Grumble-Crushing Travel Bags: Snack Attack!

This little “Snack Attack!” game is a fun way to take the grumble out of traveling with littles, while reminding them of some favorite Bible stories.

About the Snack Attack Bags

Are your grandkids preparing for a car trip with their family? These SNACK ATTACK bags are such a fun way to minimize grumbling!

Their parent(s) get to decide on a certain amount of time (30 minutes, 3 hours…whatever seems appropriate for the distance of their trip) and then set an alarm for that time. When the alarm goes off, the kids get to open a bag with a snack or activity. BUT WAIT….if they grumble or complain before the timer goes off, it just might start over…YIKES! (At the end of this post, see a video of the bags in action and download everything you need to get started.)

STEP ONE: Shop

• Fish Crackers
• Bugles
• Pretzel Sticks
• Gummy Life Savers
• M&Ms
• Frosted Animal Crackers
• Bubble Gum
• Snack or sandwich zipper bags (one per snack, per child)
• One gallon zipper bag

STEP TWO: Print

Print one set of labels for each child and cut apart. When trimmed, these labels fit perfectly inside the snack-sized zipper bags. A link to the free download is at the end of this post.

STEP THREE: Fill the bags

Print and insert snack labels in corresponding zipper bags…one for each child.

STEP FOUR: Pack it all up!

Put the filled snack bags into a gallon zipper bag, along with the “Let’s play a snack game!” directions. If sending snacks for more than one grandchild, be sure to label the gallon bags with their names.

STEP FIVE: Deliver!

If you live close by, deliver the “Snack Attack!” bags in person. If far away, drop them in the mail with plenty of time to get there before they leave on their trip. Such a fun way to minimize the grumbles! Bella and Sutton sure enjoyed playing (and eating) along when they made the two-day trip to see Nanny and Papa in Georgia!
