Jul 31, 2019 Vacation Skills Traveling with kids this summer? Take these 4 apps and skills with you
Nothing says “vacation” and “relaxation” like traveling long distances with children. That’s a little joke to start your day. In reality, if you’re vacationing with kids this summer, in addition to 427 changes of clothes and a shelf of sunscreen, you also need to bring ways to keep them entertained. Below are 4 apps and skills from the Webby-winning team at Nickelodeon that kids can play on your getaway. Don’t leave home without them (the kids, or the apps).
Noggin
If you need content to keep kiddos occupied while helping them learn, you need Noggin. Download the app for access to 1,500 ad-free Nick shows like Dora the Explorer and Paw Patrol; brain-boosting games led by their favorite characters; and more.
Vacation energy is hard to tame. Help the kids let loose along with their favorite characters, like Invader Zim, Danny Phantom, and more, in Super Brawl Universe: an ultimate Nick-themed arcade action game that is safer and more fun than jumping on their hotel beds.
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Your children. The SpongeBob Challenge is an Alexa skill that transports kids to work at the Krusty Krab. Tasked with handling food orders, kids learn memory and verbal skills (and work ethic!) while having fun with iconic characters.
Couldn’t get them to bring their summer reads on vacation? That’s OK. Set them up with Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? now available as an Alexa skill. They can play as teams or solo, and test their knowledge on key subjects using just their voices.
