Velcro Road Trip Bingo Travel Game for Kids
Growing up our family went on a road trip every summer to the beach. This was long before tablets and even portable DVD players, so we had to think of other ways to keep ourselves entertained!
One of our favorite travel games was a card game where you divvied up a deck of picture cards. The first person to spot all of the things on each of their cards won. Some of the items were easy to find, some where practically impossible (a lighthouse…really?!) but we always had a blast playing!
I created this printable Road Trip Bingo travel game based on our favorite childhood road trip card game.
Instructions:
Print the bingo cards (available here) and cut out along the outlines. Feel free to color in the pictures on the cards!
Glue the printable bingo cards to card stock or sturdy paper.
Attach velcro stickers to the squares on cards next to each item name as well as to the back of foam shapes. We used different colored silly face foam pieces for each player, corresponding to the color of card stock we used for each bingo card.
Note: If you don’t have velcro stickers handy, you can also use clothespins, paperclips, or even regular stickers.
How to play:
Pass out bingo cards to all the players.
Every time you see something on your card, cover that space with a marker. The first player to cover all five spaces on their bingo card wins!
Our favorite road trip essentials
Books — We all love to read, so occasionally during the trip we’ll have quiet time. It’s so easy to get caught up in a good book that you don’t even notice time passing!
Road trip playlist — We always create a special playlist before we go on any trip, filled with our family’s favorite songs. There is definitely some sing-a-long time on every excursion!
No-mess snacks — Nothing diffuses cranky kiddos like a snack! Tree Top Applesauce Pouches are perfect for road trips because the no-spill squeeze pouch prevents messes.
The one thing I don’t enjoy about road trips is how tricky it can be to find wholesome food on the road. That’s why we pack ahead to make sure we always have real food instead of chips or candy.
Tree Top Applesauce is made with 100% USA apples and contains NO high fructose corn syrup and NO artificial ingredients and are easy to slip into a travel bag or purse. They’re the perfect packable snack when you’re on the go!
Tree Top Applesauce Pouches come in a variety of kid-approved flavors and in both 4-count and 12-count packages. To find out where to buy in your area, visit TreeTop.com.

There are so many moving parts to this it’s a bit confusing. I’ve looked through the page five times to find the LINK to download the FREE Bingo Boards. Sad.
Stacey aka the Soccer Mom says
Yes, I can’t display a full sized PDF in the blog post itself, so there is a link to download/print the full cards. What’s sad to me is that anyone would complain about free content that I spent hours creating.
Karen says
Hi! The link to the pdf doesn’t seem to be working. These are so cute, I hope to use them for my kiddos on our upcoming trip! Thanks!
Stacey aka the Soccer Mom says
Oh no! I just went back and fixed the link, but here it is just in case: https://thesoccermomblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Road-Trip-Bingo-Cards.pdf
