Keep your kids entertained on your next family vacation with this fun printable Travel Bingo game!

As you know we do a lot of traveling with our kids. This often means hours traveling with 3 small kids in a small confined space. We have found that a key to smooth travel days with our kids is making sure we are prepared. Each of our kids always travels with their own Travel bag filled with snacks and entertainment essentials (like a Kindle loaded with movies, games, and apps along with headphones). You can learn more about how to set up the perfect kids Travel bags here. 

In addition to their individual travel bags, we have found that its a great idea (especially for Car Travel days) to have some other fun games for the whole family to enjoy together. I am currently working on creating some game binders for our car but to start with I had my husband create some fun Travel Bingo cards.

You can either print out new pages for each trip so the kids can use a pen or pencil to mark off each square or laminate them so the same cards can be used over and over again with dry/wet erase markers or crayons. Personally, I plan to laminate mine.

Get Printable Travel Bingo Here

The Best part of Travel Bingo is that it can be played along for fun or together with the whole family. It can also be played two different ways.

• You can play in the car, marking off each square as you see each of the signs.
• We have provided a page cut out squares with all the bingo signs as well as tokens so you can play in the traditional manner.

My husband went a little over board with all the different variations for this Bingo set.  The PDF has 19 printables pages (including tokens and bingo cut out icons) with 30 different half page sized Bingo boards. This printable game is ready to print at home or at your local copy center. But That just means you have more play variations!

More about travel bingo

Travel bingo is an engaging and entertaining game perfect for adding excitement to any journey. Whether you’re on a road trip, flying, or simply exploring a new city, travel bingo can transform your travel experience into an interactive adventure.

What are travel bingo cards?

Travel bingo cards are specially designed bingo cards that feature various items, landmarks, or experiences you might encounter while traveling. Each card is unique, offering a diverse range of sights and activities, from spotting a red car to seeing a historical monument.

How to play travel bingo

Standard bingo rules.

• Objective : The main goal is to find and mark off a set row of items on your bingo card.
• Gameplay : As you travel, keep an eye out for the items listed on your card. When you spot one, mark it off.
• Winning : The first player to complete a row (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) shouts “Bingo!” and wins the game.

Variation: Picture bingo

• Objective : Instead of marking items off, take a photo of them.
• Winning : The first player to collect photos of a complete row wins.

Variation: Storytelling bingo

• Objective : Create a story using the items you spot.
• Gameplay : Each time you mark off an item, add a sentence to your story involving that item.
• Winning : At the end of the trip, players share their stories, and the most creative story wins.

Variation: Time challenge bingo

• Objective : Complete a row within a set time limit.
• Gameplay : Set a timer (e.g., one hour) and try to spot the items before time runs out.
• Winning : The player who marks off the most items when the timer ends wins.

Customizing your travel bingo cards

You can create your own travel bingo cards tailored to your destination. For a beach trip, include items like seashells, surfboards, or lighthouses. For city tours, list landmarks, street performers, or unique architectural features.

Benefits of playing travel bingo

• Enhanced travel experience : Travel bingo encourages exploration and observation, making trips more memorable.
• Family-friendly fun : It’s an excellent way for families to engage together during travel.
• Educational : Children can learn about different sights, cultures, and history in a fun and interactive way.

Travel bingo is a versatile and enjoyable game that can be adapted to any journey. It’s a fantastic way to make your travel experiences more engaging and enjoyable for people of all ages. So, grab your Travel Bingo cards and start your adventure!

Hi, guys!  Today I want to share a few fun tips for traveling with kids and a fun new road trip game, Travel Bingo!! 

So many parents are intimidated by the thought of long road trips or traveling great distances with little ones.  I’m not gonna lie, it’s not easy, but it doesn’t have to be awful!  Believe it or not, it can actually be fun!  WIth the right mindset and little extra planning you and your family can have an amazing time traveling to some really cool places!  

If you are here only for the Travel Bingo printable, go ahead an scroll to the bottom.  However, if you are here for a few extra traveling tips – keep on reading!! 

Road Trip Tips

At this point in our family life, we have tackled quite a few road trips.  Our first road trip as a family was when my son was 6 months old.  We drove 12 hours to visit family in Florida.  All I can say about that road trip is…wow!  That trip was a doozy!  However, with each and every road trip things get a little bit easier (plus your kids are always a bit older, which makes things easier too).

