlers when you pull over for a break. This new and improved game of hot potato is a fun way to stretch your legs and get everyone moving.

Throw the plush toy (like the game hot potato) as fast as you can; you do not want to be the one holding it when the timer goes off.

There is a sensor inside the toy to recognize the difference between a tap, toss, and shake. These gestures prompt over 30 funny phrases.

I’m sure parents will love how easy this plush toy is to clean. All you need to do is remove the sensor and throw it in the washer.

Found It! Travel Edition

Found It! Travel Edition is a fun interactive travel game for road trips with toddlers. There are different versions for different occasions, including camping, indoor, and outdoor.

This scavenger hunt-style game lets your preschooler learn on the go. It’s the perfect way to peel your kids from their screens and focus on their surroundings.

Each player has to yell ‘found it” after they spot the object. This toddler travel game makes the time on a long road trip fly by, especially if you play as a family.

There are 50 cards, so you can keep the fun going or use it on multiple road trips without getting tired of the same clues.

Remember, the first one with seven cards wins the game, so keep your eye peeled.

Connect 4 Grab and Go

Connect 4 Grab and Go isn’t a game for toddlers, but my wife and it play it all the time.

It is one of the travel games that we keep in our carry-on for long-haul flights. You can only watch so many movies or do so much work.

Our 3-year-old likes to pretend to play with us, so it’s fun he wants to get involved. Although this isn’t a game for toddlers, it can be a fun game for preschoolers or young school-age kids to play.

I Spy Dig In Game

I Spy Dig In Game is one of the best road trip games for busy toddlers. If your little one can’t sit still, this game will challenge them.

Race the clock to find the six objects on the card. It may be a little challenging because you not only need to find the object, but it has to be the right color.

If you have a competitive family or siblings close in age, this is a fun game for a long road trip.

Everything you need comes in the game, but having a clear container may make the game easier for younger toddlers.

If your little one is still learning their colors, they can look for the objects and disregard the color.

Travel Games for Toddlers at Hotels or Airports

One of the things that can quickly bring a vacation to a halt is rain, especially if you are on a beach vacation.

We’ve traveled to over ten countries, and our plans have been canceled many times because of unexpected rain.

Another unexpected, uncontrollable, annoying occurrence when traveling is delayed/ canceled flights.

Being stuck at an airport with a toddler is the worst, but having a few travel games can help the time pass and keep you from losing your mind.

Here are some of our favorite travel games for toddlers to play at your hotel, Airbnb, or during a long layover.

Monopoly Junior

Like most kids in our generation, I grew up playing Monopoly with my mom and siblings. Every few years, for Christmas, we received an upgraded version of the game.

I remember coming home from college, and there was an electronic version with debit cards instead of cash. No, thank you!!! I want the old-school version, and I am the banker.

After another stroll down memory lane, I am excited to play Monopoly Junior with my toddler.

I can tell you now; it’s going to be a fight to be the banker because he likes to hold all the money.

This version of Monopoly is simplified to help preschoolers understand the rules before playing the full version of Monopoly.

I love that this version is faster, so your little one doesn’t get bored while playing. There are up to four players, so it’s fun for the entire family.

Spot It! Finding Dory

Spot It! Finding Dory is a fun matching game that’s easy for toddlers to learn and play.

Our son loves playing this game. It is one of our favorite games to play on an airplane or at our Airbnb because it is quick to set up and easy to clean up.

This game has 30 unique symbols, but there is one that makes another card. The images are different sizes, but there is only one match.

It’s great because you can play again and again without getting bored.

No reading is required, so your little one can follow the pictures along the magical path to win the game.

I recommend taking this on your next family vacation, just in case there is a rainy day and you are stuck in your hotel room.

Only common nouns in the singular are used. It is forbidden to repeat the words mentioned earlier. For complication, you can choose a topic - for example, "transport", "animals", "food". nine0003

I know five names…

The child must name five items on a given topic. In the classic version, a ball is used, which, when naming each object, bounces off the floor once. If conditions do not allow playing with the ball, you can choose any other action accompanying naming that will rhythmize the child’s speech (for example, you can clap your hands or stamp your foot).

Magic word

First, you should agree on what words are considered "magic". “Magic” can be considered words starting with the letter “M” or any other letter (then the game will simultaneously develop the child’s phonemic hearing), or it can be words denoting birds, pets, etc.

You tell a story or say any words in a row. When pronouncing the “magic words”, the child must give a signal: to hit the table with his palm (raise his hand up or stand up).
