By Robert Palmer

Are you planning a road trip soon and wondering how to keep yourself entertained during the long hours on the road? Look no further, as we have compiled a list of some fun games that you can play with your fellow passengers to make your journey more enjoyable. These games are easy to play, require little to no preparation and are sure to keep everyone engaged throughout the trip.

1. The Alphabet Game

This game is perfect for those who love a good challenge.

The objective of the game is to find each letter of the alphabet in order from A to Z, as you spot them on signs, license plates, billboards or any other source outside the car window. The first person to find all the letters wins.

2. 20 Questions

In this classic game, one person thinks of an object (could be a person, place or thing) and the other passengers take turns asking questions that can be answered with a simple “yes” or “no”.

Each passenger gets 20 questions to try and guess what the object is. If nobody guesses correctly after 20 questions, then the person who thought of the object wins.

3. Name That Tune

If you’re a music lover, this game is perfect for you.

One person hums or sings a tune (without saying any lyrics) and the other passengers try to guess what song it is. The first person to guess correctly gets to hum/sing next.

4. Would You Rather?

This game is all about making choices between two equally difficult options. One person poses a question like, “Would you rather eat only pizza for the rest of your life or never eat pizza again?”

and everyone else has to choose which option they would rather go for. This game is sure to spark some interesting conversations and debates.

5. I Spy

This classic game is perfect for younger passengers but can also be enjoyed by adults.

One person chooses an object within sight and says “I spy with my little eye something that is..” and then gives a clue such as its color or shape. The other passengers take turns guessing what the object could be until someone gets it right, and then they get a chance to choose the next object.

6. The License Plate Game

This game requires a bit of concentration and observation skills. The objective is to spot license plates from as many different states or provinces as possible throughout the trip.

Keep track of the ones you’ve seen on a piece of paper or use an app if you prefer. The person who spots the most license plates wins.

In Conclusion

These are just a few examples of games that you can play on your road trip to keep yourself entertained and have some fun with your fellow passengers. Remember to take breaks, stretch your legs, and stay safe on the road.

Happy travels!
