Car Games
License Plate Game
You call out the number on a license plate and see who can add up the numbers correctly.
Another License Plate Game
Copy down the number on a license plate, ignoring any letters and read the number out loud. For example: M663218 would be six hundred sixty-three thousand, two hundred eighteen.
Yet Another License Plate Game
Record the different state names that you see on license plates. Figure out which state was noticed the most, which one had the fewest sightings, which ones you didn't see at all.
Coin Game
Start with ten coins. Person who is "IT" hides several coins in their right hand and puts their hand in their lap. Everyone gets to guess how many coins he/she has. No one can guess the same number as someone else. The person who guesses correctly gets one point and becomes "IT". Person with the most points after 15 minutes wins.
Woody
A "woody" is a car, van or other vehicle that has the wood panel sides. When you see one, yell "WOODY" and you get a point. Before you start, decide how many points the game is going to go before you declare the winner. The first one to 5 is a pretty good one, since there aren't nearly as many of them now as there were in the past.
Quiet As A Mouse
This is usually mom and dad's FAVORITE game of all. The trick to this game is to see who can be the quietest for the longest period of time. If you laugh, giggle or do anything that makes noise, you are out. The trick is NOT to see what you can do make the other person make noise, it's to see how long the entire car can be quiet.
Cow Poker
Choose teams in the RV and decide on game length (one hour, until the next rest stop, etc.) and how many points for what items, which you can choose depending on what part of the country you’re in (for instance, there are cows everywhere, but if you’re in Florida, you can add palm trees or people in flip-flops).
It helps if you have a notebook or piece of paper to keep track for each side of the vehicle.
Rules:
You can only count what’s on your side for your team.
When you pass a cemetery on your side, you lose all your points, but only if someone on the other side of the vehicle sees it and says, "Your cows are buried!"
The team with the most points wins.
Distracting the other team is fair and considered to be a strategic maneuver!
Points:
Cows: 1 point each
White horse: 50 points
Windmill: 50 points
Barn: 20 points
Red barn: 50 points
Sheep or goats: 1 point each
Cemetery: wipes out points
