1. The License Plate Game
With this game, the goal is to "collect" license plates from different states. You want to be the person to find the most states in a certain period of time. You can make it even tougher by going in alphabetical order. Another variation of the game is using the letters on a license plate to come up with a word that has all the letters in it. For example, if the license plate numbers is DE8Y2A, you could use the word "Daytime."
2. The Alphabet Game
For this game, you'll want to utilize road signs, billboards, shop names, and anything else you can see outside the vehicle with letters on it. The point is to find every letter in the alphabet, in alphabetical order, before everyone else in the car. For example, if you see a sign that says Apple Orchard 2 miles ahead, there's your "A." Then you'll look for something with the letter "B," for example Exit 127 B. Continue looking for the rest of the letters in order. The first person to the letter "Z" wins!
3. Name That Tune
As you could probably guess, the point of this game is to be the first person to figure out the "mystery tune." If you have people in the car that can sing, you might rotate singing songs, while everyone else tries to guess the tune. Otherwise, you might be better off using the songs that come on the radio. The first person to guess the song correctly wins. For an extra challenge, try humming or whistling the songs instead of singing!
4. 20 Questions
To avoid being asked, "Are we there yet?" 20 thousand times, use this game to expand the conversation. Whoever goes first has to pick something, anything really. Then the other players get 20 questions to help them figure out what that something is. The trick, the questions have to have a yes or no answer only; no open ended questions are allowed!
5. Padiddle
If you're traveling after dark, this is a great game to play! The term "padiddle" is slang for a vehicle with a burnt-out headlight or brake light. When you spot a vehicle with one of its lights out, you hit the ceiling of the vehicle and yell "Padiddle." If you're the last person to do it, you lose.
6. The Picnic Game
This is a game to test everyone's memory. You can start the story however you like, such as, "I'm going on a picnic and I'm bringing..." or "I'm going into space and I am taking..." Whoever goes first starts the story and picks something to bring along that starts with the letter A. The next person has to repeat what the first person said and then add an item starting with the letter B, and so on and so forth.
7. I Spy
The classic game of I Spy is a great way to pass the time on a road trip. If you don't already know how to play, one person picks an object that the others will have to guess. The person that picks the object says, "I spy with my little eye, something..." and then either states the color of the object or the first letter of it. Whoever guesses the object correctly gets to go next!
