Objective: To be the first person to spot a buggy (aka a Volkswagen Beetle) And as a safety precaution, make sure to never hold up signs to drivers, only to other passengers. Depending on the actual sign subject, this game may be more suitable for adults. For example “I’m naked from the waist down” on a sign will get you some pretty funny looks. You create signs for the cars that pass you on the road and see if you can get any reactions. How to play: All you need is a fertile imagination and some pen and paper. Tallying at the end how many states each player saw first. You try to spot the most out of state license plates seen while on your trip. How to play: This ages-old car trip game is pretty easy. Mostly though, the fun lies in getting your friend or family member to believe your lies. If you’d like to keep score, you can assign each member a portion of the story and award points based on how believable each individual storyteller is. When the person falls asleep, the rest of the car comes up with an outrageous story of something that happened while the person was sleeping. Much like the first person to fall asleep at the sleepover party gets things drawn on them, this game too capitalizes on one’s exhaustion. How to play: For this game, someone first has to fall asleep. Objective: To convince someone to believe your lies Try one of these games for your next boring car ride. Play continues on until everyone is stumped, or the car ride is over. There are no duplicates allowed, and every place named has to be a real place. For example, the first person starts off by saying “Arkansas” and the next person says “Shanghai” and the third person says “Ireland” and so on. The next person has to think of a place that starts with the last letter of the previous place. How to play: One person starts off by naming any city, country, state, or province, anywhere in the world. Objective: To be the last person to name a place anywhere in the world “A as in Apple!” The first person to make it to “z” by the end of the car ride wins.

When you see a letter, you must call it out with alliteration, i.e. You can use signs, buildings, or anything besides a license plate. You must start at the beginning of the alphabet, and find letters of the alphabet on things you see while on your trip. How to play: This game is for two or more players. Objective: Find all the letters of the Alphabet on signs or places seen while traveling in the car, in order Find ways to entertain yourself and your family or friends on your next car ride.
