I love summer road trips. We just returned from visiting my family, which is about 20 hours by car one way. We drive up a few times a year, and we are continually tweaking our system to make the trip as easy as possible. We don’t watch many movies, even though we have a built in movie player. Our trip is viewed as “captive family time.” I plan lots of fun activities, we play games, do crafts and hopefully enjoy spending time together:) We have been blessed with 3 wonderful travelers. Over the next few days I will be sharing what our car looks like and what types of things we do together to make the time go quickly.
Road trip bingo is a classic car game for families and if you’re looking for road trip printables, this is a simple and fun way to pass the time in the car with children! When we drove across the country in December of 2014 to get back to North Carolina, our children watched such a ridiculous amount of Doc McStuffins, you would hardly. Although anyone can play these Road Trip Bingo printable cards, but these are a perfect fun activity for kids. Since these are prefilled bingo cards, kids will be able to recognize different road signs and vehicles, while trying to match each of the images. These can be printed in black and white, but are more fun when printed in color. Download and Print Free Road Trip Bingo Cards Entertain the kids (or adults) on a long drive.

One of the things that the kids love to do is play travel bingo. Although, most free printable travel bingo games are usually designed with only 4 boards. Boo! We like options, so I got out my sharpie and set to work. This is my first printable pdf so hopefully this works.
I created 8 different Bingo boards. Each board has the same objects just in different spots. I like to laminated our Bingo boards which makes them reusable. When you find an object on your Bingo board, simply cross off with a dry erase marker. Once someone has won, wipe all the boards clean with a cloth. Like with regular Bingo, before you start determine what type of Bingo you will be playing.
I would love to hear where you played my Bingo game. It would be interesting to know how far it has traveled and where it has been played.

Road Trip Bingo is a super fun and easy way to keep kids occupied during long car rides. All you need is these printable cards and a crayon, pencil, or marker to enjoy a peaceful car ride while the kids hunt for signs and vehicles.
How to Play Road Trip Bingo
Road Trip Bingo is a lot like traditional bingo. The main difference is that you don’t need a caller to announce the square to mark off/cover. Instead, kids scan their surroundings through the car window to find signs and items to mark on their cards.
Bingo Patterns
Depending on how long your car ride is, you can play a variety of different Bingo games with these Road Trip Bingo Cards. Here are a few suggestions of different bingo patterns to try for:
- Single Line – Mark off all five squares in a straight line. The line can be vertical, horizontal, or diagonal.
- Four Corners – Mark off the four corners of the board (top left square, top right square, bottom left square, bottom right square).
- X – Mark off BOTH 5-square diagonals to form a large “X”.
- Box – Mark off all the squares along the outer edge of the card (top row, bottom row, far left column, far right column).
- Blackout – Mark off all of the squares on the card.
Bingo Competitions
If you have more than one child, they can compete to see who can get bingo first. The winner can choose where to sit in the car (where safe), what song or station to play on the radio, or where to stop for a snack or meal.
A child can compete against himself by seeing how many squares he can mark off each trip or during each leg of a long trip.
How to Print These Road Trip Bingo Cards
If you want, you can simply print the road trip bingo cards on plain printer paper. The cards are sized for letter-sized paper, with two cards per page.
I like to print mine on cardstock so they are sturdier. Then, I laminate them so we can reuse them.
If you don’t have a laminator, you can use self-adhesive sheets or just slide the pages into page protectors. Then, the kids can use dry erase markers to mark their cards. Wipe off with a napkin and you’ve got a clean board ready for a new game!
I actually prefer transparency markers since they don’t wipe off on the kids hands when they rest their hands on the bingo cards. You need a wet wipe to clean the cards off though.
Road Bingo Printables
You can clip the bingo cards onto these small clipboards and keep the marker in the pen holder to make it travel-ready.

Each of the four cards in this set is unique. Other than the free space in the center of each card, none of the items appear on more than one card.
If you have one child, this allows him or her to play a completely different version of the game on four different road trips.
If you have more than one child, this means each child will be looking for different items so no squabbles about who spotted something first.
