A favorite playlist could go a long way in ensuring you have a good flight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Play card or other games<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another good option to engage them is to play cards or any other desk game with them. The more the merrier, a change of games, sometimes new players, new rules, can keep them busy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Carry along some school or art work<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most effortless and convenient option is to take along some interesting school work or art activities that you kid likes to do on a general day. This could help you slide off a good amount of time.<\/p>\n<p>Though it is easier said than done, kids are so unpredictable that to keep them engaged can be an extremely daunting task.