One thing I’ve learned through the years is to really be thoughtful about the things you bring.  At first, I would try to think of every possible scenario and pack accordingly.  However, that usually resulted in me packing way too much stuff.  The thing with packing too many things is that it’s difficult to stay organized, which results in an extra messy car.  Also, the kids can be overwhelmed if they have too many options to choose from.  So, b e strategic about what you bring.  

I posted a while back about my tips for traveling with kids (which you can check out in full here ), but the gist of it goes like this: 

• When the kids are babies/toddlers, have an adult sit in the back seat with them. 
• Never stop when the kids are sleeping. 
• Alternate driving responsibilities.
• Pit stop snacks are a great reward.
• Take time to stretch your legs. 
• Adjust your expectations and slow down. 
• All the electronics!

Road Trip Fun

• Games : Travel Bingo (obviously), “I’m Going On A Picnic…”, the Alphabet Game, 
• Podcasts : Most adults listen to podcasts these days, but did you know there are also podcasts geared towards kids and families?  Click here and here for a few suggestions! 
• Screentime : A long road trip is not the time or place to limit screen time!! Tablets, video games, movies, etc – I welcome them all in our vehicle!! 
• Books – iSpy books are fun for a long road trip! Also, the time stuck together might be a good time for tackling a read-aloud chapter book ! 
• Random Toys :  The littlest things are fun on road trips.  Here are a few ideas to get you started here and here !! Also, this post by Thrifty Frugal Mom has a great list of little things you should definitely check out.  Post-It notes is my favorite suggestion! 
• Snacks – You can never have too many snacks!! Bring all the snacks.  The only advice I have is to think about the ease of eating and the mess involved.  
• Travel Bingo Printable

One fun and easy road trip activities that your kids are sure to love is Travel Bingo!  To make things even easier for you I’ve created a FREE Travel Bingo Printable for you! Add your name and email to the form below and the printable will be delivered shortly after to your inbox.  Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!

Free Travel Bingo Cards

Our family loves games. And road trips. And playing games on road trips. In my kids’ minds, the more competitive the challenge, the better. So I designed some FREE Travel Bingo Cards to use on our next road trip.

Which, with states starting to open again after prolonged COVID lockdowns, will hopefully happen sooner rather than later.

I made five different versions of these travel bingo cards. For younger kids who want to cooperate to get five in a row, just print multiple copies of only one design.

For older kids who’d rather race to see who can get a bingo first, print all five and let them take their pick.

If you anticipate using the cards multiple times on multiple road trips, as we do, you will need to laminate them first. ( The laminator I use is worth its weight in gold. As a homeschool mom, I use it all the time.)

Be sure to pack a few dry erase markers to use in marking the cards.

Want more fun ideas for traveling with children? Then check out my book, Pack Up & Leave . It’s chock full of tips that will make your next trip more enjoyable, economical, and educational!

Everyone loves Bingo and with these Free Road Trip Bingo Printables you will be set to enjoy plenty of games with friends and family!

Pages 1-10 are all different boards so up to 10 people can play.

Page 11 and 12 have all of the pictures on them with words to explain what each picture is just in case it isn’t clear. They are meant to print out and be taken along in case they are needed.

Most are very clear but ones like a luggage rack with something on it may not be. Road kill is another that isn’t really clear. I purposely made that one unclear, lol.

When we played this game way back when, I had typed up rules for several of the items. I will add them for you below under “Items on the List”. Use them if you like them and if you don’t, feel free to do it your way of course.

If you are in a different part of the country or a different country totally, some of these may not work this way at all. These worked for us and lest our competitive natures got the best of us, we had them written out.

When we played this as a family many years ago, it was handwritten. I didn’t have the internet tools I do now. We had a lot of fun with it and passed many hours in the car with this game.

I hope you love this game as much as we did!

Follow my  Traveling with Kids Pinterest Board  for dozens of ideas from all around the web! I am constantly finding new things to add so there will be new things all the time!

What you need to Play the Game

–A Caller: Usually someone would pull cards from a hat or bowl and call out what is to be covered on each card. In the case of Road Trip Bingo, the “Caller” is what is outside the vehicle’s windows!

