76. Animal Alphabet
Start with A and name an animal, then B, then C… Try to get through the whole alphabet as a group!
77. Who Packed It
Name a random item and guess who in the car probably packed it. Bonus points if you’re right!
78. What Color Am I Thinking
Pick a color and give vague hints. Others try to guess the exact shade you’re imagining — “mint green” or “sunset orange” maybe?
79. Story Cubes (DIY)
Make up your own “story cubes” using objects in the car or nearby scenery. Use three objects to make a short story.
80. Travel Journal Talk
Share what you’d write about today in a travel journal. It helps kids notice and reflect on cool moments.

82. Imaginary Friend Adventure
Kids imagine their imaginary friend is with them — what would they say, do, or eat?
83. Musical Chairs (Seat Version)
If you have multiple rows or seats, rotate who sits where every few hours — keeps things fresh and fair.

91. Travel Mascot
Pick an item from the car to be the “trip mascot.” Give it a name and personality!

Come up with a secret car signal (like a snap or clap) that means “I’m bored” or “I need a snack.”
94. Roadside Rap
Create a rap using the names of towns, roads, or signs you pass. Bonus if it rhymes!

Each person describes their mood with 3 emojis. The others have to guess the reason why.
97. What If the Car Could Talk
Pretend the car has a voice — what would it say about your trip so far?
