Answer 1

Why not get a book of word searches and crosswords or something like that. They are cheap and will keep you entertained for hours. Also what about Madlibs? Yep they still sell those get the family involved and have some fun! You can also play those silly games like I Spy, you know I Spy something yellow. Will keep you entertained for a little while. There is also the licenses plate game. Keep a running tally and see who gets the most states. They do also make smaller versions of board games such as Sorry, Connect 4 ect… They are pretty cheap and you can get them at the toy store or some place like Wal-Mart. What about playing Bingo? There are several sites where you can print car bingo cards….spot a cow mark of a square ect. Again get the family involved it can be fun, it is what you make of it! Bring trivia, get a book or just bring the Trivia Pursuit cards have fun and question each other. Do a scavenger hunt, make up a list before you go of things to see, who ever sees the most wins. 13 hours in a car is a long time, I am in my mid-twenties and still find it boring. We go on long road trips each year and yep even at my age we pull out the kid games. Keeps you entertained and we always make it fun! Here are some sites to help you; they have things like the car bingo that you can print. Don’t forget the cow counting game, yep again whoever gets the most wins. Sounds dumb but you can make it fun!

Here are a few other games:
The Geography Game
To play this game, someone has to name any place in the world - New York, for example. Then the next person has to name a place that begins with the last letter of the first place - so for New York the next person could say "Kuala Lumpur." Whoever goes next needs a place that starts with an 'R' cuz that's the last letter of Kuala Lampur. You can't use the same place twice in a game. If you get stumped, you're out. The last person left in the game is the winner. You can mix things up by using celebrities names, movies or any other subject you can think of!

The Grocery Game
This memory game is bound to whet your appetite for your next pit stop. One person starts by naming something they could buy in a grocery store that begins with the letter 'A' - apples, for example. The next person says, "apples," and then says something they could buy at a grocery store that begins with B, such as bananas. The next person says, "apples, bananas, can of beans," and so on. If you mess up, you're out. The last person standing (well, actually, sitting) is the winner!

TWENTY QUESTIONS: One player thinks of a famous person, place or thing. Everyone else gets to ask the player 20 questions, which must be answered "yes" or "no." For example, "Does it know how to read?" is a valid question, but "What's its favorite book?" is not. Whoever guesses correctly gets a turn to think up something.

A IS FOR ARMADILLO: Starting with A, each person tries to be the first to spot and name three items beginning with that letter. For example, the first to see and announce "armadillo, auto and apple" gets to choose the next letter.

LICENSE PLATE LINGO: The goal of this game is to come up with a phrase using the letters on another car's plate. So if you see the plate LMT 823, the first person to call out a somewhat logical phrase such as "Love me tender" or "Lost my tooth" earns a point.

ODDS, EVENS: Two players pick either "odds" or "evens." Then they make a fist, shake it, say, "One, two, three...shoot," and stick out one or two fingers. If the total is an odd number, the player who picked odds wins. Same goes for evens.

Name that tune
Rules of the game
Here's a game that's great for those who like to sing or hum a tune. One player thinks of a song that everybody knows and hums its first few notes. (Hint: Your child might not recognize top-40 pop songs yet, but chances are he can recognize "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" or "Baby Beluga.") The other players try to guess the name of the song. If they can't guess, the first player keeps humming more notes in the song until someone comes up with the right answer. There are no winners or losers in this game; it ends when everyone gets tired of it.

Rainbow Game
Call out a color and each person has to find something that color. For example, when you call out green, one person might point out grass, another a green car. It gets harder when you get to purple and pink.

Tall Tales
The rules are fairly simple: One person starts telling a story. She talks for about a minute and stops when she reaches an exciting moment. Then another person picks up where she left off. The game continues in this manner, with the tale twisting and turning with each new speaker. If a large group is playing, the last person to have a turn finishes the story. With a small number of children, the game is over when one player decides to give the story an ending.

Good luck I hope this helps you and have a wonderful trip!!!!

Answer 2

You can play 'guess the animal' where you think of an animal and another person asks yes or no question to try to figuire out what it is. Either that or hangman.

Answer 3

start off with a celebrity name, first and last, then the person after you must say another celebs name that has to start with the first letter of the last name of the celeb you said, keep it going until one of you quits, and keep going until there is only one person left. and all the celebs must be real; no cartoons and if one person disagrees on a celeb and says he or she is made up then you have to give them examples of what movies or songs they have made.

Answer 4

Answer 5
