Car Games for the ride there

I Spy

Someone says, "I spy with my little eye something green." Whoever guesses the item correctly goes next. You could limit the items you can see now or things you have seen on the trip. 

Two Truths and One Lie

The first person makes three statements about himself or herself. Two are true; the other is a lie. For example, you could say, "I had a teddy bear named Missy. My brother broke my glasses when I was three. I won the school spelling bee when I was in third grade." Everybody then holds up one, two, or three fingers to show which statement they think is the lie. 

Color Safari

Pick a colour (red, green, blue, etc. ) and challenge your kids to 100 items that are this color. Younger kids can play a shortened version — counting items to 10 or even 50; older kids will be challenged if you set a time limit and make them race against one another. You can use 1 colour or give each player a different colour.

One Minute of Words 

Give everybody a pencil and paper. Players must write as many words as possible that start with a chosen letter, give them a time limit to make it more fun.

Singing

Not really a game, however, singing in the car is a great way to pass the time. 

20 Questions

One player thinks of an animal, plant or object and the other players are given a total of 20 "yes" or "no" questions to guess the player's item. So you could ask, for example,  "Is it an animal?" Other good questions can relate to size, such as whether the item is larger than a breadbox, or location. Any of your 20 questions can be a guess. 

Grocery Game. 

To begin, the first player names an object available at a grocery store that starts with the letter A. The next player has to repeat what the first player said and then add another grocery item that starts with a B. For example, if player one says "avacodo," player two would repeat "avacado" and then might add "bananas." If you forget a grocery item, you're out, and the game continues until the player with the best memory wins.You can play variations of this game with anything from animals to sports to people's names.
