Things to Remember… In the Car
Posted August 5, 2008
on:v Rest your back and put the seatbelt.
v Look out of your window and observe the things happening around.
v Play travel games if the journey is long – ‘I spy’, ‘Guess the personality’ are some easy-to-play games.
v Avoid looking at people in other cars – if you do so you might find children pulling a face at you.
v Keep a newspaper, comic or magazine handy. You might want to spend some
time reading!

v Give a break to your eyes; look outside instead of playing a game on the mobile.
v Avoid pointing at things especially if you are sitting in the front seat. By doing so you may be blocking the side mirrors.
