If you’ve ever been five minutes into a long drive and heard the words “Are we there yet?”, you already know the power of a good distraction. And when you’re outnumbered by bored kids in the back seat, nothing works quite as well as a few family friendly jokes that guarantee a giggle.
Family friendly jokes: The ultimate road-trip boredom buster
That’s why we’ve put together a brand-new downloadable packed with 100 family friendly jokes plus a hilarious Try-Not-To-Laugh Challenge scorecard. It’s fun, easy, and the perfect way to keep little travellers busy just that little bit longer – without handing over a screen.
Whether you’re hitting the road for a weekend escape, a big Aussie road trip, or just doing school-holiday errands, this printable will help fill the quiet moments (and the not-so-quiet ones).
Why jokes are magic on road trips
Kids love repetition, they love silliness, and they love making you laugh even more.
A good family friendly joke sheet can:
- Break up long stretches of driving
- Keep kids entertained between destinations
- Reduce the “are we there yets”
- Encourage reading and imagination
- Get the whole family laughing together
Plus, a Try-Not-to-Laugh Challenge turns those jokes into a game – and suddenly the back seat becomes the fun seat.
