Social Responsibility. To play, you begin with the letter A. Each passenger takes a turn finding something along the road or inside the car that begins with the chosen letter. Then, you move your way through the alphabet.
Categories: The principle of this game is simple, which means it can be endlessly modified. One person chooses a category — such as types of trees. Then, everyone in the car takes turns naming something that fits in the category.
When a passenger is stumped pun intended , the round is over. Radio roulette: Test the knowledge of the audiophiles in your car by guessing song names on the radio. Just turn to a random station or put your phone on shuffle. Whoever shouts the name of the song first wins. Truth or dare: This game is a car trip adaptation of a classic. Ask a question to a fellow passenger, then let them decide whether to tell the truth or complete a dare. Just make sure your dares can be safely performed in the car.
I spy: When you think of things to do on a long car ride, this game probably tops the list. License plate game: There are a few car ride games you can play using the license plates of other vehicles on the road. Try finding plates that start with each letter of the alphabet. Or get creative by making up a phrase by using the plate letters as acronyms.
Scavenger hunt: It takes a little planning, but a scavenger hunt can be one of the best road trip games for kids. Make the list as specific to the place you're going as you want. In Texas you might have anything mentioning the Lone Star and in Wyoming you might be on the lookout for elk! You can tailor the difficulty and number of things to find depending on the age of your children.
The rules of this road trip game are super simple: passengers take turns waving at passing pedestrians or people in nearby cars. If they wave back they're sweet, if not they're sour. You win a point for every sweet passerby you get, so aim to find as many friendly people as possible along the way.
For obvious reasons, the driver should opt out of this one, but it can be extra fun if they divert the car through a busy area of town to rack up some extra waving opportunities!
Make use of that old road map that sits in the car seat pocket to entertain the kids. All you need to do for the secret place race is pick a place they're unlikely to know such as a tiny village, river, or mountain, and see how long it takes them to find it on the map.
This can be incredibly entertaining in a Where's Waldo kind of way, except their mission in finding the village can be made critically important for the driver to be able to find the right way! Have a reward on hand if they're able to find it in less than 5 minutes, and watch as they're completely engrossed in the task. A simple yet satisfyingly effective game.
First gaining popularity as part of one of Volkswagen's marketing campaigns in the s, the aim of this game is to give your fellow passengers a playful punch whenever you see a VW Beetle drive past. This is one of those road trip games that is universally loved by children as long as you monitor the punching to avoid disaster , although we don't see why the adults wouldn't enjoy it too.
Granted - in some parts of the world, seeing a Beetle is incredibly rare, so if you're struggling to see many Beetles, you could always choose a specific color of car or another funny model as the target instead to make it a touch easier. One for the foodies. Stretching across the full duration of your road trip, collect as many local snacks as you can at every stop along the way to build up your car pantry.
Make sure you take pictures of each snack or buy duplicates if they'll keep so you can see what you've managed to collect at the end of the trip, and be sure to take some weird and wonderful treats home for friends and family to try.
Do some research beforehand and make a list of all the foods you want to find, or just wing it and see what local delicacies you stumble across as you go.
You'll need pens and paper for this game so make sure you've packed some before you head off. The aim is to spot license plates from as many different countries or US states depending on where your road trip is taking place as possible.
Write a list of the places you've seen and compare it with the other passengers at the end of the drive. This is the ideal game for those long stretches of boring motorway where you'll probably rack up a surprisingly long list, and the person with the most countries gets to ride shotgun for the next leg of the journey. The end of this road trip game can get very controversial - if you spot a real game winner, photographic evidence is a good idea so get your phone out and take photos in secret!
This is similar to the Story Game see 1 above , however players get a little more control and creativity. You can say more than one word this time! One player starts off with a 'fortunately' sentence, and the next has to follow with an 'unfortunately' sentence to build a story of luck and misfortune. For example, one player might start with 'fortunately, the sun was shining' with the second player adding 'unfortunately they had a long drive ahead of them' and so on.
This game can make it a little easier to remember the long string as everything has to be either fortunate or unfortunate! Get as creative as you can and you'll find yourself at your destination in what seems like no time at all.
This is the perfect road trip game to play if you're passing through a few towns on your way although roadside restaurants and chains will do just fine. Print out a sheet with all the food types you can think of in a grid against the names of people in the car. Every time you drive past a restaurant of some kind, the first person to spot it gets to collect the tick for the food type it serves.
Steaks and pizzas should be easy to collect by everyone, but you might just win if you're the only one who spotted the seafood restaurant in the middle of Oklahoma! This is another simple game that keeps your brain occupied during a long drive without being too strenuous. One person simply says any name they can think of and the next person must say another name that begins with the last letter of the name before, and so on.
For example if passenger one says Tom, passenger two might say Mary. Whoever has the least points when you get to your destination loses. One person plays the character of a famous person and answers questions as if they were that person. Whoever guesses correctly first wins. Name That Song. One person says a popular song lyric in a completely deadpan voice and the other passengers must guess the song. Best Drive I Ever Had. This is trickier than it seems and turns each car ride into something a little more exciting.
The Quiet Game. Everyone sees how long they can be quiet, whoever speaks the first loses. This is an especially fun game to play with kids when you need a little downtime. The Movie Game.
One person says the name of an actor and the next person must name a movie that actor has been in. The next player must name another actor who starred in that same movie. The next player must say another movie that actor was in, and so on. Punch Buggy. Every time you see a Volkswagon Beetle, the first person to see it gets to punch someone else in the arm. People Watching. Find a vehicle that you can watch for a few minutes traveling on the road near you. Make up a story about the people in the car.
What are their names? What do they do for employment? What kind of pets do they have?
