Taking a break from your usual activities and going on a vacation is always a great idea. But, as a kid, it can get kind of, well, boring schlepping from one cultural site to another. Kids need to chill. That’s why it’s so important to take a few trusty, easy to pack games to play in your hotel room. I mean, you could also park them in front of the TV but playing a game together is a fun bonding experience! Think of it as some family time that doesn’t require saying “cheese” in front of a big statue. When choosing games to play in your hotel room, look for options that don’t require a lot of pieces — like the ones we’ve rounded up!
