The aim is to spot license plates from as many different countries or US states depending on where your road trip is taking place as possible.
Write a list of the places you've seen and compare it with the other passengers at the end of the drive. This is the ideal game for those long stretches of boring motorway where you'll probably rack up a surprisingly long list, and the person with the most countries gets to ride shotgun for the next leg of the journey. The end of this road trip game can get very controversial - if you spot a real game winner, photographic evidence is a good idea so get your phone out and take photos in secret!
This is similar to the Story Game see 1 above , however players get a little more control and creativity. You can say more than one word this time! One player starts off with a 'fortunately' sentence, and the next has to follow with an 'unfortunately' sentence to build a story of luck and misfortune. For example, one player might start with 'fortunately, the sun was shining' with the second player adding 'unfortunately they had a long drive ahead of them' and so on. This game can make it a little easier to remember the long string as everything has to be either fortunate or unfortunate!
Get as creative as you can and you'll find yourself at your destination in what seems like no time at all. This is the perfect road trip game to play if you're passing through a few towns on your way although roadside restaurants and chains will do just fine.
Print out a sheet with all the food types you can think of in a grid against the names of people in the car. Every time you drive past a restaurant of some kind, the first person to spot it gets to collect the tick for the food type it serves.
Steaks and pizzas should be easy to collect by everyone, but you might just win if you're the only one who spotted the seafood restaurant in the middle of Oklahoma!
This is another simple game that keeps your brain occupied during a long drive without being too strenuous. One person simply says any name they can think of and the next person must say another name that begins with the last letter of the name before, and so on. For example if passenger one says Tom, passenger two might say Mary.
If you've made any friends during your road trip, try and include their names to make it a tad more topical. Obviously adding the rule of not repeating the same names once they have been mentioned makes this a whole lot more interesting as the game progresses although you're guaranteed to have a disagreement over whether a name has or has not been mentioned already!
If you're comfortable in your musical knowledge you'll definitely want to suggest playing this one. The rules are simple: get the front passenger to play the first few seconds of a song and whoever can guess the artist and song title the quickest wins a point. This is much easier if you can connect your phone to the car for the road trip and play songs from there so you can easily search and pause the music.
The person with the most points after half an hour gets control of the music for the rest of the journey, so there's a lot at stake Instead of just guessing the song after a few seconds, players have to rack their brains and try and sing the next line, and the person who successfully remembers it first wins a point. Think of a reward for whoever wins, and if you attempt it but get it wrong you have to do a forfeit chosen by the driver.
This game's a little less hands-on but no less entertaining. Use your road trip driving time to discover all the local radio stations of the place you're visiting by re-tuning every ten minutes and choosing a new station at random. You'll probably find some pretty wacky programs and get to know traditional and popular music in that country - a great way to appreciate culture even when you're between destinations. This road trip game can be be as PG or as outrageous as you like depending on the age of the passengers.
Take turns asking the car whether they would rather do one thing or another e. Make it as difficult as possible to choose between the two options for maximum entertainment value, whether that's making them equally amazing or equally horrible, it's up to you….

Everyone in the car gets to make up a silly rule, e. The last person to join in when an action is enforced gains a point, and the person with the most points at the end of the drive loses. At the end of that trip I was absolutely fed up with devices and ready to throw them out of the car! From taking turns, to running out of batteries, screens became a nightmare instead of a godsend during that trip.
I had driven thousands of miles to the Rockies and back, and my patience was depleted. I was so fed up that we had a hiatus from screen time for about a month after our trip.
