My kids, 9 an 7 and I are going it alone, without dad, for the first time on an airplane. The flight is about six hours. I want to make sure they are busy during the flight. Any fun games I can print out or puzzles I can take along to keep them from annoying everyone around us??


Answer
That's so wonderful of you to think ahead like this because many mothers don't! I've experienced some of the most nightmarish flights because of those mothers too!

Will they have homework to complete? If so, then they could do that. Coloring books? Toys R Us usually has an abundance of travel games. Just make sure they don't have annoying noises.

What is a good board game for two people?

I am looking for good games to play with my boyfriend while we are traveling. Any ideas?


Answer
Without knowing the preferences of the players, i.e., "light" or "heavier" games, themed, abstract, strategy, etc,it's kinda difficult to make any assumptions. I'm just gonna list some of my favorite 2-player games that are relatively easy to find locally and travel well...

Iâd recommend:
* Blokus Duo (aka Travel Blokus - tile game, find at Target)

* Qwirkle (tile game, find at local board game store or at Target - toss the box and store it all in a bag)

* Rummikub (find at Walmart, Target, Toys*R*Us - toss the box and store it all in a bag)

* Cinq-o (fun little dice game - find at Walmart, Target, Toys*R*Us)

* Hive (tile game, find at local board game store or online - Worth Finding! - toss the box and store it all in a bag)

Hope this helps - Have Fun!
