I spy with my little eye, license plate bingo, naming the states in alphabetical order (that one\u2019s just me? Got it) \u2014 we all know the most time-treasured car games. And even though getting behind the wheel is more fun now than it was to be strapped into the backseat being carted to Grandma\u2019s, adults can suffer from road trip inertia on those long hauls too. We\u2019ve rounded up the best ways to <\/span>kill<\/span> spend time on your next road trip, whether you\u2019re keeping the little ones entertained or going adults only. <\/span><\/p>\n

Alphabetical categories<\/span><\/h3>\n

Rather than just pick out letters from street signs, select a category (ice cream flavors, beach cities, car models \u2014 sky\u2019s the limit!) and take turns naming an item in the category in alphabetical order. Make it extra specific (80s band members) for a challenge or keep it broad (food) to keep the game moving quickly. <\/span><\/p>\n

Twenty questions<\/span><\/h3>\n

An oldie but a goodie, this game can be kid friendly or suited to grown-ups only. In case you\u2019ve never taken a road trip before: one person thinks of one specific thing \u2014 anything at all\u00a0\u2014 and the other members have twenty yes\/no questions to guess what it is. The person who gets it right gets to think of the next item. <\/span><\/p>\n

Regional snacks<\/span><\/h3>\n

Snacks are half the fun of a good road trip anyway, so why not make them into a game? At each gas station\/rest stop\/diner, everyone has to collect one snack specific to the region you\u2019re in. When you reach your destination, the person with the most or best snacks win \u2014 up to you if you want to make the prize the full collection of snacks gathered (yum).<\/span><\/p>\n

Name game <\/span><\/h3>\n

The first player states a famous person, and the next player has to say a famous person whose first name begins with the first letter of the previous person\u2019s last name (example: James Bond, Barry White). If someone says a one-name-only celeb (Oprah, for instance), the direction of the game reverses. <\/span><\/p>\n

Never have I ever<\/span><\/h3>\n

Most fun with the right group of people, this oft-used drinking game can be just as fun sober. Keep your mind out of the gutter if you\u2019ve got kiddies on board, or let your imagination wander if you\u2019re all over 18. Quick breakdown: one person states something they\u2019ve never done, everyone else lays claim (and tells the story) if they\u2019ve done it, and\/or puts down one finger if all parties began with five fingers raised. <\/span><\/p>\n

Cow game<\/span><\/h3>\n

One last esoteric bonus: if your road trip takes you anywhere remotely farm-related, the cow game is a way to fuel ongoing competition between the left and right sides of the car. It\u2019s simple: when someone on the right side of the car spots cows on the right, they yell \u201cCows on my side!\u201d and gain a point (likewise for left). If you want to get strategic, someone on the right side who sees cows on the left can try to distract left-sitting riders so they don\u2019t get the cow points.<\/span><\/p>\n
