With the Holidays upon us, a road trip to visit family or friends is a certainty for millions of Texans. While smartphones and tablets have changed the way we pass time during long journeys, we at Cecil Atkission Ford think it would be keeping in the spirit of the season to share in the collective fun of entertaining, lively, or just plain silly, road trip games. The hours will slip by easily playing some, or all, of these games!
The Alphabet Categories
The game/objective: name things in alphabetical order from a category:
- Choose a category like food, bands, cars, etc.
- Start with A and travel down the alphabet
- Get as specific with your categories as you want
Regional Snack Master
The game/objective: collect the most regional snacks during your road trip
- At each gas station you stop at, find a local snack
- You can only get one food item per gas station
- The food item has to be created within the region of the gas station
- Whoever has the most snacks by your destination wins
The Counting Game
The game/objective: see how high you can collectively count without any order
- Somebody begins with the number one
- Another person follows at random with the next number
- If two people say the same number at the same time, you start over
- If there is more than a five-second pause, you start over
- You are trying to get to the number 20
The Name Game
The game/objective: connect first and last names of famous people
- Name of anyone famous
- The next person has to say a person whose first name starts with the letter of the previous last name
- If somebody mentions a person where both the first and last name starts with the same letter, the game reverses in order (e.g., Bob Barker, Lindsay Lohan, Mandy Moore, etc.)
Cows on My Side
The game/objective: holler when you see a cow!
- When you see a cow on your side of the road, you have to yell, “Cows on my side!”
- Every time you call a cow, you get a point
- If you see cows on the other side you say, “Cows on your side!”
- If you call, “Cows on your side,” before the person sees them, you steal a point
- If anyone sees a cemetery they scream, “Ghost cow,” stealing all the other side’s points
While You Were Sleeping
The game/objective: To create the most believable story when someone falls asleep
- First, a passenger must fall asleep
- After five minutes of slumber, the awake passengers begin creating a story
- Each person takes turns adding to the story
- Once the passenger wakes up, you have to get them to believe the story
- If somebody breaks character, they lose a point
- If somebody goes off script, you ask, “Are you sure?” and then that person is silenced and loses two points
- If you successfully fool the person, each storyteller wins three points
- If the sleeping passenger fools the car and joins their story correctly, they steal their current point total
- The one with the most points at the destination wins
