How old are the kids? There are quite a few pioneer-related sites along I-80 in Nebraska that can offer diversion & education along with an enjoyable break from the drive. Just one example is Ft. Kearny State Historical Park, which has a state recreation area (same/similar name) nearby with a decent campground. (I'd suggest reservations on weekends.) I-70 is a bit farther south; I'm not as familiar with its offerings, except for incredible scenery across Colorado. Easy connect to I-15 in Utah. Several nice CGs on the route, both private and state parks, in CO & UT. Perhaps others can advise on what you'll find along I-40 and other routes; we're not as familiar with those.
You could vary the route, taking a different one each direction, to make it more interesting.