Look all around! Look at other vehicles, IN other vehicles, on other vehicles, along the sides of the road, to the sides, in front of you, behind you, close by and far out!

–At least 2 players.

–1 Bingo card per player. That is the basic version.

If you want to make it challenging, you can also give players more than 1 card.

You can also play with teams if you have young players or are on a bus with more people than cards.

–Some sort of tokens or markers to keep track of what has been called.

If you are going the disposable route with your cards, just checking off the items with a pen, marker or dot marker is fine.

In this case of Road Trip Bingo, I definitely recommend using a pen or marker instead of tokens. Tokens won’t work at all. An even better idea and fun, would be stickers to apply when an item is found.

(The only problem with stickers is that there is no way to verify that it was done correctly at the end of the game if that is needed. Maybe very small stickers to be put in the square so that the picture can still be seen would be an idea.)

You can also laminate your cards to use them over and over and use a dry erase marker.

How to play Bingo

Each player is given a Bingo card and something to mark the spaces when they find the items.

The winner is the first person to get 5 in a row in any direction. If you want to make it more challenging or take longer, make it so they need to get 5 in a row in TWO directions.

You could even play that whoever fills their card first wins. That would make the game last even longer.

Everyone covers the FREE SPACE in the middle of their card.

Review the rules of the game before starting. Decide for example, whether someone can count more than 1 item in the same area.

A construction area may have a construction sign, a dump truck, a crane, and a port-a-pot all very close to each other. May someone cross off all 4 within that close area? Yes? No? It is your game. You decide. Just decide before you begin playing so everyone knows.

And while the construction example may not be allowed, that person may be allowed to get one of those items out of the right hand window and a school bus passing you in the left hand window because that is different. Just make it clear.

The winner is the first to complete the winning line or lines and shouts BINGO!

The items on the Road Trip Bingo List

American flag; a real flag, picture or magnet on a car

Bike; any bicycle but not tricycles, dirt bikes or motorcycles

Boat; any boat, even a canoe in the water, being towed or sitting in a yard

Bucket truck; any truck with a bucket for someone to stand inside of

Camper; the kind that is towed, not a motor home

Car carrier; must be carrying at least one car

Cow; a real cow, not a picture on a billboard, etc.

Crane; the machine, not a bird

Cross; any cross—on a church, a memorial, in a cemetery, etc.

Construction sign; an orange sign warning of road work, etc.

Convertible; decide ahead of time if the top must be down or not; some seasons you just won’t find one with the top down but if it is a nice day, the top should have to be down

Dog; a real dog, no pictures like on a greyhound bus

Full luggage rack; just so there is something on it

Handicap license plate; the symbol on the license plate, not a hanging sign on a mirror

Jeep; any vehicle with “Jeep” on it

Overpass; road that goes over the road

Police car; police CAR, not motorcycle, truck, etc.

Road kill; does not have to be recognizable, just must have been alive at one point; no tire pieces, trash, etc.

School bus; long or short but must be orange

Someone eating/drinking; must be outside your own vehicle

Taxi; must be labeled as “taxi”

Train; any part of a train; engine or cars, moving or still, but track doesn’t count

Tractor; farm tractor, mowing tractor or even lawn tractor; on its own tires or being towed is fine

Water; any water—a puddle, lake, ocean, even a raindrop on the windshield

How to Print some but not all of the pages

There are 12 total pages here and you are welcome to all of them. If you don’t want to print them all, this is what you do:

When you hit the print button, you should get a pop-up page with options. It could also make you ask with a “3 dot” deal or a v to see more or even words that say “more options”.

One option will be whether you wish to print all of the pages or just some of them. You can type all or 1 or 1,3 or 3-5 or whatever pages you would like to print.

Ideas to print and preserve your printables:

Printing, writing on them and disposing is the quickest and easiest use of a printable of course, but there are other options if you choose.

Laminate them:

If you would like to print them once and use them year after year, you can laminate them and use dry erase markers to write on them. Then just file them away until next year. This is a great idea if you use them for a classroom year after year or for multiple classes hour after hour.

