We all like to get away once in a while, in fact, I just went away this weekend. But let’s face it: being on the road for hours at a time is boring. So what is there to do? I’ve compiled a list of road trip games you can play while sitting in the car to make the time pass.
1. The ABC Game
It’s pretty self-explanatory…you have to just find the letters of the alphabet on the road in order. It starts to get tricky once you hit letters like q, v, and w.
2. License Plate
The way I play this game is to see how many different states’ license plates you see and write them down. This generally works better when traveling across states, but you never know who may be traveling through your home state.
3. 20 Questions
This is a classic. Whomever can think of an object first can go first. You can either play just by asking yes and no questions or general questions. You can play with two or more people and it’s a fun game for all.
4. Name That Tune
All players have to do is chose one person to hum or whistle a song. It’s easiest if you chose a category and go from there. Whomever guesses the song first, wins.
5. Counting Game
Depending what area of the country or state you’re in, chose an object and just count them. It can be played with one or more people. If you have multiple people you can verse each other to see who can come up with the most over a certain period of time or the whole car ride.
These are just a few games to keep you occupied if you have nothing else to do. Of course you can always sleep (if you’re not driving or co-driving), listen to music, talk to your friends (unless you’re alone) or play crossword/Sudoku games. Happy travels!
