Are We There Yet?
Try grappling with the Are we there yet? questions with a little diversionary questioning of your own. Ask your child questions about how far you’re traveling. Yards? Miles? Kilometers maybe? How fast are we going? If it’s 3:15 now, and it takes us two hours to get there, what time will we arrive? How far have we gone?
Some of the other activities you might try while in transit is to have the kids watch for numbers on streets and buildings, phone numbers on the sides of trucks and other vehicles, dates on buildings, or business signs with numbers in them.
Great ideas and I especially liked your “Are We There Yet” suggestions!