White Card Stock and Dry Erase Pockets:

A quicker and easier solution to a disposable printable if you don’t wish to laminate is printing on white card stock and slipping them into dry erase pockets. Children enjoy using colored markers and erasing when they are finished. They can do the same one over and over if they wish and even improve their speed. The pockets can be used for different cards and the cards filed away until ready to use again.

These printables are free for personal, home and classroom use. This means you are welcome to print as many copies as you need for use with your own kids, personal classroom, etc. Please do not mass produce these. Please refer fellow teachers or friends to this website to print off their own copies for their use.

Need a fun game for adults, teenagers and older kids to play while traveling? This free Road Trip Bingo Printable is a unique way to keep everyone entertained for a long time.

Two weeks ago, 14 of us landed in LAX to take a Los Angeles to San Francisco road trip up the Pacific Coast Highway.

You read that right- 14 family members total! 4 adults, 6 teenagers, 1 pre-teen, 2 toddlers and 1 baby.

As you can imagine, it was a bit of a zoo lol. But it was totally fun and I’d go again in a heartbeat.

Because this trip was intentionally designed to take it slow up Highway 1 and appreciate the coast of California, we were in the car a lot! And as you can imagine, it’s natural to get restless.

Naturally, this is where games come in. Some good ol’ bingo, anyone?

The thing about classic road trip bingo is that it is over way too quickly. A red car… a traffic light…a person jogging….BINGO. It can’t hold the attention of an adult or teenager for long. For one thing, everyone has the same thing on their bingo board. And another thing, the words are just too easy.

That’s why I came up with this remixed version of bingo that adults, teenagers and preteens can all play without getting bored super quickly. It can be an ongoing game that is played for several hours as you hunt for all of the unique things that you’ve written down.

Here’s how to play:

This bingo game starts off with an empty bingo board.

• “red car speeding” (instead of just “red car”)
• “young man skating”
• “tall lady wearing a hat”

Here’s an example of a bingo board getting filled in….

• At the end, everyone should have their own individual and unique bingo board.
• It’s time to start the game. Everyone should be on the lookout to find the exact matches to the phrases they wrote down. For accountability purposes, at least one other person should confirm what you saw.
• The first person to connect bingo wins. Feel free to have a 2nd place, 3rd place, etc

(To make it extra compelling, I offered a cash prize which, of course, got the teenagers onboard haha).

Funny thing – we had to draw our bingo boards on scrap paper and paper towels.

So when I came back, I got the idea to tell you about this fun game and design a printable that you can print off before your trip so that you don’t have to use paper towels like we did lol. Download it below and then print.

This is a fun game that can be played during any type of travel, not just road trips. For example, this would be an entertaining activity for international travel or a long stopover at the airport.

I really really hope that you have fun with this road trip bingo printable! If you end up playing this version of travel bingo, comment below! I’d love to know what you think!

Holiday Travel Bingo: Free printables for family travel this holiday

Holiday travel: Chances are, you probably look forward to it all year and simultaneously stress over it once November and December arrive. I don’t blame you. Crowds, delays, winter weather and excited/overstimulated/sugared out kids can all add to the overwhelm. This year adds a whole other layer of complexity as we navigate how to celebrate safely. I can’t magically wave a wand and make your trip effortless, but I can share these free printables for Holiday Travel Bingo cards!

My own kiddos love playing while we travel. If we’re in an airport, chances are we’re playing I Spy or even Hide and Seek, if the terminal isn’t too full. But when I break out the physical games and printables, that’s when Max and Edie get truly excited.

I have a feeling your kids might be the same. So simply download and print out these Holiday Travel Bingo games before your next trip. If you’re sitting, you can use anything to mark the squares—coins work well. Or if you’re en route, kids can X the squares off with a crayon or pencil. Either way, this free holiday Bingo game will help pass the time for the whole family!

I’m crossing my fingers for you and smooth travels, zero delays and friendly seat mates. But don’t leave your kids’ travel entertainment to chance. Use these Holiday Travel Bingo games to keep your whole family feeling merry and bright this holiday season.

It’s not just you—holiday travel IS busy

On average, travel is about a quarter busier than average around Christmas. And last year, an estimated third of Americans traveled during the holidays. That’s 112.5 million people on the roads, rails, runways—maybe even sleigh trails— according to AAA .

