The words “are we there yet” may feel like a big black cloud is about to rain on your road trip, but fear not. Road trip games are a fun way to spice up long car rides. Here are some great ways to keep the backseat crew happy and entertained. Â
Would you rather…?
Would you rather be the fastest person alive or have the power to slow down time? All it takes is a bit of imagination to come up with thought-provoking hypothetical questions, and equally engaging responses in this game.Â
We’re going on a picnic
The aim of this memory game is to be the last player to perfectly recite all the items in the picnic basket. Start with the letter A for the first item, then go through the alphabet. Encourage creativity in what they’d pack (peanut butter and spider leg sandwiches, anyone?). Every player recites the words “I’m going on a picnic and I’ve packed…” and works through the list.  Â
Who am I?Â
Reach far back into the mists of time to stump your opponents in this fun game for older kids. Pick a famous person, dead or alive, and answer yes-or-no questions. The person who guesses correctly wins and gets to start the next round. Â
Fortunately/unfortunatelyÂ
In this collaborative storytelling game, an improvised tale can swing quickly from tragedy to comedy. The first player kicks off with a sentence that starts, “Fortunately…”, which player two continues by starting with “Unfortunately…”Â
Keep statements to just a sentence or two.Â
