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!
