Pretend the car is a ship and you are all pirates. Can you design a treasure map and a flag that represents your ship? Take turns being the captn and the maties. There better not be a bilge rat among you. Can you talk like pirates? Here are some phrases that may come in handy: Arrr! That be a fine cow by the road. Avast ye hearties! Me thinks me needs a rest stop. Shiver me timbers! Ive smelt a skunk that went to Davy Jones locker. What other expressions can you make up?
Find every number from one to one hundred, in order, outside the car. Everybody can help find the numbers, calling them out as they see them on signs and license plates. If you reach one hundred quickly, see how much higher you can go.
Materials: Lunch-sized paper bags, Crayons
With lunch-sized paper bags and crayons, you can make paper bag puppets. Then put on a puppet show for each other or for people in the other cars driving by.
Each person picks a side of the road to count cows on, and whichever side counts the most cows wins. But if either side passes a cemetery, they lose all of their cows. This game can still be played in the citywhere there arent usually any cowsby counting people wearing hats instead. And instead of passing a cemetery, in the city, passing a police car would cause that side to lose all their points. If there are neither cows nor people with hats around, pick something else to count.
Take turns humming a song and letting the others in the car guess what song it is. Whoever guesses correctly gets to hum the next one. For a bigger challenge try clapping the rhythm of the song, or slapping it on your knees.
Somebody starts a story by saying just one word. Then everybody takes a turn adding the next word to the story as quickly as they can, until the story is over or until somebody stalls too long trying to think of the next word.
Make up as many phrases as you can using the letters from license plates. Use each letter to begin a word in your phrase, and feel free to mix up the letters on your license plate to make new phrases. For example, if the license plate is 234PDQ, one phrase could be Pretty Daring Quail or, if you mix up the letters, Dear Quirky People.
After deciding on a favorite famiiar tune, everybody makes up new words to go with the melody. This can be done by going around in order, with each person adding a line, or just by singing along and making up a story to the old tune as you go. Making up a song about the trip youre taking is a good way to remember the places youve already visited.
Your songs may be so good youll want to record them in a car songbook, a blank notebook kept in the car just for that purpose.
Find an object outside the car that starts with each letter of the alphabet, in order. Call things out as you find them. This can be played with everyone in the car building one alphabet or with each person completing their own. When you are doing individual alphabets, an object can be used only once, so the first person to spot the things gets that letter. Whoever completes the alphabet first gets to choose the next game.
Think of a category: red things, things with wheels, things with stripes, things in the shade, things that are broken. Dont say what your category is. Point out three things that fit in your category as you pass by them. Everybody in the car has to try to figure out what the category is by pointing out things and asking if it is in (your category). You say yes or no. After they get several yeses in a row they can try to name your category.
Materials: Pencils or crayons; Paper
Using different colored crayons, make a big rainbow of colors on a piece of paper, leaving space beneath each color to fill in with the name of something. Outside the car, find an object for every color of your rainbow. This can be played silently, by writing down the name of the object beneath its color, or you can play aloud, calling out the name and putting an X under the color.
Take turns picking out a license plate and seeing who can make a word that has the same letters as the license plate. The letters dont need to be used in any special order, and you can just ignore the numbers on the plate. For example, LMP237 could make lump, maple, or plum.
Hold a conversation by making sentences from the letters on license plates. Stick to the order the letters are in on the plate. For example, a license plate might be HAY928. One possible sentence is How Are You? Then another player makes a sentence from another license plate, 190DPG: Doing Pretty Good. Keep going until the conversation stops.
As soon as a song comes on the radio, the first person to recognize the songs title, the singer, or any other detail about the song gets a point for each detail. Before you start, decide how many points it takes to win. If this gets too easy, make up harder things to recognize about the song, such as the last word in the song or the name of another song by the same artist.
This is a game that requires only your imagination. While driving along, look at the landscape and try and see faces, animals, or objects in the clouds, mountains, and hills. Maybe a mountain ridge looks like a sleeping giant, or a rock outcropping looks like a finger pointed at the sky. See if the others in the car see the same things you do. If you find something you really like, make up a story about it and tell it to the others.
Pick a place such as a playground, an ice cream shop, a bookstore, or a fruit stand to be on the lookout for. If youre looking for a fruit stand and you spot one, you have to be silent until you see the next one. Alternately, the driver stops for a break when you spot one or everyone in the car has to hum a song until the next fruit stand is passed.
To play Rememory, somebody suggests a person, place, or thing for everybody to remember. Then take turns each remembering one thing. If youre remembering a person, for example, you could say what color eyes she has, where she keeps her car keys, what she likes to eat, anything! Keep taking turns until no one can remember anything else and then move to another person, place, or thing.
Making up your own language is a fun process. You could try to create a language where everybody speaks normally except that they add the first letter from their name in front of each word. Or try scrambling the words in your sentences so that I want to stop, for example, becomes Stop I to want.
You can also make up new words for things instead of making up a whole language. For example, you could call cars igfrads and stop signs greebles. Think of other silly words for things you see on the road.
