Playing games in the car make any length of driving quickly pass. Our personal favorite is listed below — but it got us thinking about what road trip games for couples other travel writers play.
What resulted is a fabulous list of creative road trip car games. We pack our cars with our luggage including our Cabin Zero backpacks , which we adore and hope for pastures where we can count cows! Once you claim the spotting of cow s no one else can until the next cow sighting occurs. The catch is if you pass a cemetery. The rules are easy: call on one of your friends, followed by a topic you know may get them so temporarily riled they go off on a mini-rant.
The person with the most points at the end of the trip wins. From Romeo, of Travel the World. From Cristal of Tofu Traveler. Then see how many words you can make out of it. The first person selects the base word.
The more rounds that pass, the more complicated the words get. Proper nouns are acceptable. It is really fun and makes time fly! By Jaime, of Jaime Says. Since my family and my in-laws both live several states away, my husband and I have taken a lot of road trips. When we got tired of playing 20 Questions, we began making up our own games.
We started with a simple song game, where we take turns saying the lyrics to one line of a song and the other person has to guess what song it is. This eventually evolved into what has become our favorite road trip game, in which we remove a letter from a movie title so it completely changes the meaning. From Naomi, of Roaming the Americas. Our favorite road trip game is to turn control of the music over to our kids! We connect their iPhones to our radio and they take charge. We let them deejay and quiz us on whether we can name the song title and artist.
We will often play on teams so more than 4 people can play. Or, you could just use the trivia cards by themselves to read out questions to each other and not even play by the specific rules of the game — you could just record correct guesses and still have a friendly competition that way. Modifying for the Car: As with the other games, use your phone as a timer instead of the sand timer that comes with the game.
Again, the driver can easily participate in this game by being a guesser. This is a really fun game with a great thinking challenge! Modifying for the Car: Before your trip, take a few minutes to make several different layouts of cards 5 rows of 5 as you see in the photos on the phones above and take pictures of them with your phone. When it comes to covering up the guessed clues, use a photo editing app to mark off the code names that have been guessed by each team. Guessing is really fun.
Driver, just a word to the wise, do a loop and go back down the street to give each side equal opportunity to score. Contestants, please remember, try your best not to distract other drivers.
Now this is a good one. First, each passenger lists out the alphabet in alphabetical order on a piece of paper. Then as the game commences, each contestant finds a letter, he or she must call out the letter and the word. Passengers must find each of the letters in alphabetical order. Only one player can use a letter from the same word. The first player to complete the alphabet wins.
There are many variations, for example, you can only use road signs, or only billboards, or only license plates, or even start the game with the alphabet in reverse! The greatest equalizer though, if you choose to play this way are graveyards. When you reach the next rest-stop set some goals for each contestant, like how many pushups or jumping jacks they can do in a minute or have them race and see who can do the most laps in 5 minutes.
Either way, everyone is a winner, the kids get some much-needed exercise, and parents you will appreciate your mini Olympians tuckered out and snoozing quietly down the road. The rules are easy, whenever driving through a tunnel or over a bridge, players hold their breath, whoever holds their breath to the end or the longest wins a point.
Just a friendly cautionary tip, be careful on those extra-long tunnels and bridges. Here is a game you can play anywhere, but it is an excellent one for your road trip. Each word found scores one point and you can continue until no more words can be thought of or set a timer. The Hidden Word Game is a great road trip game, that will test your wordsmith talents!
The goal of the game is to be the first person to identify the make and model of cars that are far in the distance before the other contestants. Guess right and you earn a point, guess wrong and you lose a point. The contestant with the most points at the end wins!
This game is all about yellow! Well, the rules are quite simple, spot a yellow car and you get a point, the person with the most points wins. Quite possibly the most genius Road Trip game ever created, especially for parents with young kids excited to be at the destination instantaneously.
