Family-friendly podcasts for summer
by Crystal
Summer travel is coming up and parents are always looking for a way to entertain their children on those long trips. One way may be by giving them an iPod and maybe some podcasts to keep them occupied. Depending on the iPod, you can give them video podcasts or just audio podcasts. Since we do not have iTunes here to down load movies or shows for your iPod, I am going to try to find some fun free podcasts, that you can use instead, to keep your children and yourself happy on those long summer vacations.
1-2-3 Listen 2 Me (123listen2me.com)
This podcast is for ages 4-15 and it has music, jokes, and is a place where kids interview kids. Sarah and Nina bring their podcast from South Africa, but it is really for children from all around the world.
Marina’s Kool Car Radio Podcast (marinaspodcast.com/car_podcasts)
This is a happy go lucky podcast, that I am sure your children will sing right along with. You never know you might just find yourself singing along too. Marina is a motivation speaker, so I am sure she can get the whole family ready for your trip.
My Baby Monsters (mybabymonsters.com)
This is a great podcast where you and your child can write an amazing story for your trip and add it to the already great stories on this podcast. This website has much more than just wonderful stories that you can listen to with your child, they have games and all the ideas that you can get from this website is endless.
Those are just three of the many great websites with podcasts. If you want to spend some extra time with your child and make some wonderful memories, you can make your own podcasts for that long trip. Have your child help you write a play and have them with their friends act out the play, or let your child write songs for the trip. There are endless ways you can make your podcasts, all you need is your imagination. For more information and discussion about family-life in the Emirates, go to
