games to play in the car with family

Ah, the classic road trip conundrum: how to keep the family sane without resorting to endless screens. Try the ever-reliable "I Spy" where someone picks an object in sight and others guess it; it’s like hide-and-seek for the eyes. Then there's the license plate game—spot plates from as many different regions as possible, because suddenly everyone becomes a geography expert. Don't forget the old favourite, 20 Questions, where one person thinks of something and everyone else grills them with yes/no questions until the truth emerges (or mental exhaustion sets in). For a bit more cerebral fun, try the Alphabet Game, spotting words on signs in alphabetical order. These games are free, infinitely replayable, and slightly less likely to cause car sickness than on-screen alternatives.
