Road Trip Car Games

I Spy: This game can keep kids entertained for long periods of time, and it’s easy to play! One person chooses an item and then gives clues to the other passengers as to what it is. The person who correctly guesses the item gets to choose the next one!
20 Questions: Similar to the I Spy game, one person chooses an item (anything they can think of!) and the participants have to ask questions to try and figure out what it is. For example, the first question is always “animal, vegetable, or mineral?” and from there participants ask questions that get more specific to the item, such as “can it talk?”
License Plates: In this game, participants call out each letter of the alphabet as they spot it on another vehicle’s license plate. Once you get all the way through the alphabet, you can do doubles or triples, or you can play the game by by spotting out-of-state plates!
The Name Game: This game is geared more towards adults, but is a great way to pass the time! One person starts by saying the name of a famous person or character. The next contestant has to name a celebrity whose first name begins with the same letter that the previous celebrity’s last name started with. For example, if the first person said “Brad Pitt”, the next person would have to name a celebrity whose first name starts with P, such as “Peter Pan”.
