30 Car Ride Questions for Your Children

By Natanya Bertin | Publisher Macaroni KID New City - Nyack September 22, 2024


A long drive in the car was always an adventure with my siblings and cousins during my childhood. We would call out every license plate that whizzed by, sing made-up songs, and, if we were lucky, we'd catch a short nap-which, of course, never lasted long. The one thing constant among these road trips was the age-old question every child seems to ask: "Are we there yet?

Looking back, those moments weren't about the destination; it was the journey that bonded us together, and the conversation we had in between played a big role in it. That being said, as a parent, it's how you begin great road conversations that can give your kids memories to remember for a really long time after the journey is over. Now, here's the turn of 30 fun, engaging questions to get the conversation started on your next family road trip. You never know what profound thoughts, silly moments, and cherished memories you'll create along the way!
