Travel Bingo for Kids Ages 5+, Car Game with 4 Pads & Pencils That Makes Road Trips Fun & Builds Observation Skills

This games is lots of fun to play for short or long trips!The game comes in a hard, durable "slide box" that opens from the bottom. There are four pads & matching pencils in four colors: orange, blue, green and pink.Each pad has lots of the same images on it, but a few a different. For instance, the blue pad is the only one that doesn't have a tollgate, a tractor or an airplane image; the orange pad is the only one that doesn't have a pickup truck or a river image; the pink pad doesn't have a cow image; and the green and pink pad don't have a white picket fence image.It's a really fun game, and the only downfall I see is once you use up your pads, you have to buy a new game. There are no replacement pads. In an effort to make the game more interesting and to save the pads for as long as possible, you can play different variations of Bingo. Such as Blackout, "X", or 2 Row Bingo or whatever!No instructions come with the game other than this saying on the back:See it!Mark it!Make a row!... First one done yellsBINGO!Well if you're playing with someone competitive like MY husband, make sure you establish the rules BEFORE you start the game. Like, is a river and a bayou the same thing? What is a bridge? Does it HAVE to go over water or can an overpass count? What exactly does the trailer image mean? ANY trailer or ONLY one similar to the one pictured? AND do you mark just what you find or do you yell everything out so EVERYONE can mark it off?I think my dear husband was trying to cheat!Anyhoo, it doesn't matter. We sure LOVE this game! Also, I know the driver isn't supposed to play, but he/she can yell out things they see for the other players!

This is our go-to game when we are in the car for over an hour. It never gets old and the kids love it. We have 3 children, ages 6 to 12, and they all enjoy it. To extend the game, we often play until the entire board is covered. There is one item, a toll booth, that is not usually on our trips. It's not a big deal though -- we just replace it with something else fun to search for. Also, there are a lot of Bingo sheets in the box, but if you are concerned about how long you can continue to use the game, you could copy the Bingo sheets to make extra so you can use the game for several years.

Agree with some of the other reviews. Lots of the items on the cards will not be found if you are taking a long road trip. Most items are found only if you were traveling through town and during this time, I find there are so much distraction outside to keep my kids interests.

Kids loved this version of the game. The box is durable and contains the sheets and pencils so I just throw that in the car and we're set. As other reviewers have mentioned, there are 4 separate versions of the sheets but they're all grouped together so you need to pull one of each color - not just straight from the top.

We had to make a 5 day cross country drive with a 6 year old trapped in a car seat so I loaded the car with entertainment items. I was shocked at how popular this one was. I didn't really think my kid would be too into this one but it was the most popular road game I purchased (magnetic hangman and license plate game were both a bust). This silly bingo game entertained us for at least 2 hours a day over multiple days - a HUGE feat when you are stuck in a car 8-10 hours - bird on a wire is surprisingly difficult to find. It's also nicely set up for storage. The box is sturdy and compact and the game pads and pencils store inside nicely, not taking up too much vehicle real estate, a plus when the car is overflowing with people and luggage.

My kids (6,8) loved this game on our last 10hr road trip. We all joined in looking for the items. It was a nice break from our screens that let us spend a little time together. Sitting still is especially hard for my son. This game was a great way to focus his energy

We took this game on our drive to CO from TX and it was great! Our 5 and 8 yr. old loved looking for the items and it was a nice break from watching dvd's :) We had to change some of the items due to our location, but that made the kids think about it even more! I highly recommend it and it's much cheaper on Amazon than some of the other places I found it.

My husband and I recently took our 3 year old on a 16 hour car ride. My sister also joined us so I thought it would be fun for her and I to play with my son. It ended up being totally for the adults though and we had a blast with it! I think there is a really nice variety of symbols to look for and we played several rounds along the way.
