Games on the Go – Lonely Planet Kids review

Games on the Go is the fabulous new card game available from Lonely Planet Kids.

The Blurb

“Are we there yet?”

Banish the boredom of long car journeys and big trips with Games on the Go, a fun and colourful mix of spotting games, drawing challenges, word searches, dingbats and more.

A must-pack addition on any family trip, it fits easily inside hand luggage and can be deployed in seconds! Comes with 40 wipe-clean cards and a dry-erase pen, all stored in a small, handy box.

Games include:

• Road trip bingo
• Turning fingerprints into colourful friends
• Amazon rainforest-themed crossword
• Wildlife watching
• Drawing suitcase contents
• Dingbats and puzzles
• Mazes
• Drawing favourite meals
• Making star constellations
• Designing flags
• Noughts and crosses
• Drawing city skylines

Our Verdict.

This was a big hit with the kids before we even left the house. The little box contains loads of different activities, so there is something for everyone.

The game cards are all kept neatly inside the box and the pen fits in the side. On the end of the pen there is an eraser, so when you’re done you can wipe it away and someone else can have a turn.

Some of the puzzles and games are easier than others and many different skill sets are exercised. It’s a sure boredom buster, especially on car journeys.

It’s great for one child but I’m going to get more wipe clean pens so my three children can share them on our trip next week. There are plenty of cards to choose from, and the fact that you can wipe them clean means there will be no arguing if they want to do the same activities.

In fact, I am going to buy these coloured pens for them.
