Adventure Bucks: The Reward System Kids Love
When most people hear Nina’s Tailored Trips, they think of road trip kits made to keep kids off screens and engaged in the car — complete with fun activities, conversation starters, and Adventure Bucks to reward good behavior. And that’s totally true — Nina’s kits make travel smoother and more fun for the whole family — but that’s only part of the story.
What you might not know is that Nina’s is so much more than just a travel kit. It’s also a powerful positive behavior reward system that works wherever you are — not just on the road. Whether you’re at home, in a restaurant, running errands, or managing bedtime routines, Adventure Bucks can turn everyday moments into opportunities for encouragement and connection.
The Power of Adventure Bucks 💵
The heart of Nina’s is the Adventure Bucks — a pretend reward currency your kids can earn for all kinds of amazing behavior, like:
- Using good manners
- Helping a sibling
- Trying a new food
- Being brave in new situations
- Completing workbook activities
The best part? You don’t need to be traveling to use Adventure Bucks. You don’t even need an “Adventure Store.”
While many families love creating a prize basket or mini store stocked with small toys and treats, you can also trade Adventure Bucks for experiences or privileges your kids will love, such as:
Choose what’s for dinner – $10 Adventure Bucks
Extra screen time (30 minutes) – $15 Adventure Bucks
Choose the family movie or game – $10 Adventure Bucks
Treat or toy from home – $5 Adventure Bucks
Stay up 15 minutes later – $8 Adventure Bucks
Skip one chore – $12 Adventure Bucks
One-on-one “date” with Mom or Dad – $20 Adventure Bucks
