Hi, friends! I’ve only got a quick post for you today. Tomorrow we leave for a family vacation and I can hardly contain my excitement! We are meeting my brother, sister-in-law, neice, and my mom there. I can hardly wait to have my toes in the sand!
We decided to drive instead of fly. It’s a 9.5 hour trip, so I have been hyper focused on kid-friendly, car-friendly activities to keep my people entertained. It’s been a few years since we have taken a road trip for this many hours, so I have no clue how its going to go.
Anyway, the whole reason for this post is because on my quest for road trip activities I came up with this idea of making a reusable hangman printable. I thought it would be a fun activity that could be easily passed from the front seat to the back seat. Once I got the Hangman gameboard done I asked myself, why stop with Hangman? I went ahead and created a few more printable road trip activities, such as Tic Tac Toe, Dots & Lines, and a new game called Lasso. I’m not sure if Lasso is new to the world, but it is new to me and I’m excited to play!
I think the printables turned out super cute (pats self on back). I really think we are going to get a lot of use out of them over the next week. If you want to grab a copy for yourself, keep on reading!

Reusable?? Tell Me How!
There are a few different ways to make these printable road trip activities reusable.
- Lamination. Have them laminated professionally at an office print shop or DIY it at home with self-adhesive lamination sheets.
- Pouch. Dry-Erase Pocket Sleeves are great for these kinds of things. They keep your papers organized as well. You can print and store all 4 of these printable road trip activities in the same sleeve. Just put whichever game you want to play on top.
- Plastic Bag. This is one option you may not have heard of before. Place the printable inside a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Use rubbing alcohol to remove any logo or print on the plastic bag. Voila. You have a homemade protective sleeve. It’s like a homemade dry-erase pocket sleeve.
- Print More. Honestly, you can always just print more copies. Not the most environmentally friendly option, but an option nonetheless.
