Top Ways to Use GoNoodle When Traveling


Over the river, and through the wood, To Grandfather's house we go; the horse knows the way to carry the sleigh through the white and drifted snow. Thank goodness you aren’t traveling to Grandfather’s house by sleigh this year! You’ll most likely be in your reliable SUV or minivan with heated seats and cup holders. Or maybe you are flying to your vacation destination. Nonetheless, you will be on the road going somewhere to visit friends and family, hither and yon. ~ Tracy Coats


Top Ways to Use GoNoodle When Traveling

How do you keep the kiddos entertained so you aren’t hearing “Are we there yet?” every five minutes? Yes, you have your trusty DVDs, but sometimes your little ones get the wiggles and they just need to work them out while still safely buckled in their seat. What do you do? GoNoodle to the rescue! Our boredom busters will help you and the whole family stay entertained for hours, bust a move to get the wiggles out, and manage stress for those times when someone gets a little crabby. (We aren’t mentioning any names!)


Videos with Va Va Va Voom! (Recommended for car or plane)
Not ready for a pitstop but the kiddos are? Queue up some GoNoodle movement videos and burn some energy! First stop is Moose Tube, our channel full of call and repeat, and silly camp songs that everyone knows and loves. Clap and sing along to your little one’s favorites! The Brainercise channel offers up fun small movement videos that will bake your noodle! Like Mr. Catman’s I to the L or Pat ‘N’ Rub, these silly videos are fun for the whole family to do—except for the driver! Keep your hands on the wheel! If on a plane, be polite to your neighbor and have your little one where headphones.


GoNoodle Games while on the Go (Recommended for car or plane)
