In-Flight Map Game Pack

Directions:

With a little imagination and a pencil, the route map in your complimentary airline magazine can become a whole package of games and puzzles. Try engaging your child with these games:

Connect the dots. Trace selected route lines to create a picture of an animal, person, or thing.

How NOT to get there. Devise the longest route imaginable to travel from one city to another.

Alphabet tally. Count all the places on the map whose names begin with the same letter.

You can't get there from here. Find the two cities that would require the most flight changes to get from one to the other.

By the way, did you know that the worst way to get from Bali to Oslo is by way of Yap, Chuuk, Tegucigalpa, and Cleveland?
