With the school holidays underway, we turn our attention to planning great days out and holidays but one question always comes to mind... "Are we there yet!?"

So to avoid the frustration and boredom in the car, Just Tyres have come up with some great ideas to start the fun and entertainment the minute you step into the car:

If you are going on a longer journey and your budget allows, why not let the kids watch their favourite DVD. Units are available from electrical retailers or as an after-fit option from your car manufacturer. The peace that descends on the car is amazing and the only noise you should hear are the giggles at the funny parts (if you remember to pack the headphones of course!)

Want an interactive game; why not try Bingo? This needs a little prep before your journey but is great fun. Draw up a Bingo Card for each player with random numbers on it from 1 - 49 and hand this and a pen to the players. Someone (we'd suggest that this isn't the person driving) then takes the responsibility for calling our the numbers on a number plate either using 1 or 2 of the numbers ie. TT41 9GG could be 4, 1 or 9 or 41 or 19, it helps to write down the numbers you've called out to avoid repeats. The players mark their numbers off of their card and when they have a line, 2 lines or a full house, call out Bingo and are declared the winner; it usually helps if a small prize is available, maybe a piece of fruit or first choice of the bedrooms when you arrive at your destination!

There are also many commercial travel games available from retailers ranging from Ludo and Battleships to Scrabble and Hangman, a great range of choice for all the family
