In Emilee's opinion:
In this book, there were three sections including "beat boredom at home", "beat boredom outdoors" and "beat boredom on the move". Since we are going on vacation soon, I went straight to the "beat boredom on the move" section. I loved most of the ideas especially the snack pack, mystery grab bags, the very interesting idea, stories by the sentence, and travel bingo. I also took a photo of the napkin roses for something they could do at a restaurant. That way, if I don't have the book with me, I could pull out my phone (which I have next to me at all times). We've actually played, "Would you rather" so it didn't surprise me that it was included. There were tons of ideas, tips, and fun ways to bit the boredom. Overall, this book would be perfect for your summer vacations especially when all the kids are home. And it would be perfect for car rides so there is less screen time and more family time. I definitely recommend this book!
