Let’s Play A Game: Road Trip Games

Is it time to take the last road trip of the summer? Although that may be sad to think about, we are hoping to make that last road trip an exciting one with some great road trip games that will help pass the time and miles to come! Take a look below and let us know what some of your favorite car games are!

I Spy

• My favorite game! Someone starts the game by saying “I spy with my little eye….” and follows up with a clue as to what you are seeing. Each passenger takes a turn guessing at what the object may be, the person who guesses the object first gets to start the next round.

License Plate Map:

• Grab a clipboard, a blank printed out copy of the U.S. map, and some colored pencils! When you see a license plate from one of the states, color it in and keep searching! This game will keep kids entertained for hours as they race to be the first one to get all 50 states! Plus, it will help them determine where certain states are on the map.

The Alphabet Race

• A passenger picks a single letter from A-Z, whoever spots that letter out the window first (cars, tractor, billboard, for example) gets to start the next round. This game truly has no winner and can help pass the time especially with small children who are learning to associate letters with objects.

20 Questions

• Another one of my favorite games! A passenger in the vehicle thinks of something/ someone and other passengers have to take turns guessing who/ what the person, place or thing is. Guesses must be answered with a simple yes or no. After each answer, the guesser gets ONE chance to guess at what is the object/person. The passenger that guesses correctly wins and gets to start the next round.

Spot The Car

• This game is great for older children who can differentiate the difference between various vehicle models. Prepare by making a printable scavenger hunt checklist for passenger to check off when a vehicle model is found. The first passenger to get all the models wins!

Are you ready to head out? We sure are! Don’t forget these games when you’re packing up your gear and getting ready for the one last road trip! Before you leave, show your Ford a little TLC by scheduling a service appointment for a tune-up!
