Activity books
Themed workbooks that collect many pages in one printable book.
More about this collection
Pack a clipboard or a hard book to lean on, a pencil case with a few pencils, and a mix of easy and harder pages. Hand them out one at a time rather than all at once. And print a bingo card for the car: the first to spot a red lorry, a cow and a bridge wins.
If your child gets travel-sick, colouring and close-up puzzles may make it worse. Choose spotting games, listening to stories or I spy out of the window instead, and save the paper activities for breaks and the hotel.
How to use these
- Use a clipboard so pages stay flat on a lap.
- Hand out one page at a time and keep some for the trip home.
- Print transport bingo cards for the whole car to play.

Questions and answers
What are good activities for a long car journey?
Spotting games, audio stories, simple puzzles like mazes and I spy, and colouring for children who do not feel travel-sick. Avoid long reading if your child gets car-sick.
Can I use these on a plane?
Yes. Pencil puzzles are ideal on planes because they are quiet and need little space.
Are these printables free?
Yes. Every sheet marked Free can be printed or played as often as you like, at home or in class. Premium activity books are marked.

Open a sheet and choose Print. It fits A4 and US Letter paper. Most sheets can also print with an answer key on a separate page.
Can children do them on a tablet?