I’m not sharing those stats to scare you into staying home! I’m just validating your sneaking suspicion that holiday travel really is busier than normal.

The potential of winter weather delays also makes holiday travel feel busier than normal. (After all, when people aren’t moving when expected, that means roads and airports are more congested.)

One study researched a year’s worth of data on weather delays and found these to be the most delayed airports in the US:

Worst U.S. Airports for Weather Delays

• San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
• Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR)
• Chicago O’Hare international Airport (ORD)

Now you can’t always choose which airport to fly out of, and you can’t miraculously change the weather in your region. But if you are flying out of one of these hubs, keep in mind winter weather delays are more likely than not. Then make sure you’re prepared—including having things on hand to keep kids entertained, like this Holiday Travel Bingo game!

Holiday Travel Bingo game to keep kids entertained

So much of parenthood is recognizing the difference between what you can control and what you can’t, then moving on from there.

Family travel is the same. You can’t control snow and ice, nor can you control how many other people hit the road when you do. But you can control what you plan to keep your kids entertained during holiday travel.

So why wouldn’t you want these free Holiday Travel Bingo cards? They’re easily portable, so you can bring them along wherever you go. They have a good mix of festive and regular travel squares. They’re usable for air travel as well as road trips. (If you’re driving, make sure to be on the lookout during rest stops and potty breaks!)

How to use this holiday Bingo printable

Travel can be complicated. You have to book your trip, get to the airport on time or pack up the minivan for a road trip, deal with traffic and other delays, and keep track of everything from boarding passes to your actual children.

Luckily, using my holiday Bingo printable is easy peasy lemon squeezy (or “easy peasy yemon deezy,” as Maxine says, with her adorable pronunciation).

Here’s how to make the most of this free travel Bingo printable:

• Sign up to get the free holiday Bingo printable delivered to your email inbox—right away!
• Print the holiday Bingo cards. I think color is more fun and festive, but black and white is fine, too. Print the right number of cards for the people in your family. The PDF you’ll get includes 4 different cards!
• [optional step] Laminate the Bingo cards. This is a great option if your trip is long, or if you want to play holiday travel Bingo on the way to and from your destination. Bonus tip: If you laminate, bring along dry erase markers, which you can erase from laminated pages and then reuse!
• Hand out the holiday Bingo cards to everyone in your family who wants to play. They can mark off squares with crayons or use coins or pompoms as markers.
• Decide if there will be a prize. You might want to stash some Hershey’s Kisses for winners, or dole out little toys. Or you can just play for funsies!

Make holiday travel easier with fun and games

No matter if you’re visiting loved ones this holiday or going on a getaway that doesn’t involve family and friends, I know you’ll agree you could use all the help you can get making holiday travel a tad bit easier.

I’ve definitely been there, after all. I know firsthand that smoother winter travel makes for a better family trip overall. So I am sure you’ll have as much fun playing this free holiday Bingo game as I did creating it!

Why travel is the best way to bond with kids (+ vacation family activities)

Love travel bingo!! We’re staying home for the winter holidays, but I keep wanting to go overseas this time of year and check out the Christmas markets one holiday season. These travel bingo cards would be great for the little ones!!

Oh my goodness the internet is going crazy over Christmas markets! I’ve never been to one so am sort of confused… maybe something to do next year. 😉 Enjoy your lovely holiday at home, Marlynn!

What a fun idea for the little ones! We’re embarking on a 10+ hour road trip this Christmas with my boys. I’ve been researching loads of things to keep them busy during the long drive. This one may be tricky to do in the car with wobbly laps, but I’m definitely willing to give it a shot! Thanks for the idea 🙂

Oh Mary, you are brave! I’ll be thinking of you on your road trip. While some of the items on the holiday bingo are more geared toward airports, this is definitely doable on a road trip, too! We use clipboards for laps in the car, and you can also bring the Bingo printable out with you during rest stops and food breaks. Again, good luck and happy holidays!

How cute are those?! I always loved playing bingo in the car back in the days when we didn’t have iPads, etc. Definitely need to bring this back!

