Kids on Board, Part F

J-Day. Choose a letter and tell all the names you can that begin with that letter. For an added twist, use animals or foods that begin with that letter.

Double your fun. Search road signs and license plates with double letters. For each sign or plate you see, you get a point.

Name that colour. Name a crayon colour, then go around the car riders and make the name interesting, such as candy apple red or ocean blue.

Relatively speaking. Choose one word and keep it a secret. Alternatively, write out various words individually on slips of paper and randomly choose a paper. Tell your carpoolers five words that are related to you secret word. For example, for "chocolate" you could say "brown, sticky, candy, bar, and melts". The first played to guess your word gets to choose the next word. You could give each person a guess after each clue, if you want.

Word of the week. Each day in the car, choose a word that nobody else knows and tell what it means. Go around the car giving a sentence with that new word.

Name that tune. You can give clues, point values, progressively harder songs, and a speed round even!

Sound machine. Making silly noises is something kids often greatly enjoy doing. Sing a song using only a certain noise, not words. Everyone will surely be laughing!

A grand band. Make a sound-making instrument to play int he car, or use something simple like your lips, hands, or fingers.
