Free Printable UK Car Bingo for Road Trips

To play car Bingo, you need to spot as many of these items as you can from looking out of the window.

The first person to complete a whole line (whether row or column) wins!

There are 5 different car bingo boards available in this set.

Alphabet Car Game Printable for Road Trips

This game is about spotting different things beginning with each letter, to complete the whole alphabet. It’s kind of a twist on the classic I Spy game – but you race to complete the whole alphabet.

You could also give points to the best or most unusual item spotted for each letter.

Classic Pen and Paper Game Consequence

This is a classic paper game, whether in the car or at home. I remember playing it often as a child. It always results in lots of giggles!

Draw one section of the sheet, fold it and pass it on so that the next person doesn’t know what you have drawn. When it’s unfolded, you can get some really funny creations!

There are five starter sheets for you to print and use for your consequence games and you can also make up your own!

Car Search Car Logo Recognition Printable Game

If your kids are interested in different types of cars, this is always a good one.

Look out of the windows and keep a count of how many of each car you can spot. Who will find the most?
