Best 5 Games for a Family Road Trip

1. License Plate Lingo

How to Play: Keep an eye out for license plates from different states. When you spot one, quickly make up a funny or wacky sentence using the letters on the plate. For example, a plate with “LMP” could be “Llamas Making Pancakes.” The funnier, the better!

Why It’s Great: It’s a hilarious way to improve your creativity, and you’ll be surprised at the crazy sentences your family comes up with!

2. The Grocery Game

How to Play: Start with the phrase, “I went to the grocery store and bought…” Each person adds an item to the list, in alphabetical order. So, the first person might say, “apples,” the next “bananas,” and so on. If you forget an item, you’re out!

Why It’s Great: It’s a memory challenge that gets ridiculously hard (and funny) as the list grows longer. Who knew grocery shopping could be this fun?

3. Story Time Twist

How to Play: Someone starts a story with one sentence. Each person in the car adds a sentence to continue the story. The twist? Each new sentence has to start with the next letter of the alphabet. 

Why It’s Great: Expect unexpected plot twists and lots of laughter. By the time you reach ‘Z,’ your story will be one for the books!

4. Car Karaoke Challenge

How to Play: Play a song everyone knows and sing along. Suddenly pause the music and whoever is singing must continue a capella. Bonus points for dramatic performances!

Why It’s Great: It’s a car concert where everyone’s a star. Get ready for some epic performances and off-key hilarity.

5. Would You Rather – Road Trip Edition

How to Play: Take turns asking “Would you rather” questions, but with a road trip twist. For example, “Would you rather have wheels for feet or always have to travel by hopping?”

Why It’s Great: The questions can get super wacky, and you’ll learn some hilarious and unexpected things about each other.

Remember! The best road trip games are those that bring laughter and keep everyone engaged. So, pack your sense of humor, fasten your seatbelts, and let the games begin! Happy travels!
