What Are the Best Games to Play on a Road Trip?

By Anna Duncan

Are you planning a road trip with friends or family? Are you wondering what games to play to keep everyone entertained and engaged throughout the journey?

Look no further! Here are some of the best games to play on a road trip:

1. The License Plate Game

This classic game involves spotting license plates from different states or countries.

The goal is to spot as many unique plates as possible during the trip. Keep a list of all the plates you spot, and at the end of the journey, count how many different states or countries you saw.

2. I Spy

I Spy is a great game that can be played anywhere, including on long car journeys. To play this game, one person says “I spy with my little eye something..” and then gives a clue about an object they can see.

Everyone else takes turns guessing what that object might be until someone gets it right. The person who guesses correctly then gets to choose the next object.

3. Twenty Questions

This is another classic game that is perfect for long car journeys.

One person thinks of an object (person, place, or thing), and everyone else takes turns asking yes-or-no questions until someone guesses what it is.

4. Name That Tune

If you have a musically-inclined group, Name That Tune is a great option for passing time on your road trip.

One person hums or sings part of a song, and everyone else tries to guess the name of the song as quickly as possible.

5. The Alphabet Game

The Alphabet Game involves spotting objects outside the car in alphabetical order.

For example, someone might say “A for Apple tree” followed by “B for Bus” and so on. The goal is to make it all the way through the alphabet before reaching your destination.

6. Would You Rather?

This game involves presenting players with two options, both of which are equally challenging or ridiculous, and asking them to choose which they would rather do.

For example, “Would you rather eat a live spider or swim in a pool of Jello?” Keep the questions interesting and thought-provoking for maximum entertainment value.

Conclusion

There you have it! These are just a few of the many games that can keep you entertained on a long road trip.

Whether you’re playing solo or with a group, these games will help make the journey more enjoyable and memorable.
