2 - Divide the trip into 30 minute segments. You can explain this by telling your kids it's the length of a SuperWhy! show on TV. This particular trip has at LEAST 7 of these, but I put 8 just in case we had a couple of stops or hold ups. I also added a BONUS one in case of traffic or other cause for delay.
3 - I made a sticker chart to count down every 30 minutes of the trip and taped it in a place on the front of the car that each of the kids could see.
4 - Make a game out of it. See if they can "catch" you placing the sticker on the chart. For some reason this makes the time go even faster for them:)
5 - Place a sticker on your chart every 30 minutes until you have reached your destination.
