How to Entertain Kids On a Flight

Keeping kids entertained on a flight can be challenging, but here are some suggestions to help make the journey more enjoyable:

  1. Pack a carry-on bag with a variety of activities: Fill a bag with coloring books, crayons, small puzzles, sticker books, and other quiet toys that can keep your child occupied for an extended period.
  2. Bring electronic devices: Tablets or smartphones loaded with age-appropriate games, movies, or TV shows can be a lifesaver. Don’t forget to bring headphones and ensure the devices are fully charged or have extra batteries.
  3. Play travel-sized games: Compact games like travel-sized versions of popular board games or card games can provide entertainment during the flight.
  4. Bring books: Choose books that your child enjoys and pack a few of their favorites. Consider interactive or picture books that can engage their attention.
  5. Snacks and treats: Pack a variety of snacks that your child likes. Snacking can be a fun way to pass the time and keep them occupied. However, avoid overly sugary snacks to prevent excessive energy levels.
  6. Engage in interactive activities: Play simple games like “I Spy” or “20 Questions” to keep your child engaged. These games can be fun and interactive, involving the whole family.
  7. Use the airline’s entertainment options: Many airlines provide in-flight entertainment systems with movies, TV shows, and games designed for kids. Check with your airline to see what options are available.
  8. Plan for breaks and stretching: Encourage your child to walk around the cabin, visit the restroom, or stretch their legs every once in a while. This change of scenery can help prevent restlessness.
  9. Engage their creativity: Bring a small notebook and encourage your child to draw, write stories, or create their own games. Let their imagination run wild.
  10. Surprise them with new toys or activities: Consider introducing a new toy or activity during the flight to provide excitement and novelty.

Remember to be patient and understanding during the flight. Keeping kids entertained on a flight can be overwhelming for you, so try to provide a calm and reassuring environment.
