family road trip games Page 6

Long drives with kids can turn a saint into a swear jar, so arm yourself with road‑trip games that actually work.

Try 20 Questions with an Aussie twist—native animals, footy teams, landmarks. Run the Alphabet Scavenger Hunt using signs and number plates, A through Z. Play Number‑Plate Cricket: consonants score runs, vowels are wickets, and Q is a free hit. Spin a “Fortunately/Unfortunately” story where each person flips the plot. Old‑faithful I Spy and Would You Rather still punch above their weight. And when cabin fever peaks, unveil The Silent Game and award a Tim Tam to the victor.
