Travel activities for primary age kids

We are planning a trip overseas, the longest flight time my children (8 yrs & 10 yrs) has ever travelled by plane. When searching through pinterest and google for travel activities, I find that most of the resources are targeted towards toddlers and younger kids.  My son is quite a mature 10 year old who has very limited interests (primarily beyblades and lego) and besides use of ipad, I struggle to find activities that would interest him. 

Here's a list of items that I packed for our trip

• Electronic devices & bluetooth headphones
• Something tactile - stressball

 

• Comfortable travel pillow
• Magnetic games 
• Travel games - pack of cards, dice to play yatzhee
• Laminated games & white board markers
• Colouring book & pencils
• Lots of snacks & lollies

Here are some useful activities & resources that I have found 

1. Dot to dot book
2. Rubik's Cubes
3. Magnetic board games - chess, othello
4. Printable board games - laminated and used with white board markers
