Road trip activities for 7 year olds

A road trip with a 7 year old has its own rules — different energy, different space, different patience levels. At seven, children want work that feels real rather than childish — give them a genuine job.

These activities were picked specifically for that situation, with realistic durations and a clear note on whether you need to take part.
