Car travel games are a tradition where
families take vacations or long trips by automobile. Long drives are always much tolerable with several diversion or entertainment, and reading mightiness not be the better choice, at least for the driver. Why not try several games that everyone in the car can play?
"Blue Car" Travel Games
These are travel classics. Each person guesses how galore blue cars wish pass in the next ten miles or ten minutes. Of course it can be red cars, or trucks, or any everyone agrees to. By the way, it's considered bad form for the driver to slow down, lease much cars pass, so his guess wish be the closest.
Another classic travel game involves the alphabet. Everyone tries to spot thing
starting with an "a", and be the 1st to call it out ("apple tree!"). Since the Qs and Xes are difficult, they can be skipped. The person with the most "firsts," is the winner.
Educational Travel Games
These are car games that get you thinking, learning something, or at least showing off what you know. In one game, the driver, or another selected
host, asks questions like "At what temperature makes water boil?" or "What is the Capital of Columbia?" or "If sales tax is 7.6%, what's the total cost of a sweater priced at $22?" If you want the kids to love this one, pay twenty-five cents for each right answer.
In another car travel game, person looks out the window and indiscriminately selects an object. Everyone in the car then tries to imagine a creative way to do money with it. Overpasses become places to advertise, cows are rented out, and a truck becomes a traveling discotheque.
Other Car Travel Games
Turn on the radio and you can have a game in which everyone tries to be the 1st to call out the name of the creative person once
a song starts. You can change the station, so you don't have to wait through a whole song to continue the contest.
In another car radio game, each person in the car chooses a word. Then you turn on the radio. The person whose word is spoken (or sung) 1st on the radio is the winner.
Finally, have one person in the car start a story with a sentence or two. Each person in turn adds a line to the story. This can get personal, but normally creates a story that has everyone laughing.
