Ask yourself what the most dangerous thing you have in your car might be. Believe it or not, there’s a good chance it’s your kids. When kids get restless in the car, they get rowdy and take your attention off of the road. That poses a risk to everyone in the car as well as to the other drivers near you.

In order to keep kids calm and quiet in the car, it’s a good idea to have an array of car games at your disposal. When the kids get sick of the "alphabet game" and don’t want to sing car songs, you can turn them on to the safety sign game. In addition to keeping them entertained, you can use the game to educate them about safety on the road.

There are several variations on the safety sign game but the basic idea is that your kids are supposed to look for signs that warn about danger. Pedestrians crossing, curves up ahead and hazardous materials at construction signs are all advertised on the road. The winner of the game may be the first kid to find ten signs, the first kid to notice a specific sign or the kid with the most signs counted at the end of the trip.

While the game is going on, you can teach your kids about what each of the different signs mean. You can also educate them in other ways. For example, if you see a solar safety sign, you can use it to give your kids a brief insight into the importance of solar signs and the role they play in being earth-friendly. Games like this are good for your kids - and for everyone else that’s on the road!
