Going on a road trip can be an exciting experience, but sometimes the long hours on the road can become monotonous. One way to break up the boredom is by playing games. Here are some fun games that you can play with your travel companions while on a road trip.
1. The Alphabet Game
This game involves finding words that start with each letter of the alphabet in order.
The first person starts by finding a word that starts with the letter A, and then the second person finds a word that starts with B, and so on until you reach Z. The catch is that you have to find these words outside of the car.
Example:
- Person 1: Apple
- Person 2: Bicycle
- Person 3: Cat
- Person 4: Dog
2. Name That Tune
This game is perfect for music lovers. One person hums or sings a few lines from a song, and the others have to guess the name of the song and artist.
Example:
- Person 1: (sings) “You’re insecure / Don’t know what for”
- Person 2: “That’s ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ by One Direction!”
3. Twenty Questions
In this classic game, one person thinks of an object, and the others have to guess what it is by asking yes or no questions. The catch is that they only have twenty questions to figure it out.
Example:
- Person 1: “I’m thinking of an animal. “
- Person 2: “Is it a mammal? “
- Person 1: “Yes. “
- Person 3: “Does it live in the jungle? “
- Person 1: “No.
“
- Person 4: “Is it a domesticated animal? “
- Person 1: “Yes. “
- Person 5: “Is it a dog? “
- Person 1: “Yes, you got it! “
4. I Spy
This game is ideal for younger travelers. One person says, “I spy with my little eye something that is (color),” and the others have to guess what they are looking at.
Example:
- Person 1: “I spy with my little eye something that is green.”
- Person 2: “Is it a tree?”
