Kids on Board, Part E

I Spy is a perfect game for all in the car to play. You can even make it more difficult by picking things like cats, balloons, and such.

I Know a Hero. Kids have many heroes, both real and fictional. One child begins with "I have a hero who..." then describes something about that hero. Everyone takes a turn guessing. Whoever gets it right gets to choose the next hero.

Paper Bag Presto. Hide an item in a paper bag and pass it around. Each person tries to guess what it is by shaking it and feeling it through the bag. Use tricky items like soap or a ball of yarn at times.

Mystery Box. Take a box filled with something special and tie it closed. Pass it around to each person who gets to ask one question about it. If he knows what the item is, he wins. Otherwise the game stops until either another trip, or a certain length of time has passed.

Scrambled Town. Have the kids rearrange the letters in the name of a street, town, building, river, or other landmark. The one who uses the most letters wins.

Tongue twisters are also great fun for kids of all ages. Perhaps they can even make up their own!
