Travel Games

If you are going on vacation or away from home, bring along a travel game or two to pass the time. These can be especially handy if you are bringing kids or even teens along with you. Yeah, I know a book would keep one occupied but games would make even the most boring moments of the trip memorable.

As a child, and later, as a teen, I spent days in chalets with family friends. Besides the usual beach activities, we would keep ourselves occupied with games that were handy enough to fit into the hand luggage. Card games like Uno were a big favourite. Travel sets too were fun.

When all else failed, we used the pillows, bolsters and whatever we could find in the chalet for massive pillow fights. Those were among the happiest moments of my youth. Then when someone accidentally knocks down table lamp, we'd quietly walk out of the room with halos on our heads.

A travel game set would help you avoid such mishaps. Hotels and chalets or whatever lodgings you might use would have breakables lying around, which otherwise bored kids may break in their invented games. Something more sedentary would be lighter on your wallet. Hey, someone has to pay for the damages.

Travel chess would serve those who like mental challenges well. Get a selection of games so that all the stray kids and teens can be safely occupied in the slower moments.

Before you go for a vacation, stock on these travel games because they would help you keep the kids out of mischief.
