Games to Play on Long Road Trips

 

There are lots of kids out there that get bored on trips. But today, I am going to list a couple games that you can play in the car! They may not last you forever, but they will last for some time. So here we go!

Spot It!

This is the car version of I Spy. Here’s how you play:

You will need at least 2 players

One person says ‘I spy something green’ the green is just an example. It can be anything you like, from colors, to textures. The other person then has to try to figure out what they saw. If they saw a green car, it might take a while to guess. You get 2 hints per round. These hints can be almost anything. For example, if it was a car, you could say it was fast. The person to win 5 rounds first wins! If you give up on a round, then you do not win that round. And you take turns saying I spy.

Pipe Cleaner Challenge

2 players at least

For this game you will need some pipe cleaner (be careful not to lose any in the car!) 1 person looks to the left or right (or they think of the first thing that comes to mind) and whatever they see they, you both have to make with the pipe cleaner. Take turns doing so. When you have both finished making this, you attempt to see whose was better. If there is a 3rd person they can judge, if not you both vote to see whose was better. If you both vote yourselves, it is a tie. And if you vote each other, it’s a tie. But if one of you votes yourself, and the other votes you, you win. Or vice versa.

What is it?

Two players at least

One person looks out their window, while the other grabs an object (not connected to the car!). That person then either hides it in their hands, or between their legs depending on the size. When they are ready, the other person turns from the window to look at the hider. They then proceed to guess what was taken. They get 3 guesses. If you guess on the 1st try you get 5 points. 2nd try= 4 points. And the 3rd try= 2 points. If you go over 3 guesses no points are earned. The first to 20 (or more for a longer game) wins! This game can also be played without points if you wish.

That’s all everybody! I hope you enjoyed it and found it helpful!

Reviews of More Books I’ve Read

 

Ok, I know what you’re thinking, ‘Hasn’t she already put out a post of book reviews??’ And the answer is, yes, I have. But there are just so many good books out there, I couldn’t help myself! Reading is one of the things that makes me the most happy. So here is a list of books that I enjoyed:

Anne of Green Gables     by: Lucy Maud Montgomery

I loved this book so much! It was truly amazing. It is fun to read how Anne goes about her life, the trouble she gets into ;), and how she views the world around her. This book was so amazing. I love the entire series of Anne, and they are truly amazing books that really make you think about the world around you.

Alice in Wonderland    by: Lewis Carrol

This book was so quirky and fun! I have always been an Alice in Wonderland fan, but I had never actually read the book. But once I did, I was so glad. This book is so fun to read, you can never get bored when diving into one of Alice’s adventures. All of the fun and well-written parts of this book make up an incredible book, that I definitely recommend reading!

My Family for the War    by: Anne C. Voorhoeve

This book definitely isn’t perfect, and may not be the best for especially little kids. It has a slight amount of cursing in it. But other than that, I found this a great read. It really shows you the life of some of the people in the World Wars. You will find yourself clinging to hope just like Frances does, and your heart will drop as you read through her life story. This book is truly amazing, and I felt like I was really going through Frances’ life as I read it. It was a truly amazing experience to read this one.

Farewell  to Manzanar    by: Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston and James D. Houston

This book was incredible! It tells the story of World War II. The life of Jeanne Wakatsuki. Sent to many internment camps. This story was very enjoyable. This book really shows what life was like for some of the people in World War II. This story was amazing and well-written. I loved reading about this girls incredible journey.

And that, my friends, is the end of my reviews. I hope you enjoyed this, and are inspired to read a few of these good books.
