How can I pass the time when travelling with kids?

Are We There Yet?

To help a young child know how long a trip will take, bring along two small plastic containers and several quarters. In the first container place one quarter (25 cents) for each 15 mins. that you think the trip will take. Every 15 mins. move one quarter over to the other container. At the end of the trip, all of the quarters will be in the second container. Younger children love this game and it helps them to conceptualize the passing of time.
