Airplane Games : 11 Best Activities for Kids

Bananagrams

Bananagrams is an engaging game which is somewhat similar to Scrabble but it is played without a board. In this every player takes the same number of letters, leaving the remainder face down in the bunch. Then someone yells “Split” and each player flips their tiles over and uses them all as they race to make their own word grits. At the end whoever finishes it first, he shouts “Bananas”. This is a super interesting game for your kid to play anywhere.

In this you have blocks of different shapes and an outline of the final picture. Your kid will have to place all the blocks with each other in proper place and all of them need to fix with each other to make out the final picture.

Magna Doodle

This game is small in size that makes it very easy to carry and also it’s one of the favorite games of kids these days. In this first, there is a magic pen that draws a dark line on the Magna doodle screen but does not draw anything else and then there’s the eraser that can clean the entire sheet once you slide it. It also contains some shapes like triangles, square etc. to make it even more interesting.

You can download games like Temple run, Candy crush, Color Road, Piano Tiles etc. to keep your kid occupied. Children these days are extremely addicted to mobile games.

Other important things

Along with games, you must also carry some other necessary things with you to the airplane. If your child suffers from some particular allergy or problem then don’t forget to keep the related medicines, also, it is best to keep some of the common medicines too like of fever, loose motions, cough and cold, headache etc. Keep wet wipes or baby wipes along with you. You can also encourage them to write on the plane about their experiences. All in all, keep them engaged. You can also take some precaution by writing your contact number and name on their hand, just in case if they get lost.

Once you have packed some interesting games and have taken the necessary precautions, you are all set to board with minimum tension and worry.
