When my kids saw the bags all ready to go, numbers on and stapled closed, they couldn't wait to open to each one one and only up! Once we packed up the car and burr-headed out on the freeway, it was time to open the first one.

How we played the Snatch Bag Secret plan:

I made 12 bags with activities inside, one for every hour on the moving. Before the kids could unfastened skyward a bag, they had to respond a question I wrote down connected our Post-it Notes. I tried to ask questions about the scenery around them, helping my kids keep their eyes along the road and stay live by searching for clues to my next question.

As I used these to recall up fun questions to ask the kids every bit we swarm on, the trivia questions ended up being antimonopoly As a lot fun as the bags. My husband and I would stress really hard to emphasize wholly kinds of scenery locations and landmarks to ask for each hour and each grab bag.
