Road trips can be a fun, cost-effective way to travel. But they can also be the worst—especially with kids in the backseat, crying, screaming, and asking the dreaded, “Are we there yet?” question. To keep your road adventure from spiraling out of control, you’ll want to keep an arsenal of kid-friendly entertainment at the ready—and we don’t mean iPads or iPhones. Below, our 9 favorite car games for kids, from an self-contained origami kit to a magnetic chess board.
