A "Road Trip Game" is a fun and simple game that you can play to pass the time during a long drive. Here’s an explanation of a classic version and some variations to keep it interesting.
Classic Version: The Alphabet Game
Objective: Find words on signs, billboards, or license plates that start with each letter of the alphabet in order.
How to Play:
1. Start with the letter "A."
2. Each player must find a word starting with "A" on signs or cars outside.
3. Once someone finds a word starting with "A," move on to "B," and so on, until you reach "Z."
4. The first player to complete the alphabet wins!
Variation: If playing with multiple people, each person can take turns finding the next letter to keep the game competitive and fair.
20 Questions
Objective: Guess the object the other person is thinking of by asking yes/no questions.
How to Play:
1. One player thinks of an object (it could be anything: a place, person, or thing).
2. The other players take turns asking yes/no questions to figure out what it is.
3. After 20 questions, if no one guesses the object, the player reveals it.
4. If someone guesses correctly, they win and get to think of the next object.
License Plate Game
Objective: Spot as many different state license plates as possible.
How to Play:
1. Each player looks for license plates from different states (or countries, depending on where you’re driving).
2. The goal is to see who can spot the most different plates during the road trip.
3. For extra fun, you can keep track on a notepad or app to see how many plates you’ve found by the end of the trip.
I Spy
Objective: Spot something that other players must guess based on a clue.
How to Play:
1. One player says, "I spy with my little eye, something that is [color or descriptive clue]."
2. The other players have to guess what the object is based on the clue.
3. The first player to guess correctly gets to go next.
