Whenever my friends and I are bored on the road, we like to see who can find the most restaurants. If we want an insanely hard challenge, we see who can spot the most mattress stores, or diners such as Panda Express.

When we get bored of that, we have a contest to see who can eat the most Warheads(Sourest candy EVER) at once. Then we all laugh at each others faces.

Grab a copy of the World Almanac paperback version. There’s a million things to play with the info in there.

For instance, pick a state and start going around the room/car naming cities. Whomever is the last one standing gets a point. Continue with the other states and use the almanac to verify any conflicts.

Another could be currencies. Start with a penny and name who is depicted. Can u make it to Woodrow Wilson?

Thanks for all the new ideas! My significant other and I have fun passing time by doing name 5 -e.g. I say name me 5 cars from cars the movie then he comes up with his category such as name me 5 types of airplalnes or sometimes we say name me 5 more of what the other person had requested. Also we take songs that have love in them he says or sings one them then I have to sing or name a song with love in it that starts with the letter that ended the previous song or has a word in what you sing that starts with the ending letter of the previous song. We also do 20 questions with animal vegetatble or mineral. By now those are probably on your list however wanted to share with you anyway

Here’s one I just learned last night!! You need to play with people who know lots of musical bands. You start with the band ABBA. The next person then has to think of a band that starts the last letter of the band. So, say Ac/Dc. Then the next person has to think of a band that starts with a c. It’s a fun way to pass time.

Here are some of our faves:
1. Create a story, word-by-word. Each person says one word at a time, and the whole groups is entertained creating sentences (and really bizarre stories).

2. Uno. It just stays fun.

3. Being too afraid be bored – i.e., whenever my aunt is driving us. (For more on that trip, check out http://blog.nileguide.com/2009/03/02/travelogues-why-hiking-the-alps-is-better-than-driving-them/)

A bit late to post but a game that has kept us entertained (being two adults and a six year old) is where you say a word and the next person has to say one that starts with the first letter the same as the last letter of the last word. eg: Elephan(T), Tim(E), Egg, (G)host etc. You can make it more complicated by limiting it to catergories.