Haha, pre-iPad life is hard to remember! I loved playing games on road trips with my family, too – so glad to help pass along that time-old tradition. 🙂

I love this festive idea! I’ve decided not to travel this year as a safety precaution – the Canadian government is asking Canadians to stay home so we can keep the pandemic under control, and hoping Canadians do. But! I’m going to share this with my sister so that we can play a game of bingo over video call, with her kids! I instead of travel bingo, virtual bingo. Thanks for sharing!

Erin, I’m obsessed with that idea! I want to figure out a way to play virtual Bingo with my loved ones this holiday, too. Thank you for the inspiration!!! Stay well.

This seems like a really fun and interesting idea, perfect for have a great time with family and friends. Thanks for sharing these ideas!

You’re very welcome! Always glad to meet another family games lover!

Parenting Resources for Raising Your Son from Boy to Man

Printable Travel Bingo Cards

Road trip season is coming and if you are preparing to hit the open road with your family, you will need to bring along some entertainment like these printable travel Bingo cards .  You can probably imagine that traveling with 4 boys isn’t always a walk in the park for me.  In fact, sometimes I feel as though I can’t even make it to the grocery store with my boys without almost losing my mind.    Road trips can get loud and chaotic if I’m not prepared with something for them to do, especially when you are enclosed in a vehicle and you can’t get away from the noise!

Printable Travel Bingo

Printable Travel Bingo is fun because it can keep kids entertained while they look out the window instead of just staring at a screen the entire time you are driving.  Use candy as the game pieces or laminate your Bingo cards and use a dry-erase marker to keep track of the items that your kids spot.

I have two different travel Bingo cards available for printing and these cards are geared towards younger kids, but anyone can join in the fun! Have some little prizes or treats available for the person who gets the first Bingo of 4 in a row.  Or mix things up and give the kids a challenge of making an X in the middle of the board or getting all of the corners filled.  The great things about Bingo, is you can be as creative or even silly as you want.

I hope you love this printable travel Bingo game and if you are heading out on the open road, have a wonderful time!!

Keep Your Kids From Asking “Are We There Yet?” With a Simple Fun Car Ride Game

Mom confession: We haven’t taken our kids on a vacation in a long time. Mostly because neither #DoneWithFun Daddy nor I find traveling with kids to be much of a vacation.

It’s more of a production — packing, entertaining, eating out, sleeping in one hotel room, deviating from all our routines… None of the things that my kids particularly excel at.

But they are getting older and I’m getting stir-crazy so we’re hopping in the car over the long 4th of July weekend for a little family round trip to St. Louis. The drive is under 5 hours — should be easy-peasy, right?

Well. Maybe. Let’s just say that the last time we drove to Lake Geneva, I was asked approximately eleventy-seven billion times if we were there yet — all within the first 30 minutes. Patience is a virtue, and one my kids don’t have yet.

Enter Road Trip Bingo: An easy way to entertain your kids on a long or short car ride — they look out the window, searching for items to cross off their cards. You put your head back, close your eyes, and relax for a minute. Just download my cute free printable below and cross your fingers that it buys you some time in between the “are we there yet?”s.

Happy road trippin’!

What You’ll Need

• Bingo cards for all players (free printable includes 8 unique cards)
• Colored dot stickers or other small stickers for marking off card
• Bingo daubers or something to write with (optional)
• Assorted small prizes or candy

Download free printable:  #NeverDoneWithFun Road Trip Bingo  (PDF)

How to Play

Print out cards and distribute them to all passengers in the car. (Sorry, the driver is exempt from this game for safety!)

If you have small kids and you don’t trust them with markers or pens in the car, distribute colored sticky dots or small stickers that can be used to mark off the items they spot.

If you have older kids, Bingo daubers or markers are an easy way to cross off what they see.

All players look out the window and cross off the items they see! Call them out when you spot them — if other players spot them too, they can mark them off their card as well. First one to spot a full row wins Bingo!

Keep playing over and over again until you reach your destination. 😉

Tips for Success

• Print out multiple set of Bingo cards. Since you’ll either be writing on the cards or sticking stickers over the items you see, you won’t be able to reuse them.
• Don’t discard your card after the first Bingo. Keep going for multiple rows, or work toward filling the whole card for an extra prize!
• Have a selection of small prizes at the ready: toys, games or coloring books from the Target Dollar Spot or dollar store; new-to-you (i.e., used) books; and of course, candy.
