An illustrated collection of finger play rhymes arranged in increasing order of difficulty.

Children love being on vacation or visiting friends and family--it’s just the boring hours traveling on the plane, train, bus, or automobile that they hate. But even long journeys will fly by with this jam-packed collection of activities. In fact, it will keep kids so busy they won’t even care when they get there! All kinds of puzzles, personality quizzes, brainteasers, writing and drawing prompts, and word and board games entertain a single kid or a large group. The fun goes way beyond the usual: do scavenger hunts for speeding cars, funny signs, and roadside animals. Fold fast-food restaurant napkins into origami creatures. Play World’s Worst and ask your fellow car captives questions like, "What’s the world’s worst way to ballroom dance?” All that’s required is a pencil, pen, or a few markers. With so many great things to do, getting there just might be the best part of the trip!
