How to keep entertained on road trips

A few games you can play on a road trip that you would only need your memory to play.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• your memory/imagination

1. Celebrities Names- This game is played with two or more people. The first person will say the name of a celebrity like "Michael Jackson" the next person in the circle will have to say a celebrity with the first letter of (the celebrity's) last name. If Michael Jackson is used the first letter of his last name starts with a "J". The next person could say any celebrity name that starts with a J. If the next person were to say "Jessie Jackson" that is a "double" J so the order you are going in the circle reverses back the other way. You would also change directions if you named a celebrity with one name like Cher or Madonna.
   Rules:
   If no one else in your group knows the celebrity you say then you need to say another. The group also decides how long the players have to come up with a celebrity name before they are out.

2. Stars in the Movies- This game goes in a circle as well. The first person will choose an actor/actress and a movie that actor/actress was in. Like Julia Roberts then pick a movie she was in like Pretty Woman. The game would start with Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. The next person could say an actor/actress that was in that movie like Richard Gere and a movie he was in or they could say Julia Roberts and a different movie she was in. You can use one actor/actress only three times then you have to use someone else from the last movie said. Here is an example - Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman,(next person) Richard Gere in Chicago, (next person) Richard Gere in Runaway Bride, (next person) Joan Cusack in Grosse Point Blank etc.
   Rules:
   You can use the same actor/actress three times. You can use anyone who was in the movie if you know their name. No cheating. The group playing needs to decide on how long you have to come up with the next actor and movie before they are out.

3. I spy.
   License plate game.
