How to Make Long Car Rides Fun

End that road trip blues with these entertaining car ride games

Are your friends annoying you with constant shouts of "Are we there yet?" Tired of sitting in the car for hours reeling from boredom? Take a look at these tips to make those long car rides more fun. Remember old times, play games and start a party. In no time, you'll be at your destination and those boring road trips will be cured.

Instructions

1. Strike up a conversation of remember whens. Reminisce on old times. Trust me, this is a great way to break the ice if you’re riding with old friends you haven’t seen in a long time.

2. Play a game of I Spy, a car ride classic. In this game, you say "I spy with my little eye" and say what you see. Take it up a notch by narrowing it by topic, like cars or road signs.

3. Play a 5-second Radio and Don't Forget the Lyrics games. Turn the radio to a channel that plays Top 40, hip hop, pop or R&B. As soon as a new song comes on, the passenger in the front seat should let the song play for 5 seconds, then turn the volume all the way down. The passenger who guesses the song wins a point. Then, turn the song back up. Let it play for about 30 seconds, then turn the volume all the way down. The passenger should be singing along with the song, and try to sing the next 10 remaining lyrics after the song has been turned all the way down. The passenger who can do this also gets a point.

4. Start a "Movie of the Year" discussion. Each passenger must say which movie they've seen this year that is by far the best movie they've seen all year and why.

5. Start a "Dream Trip" discussion. Talk about where in the world you'd like to visit, what you would do there and where you would stay if money was not an issue.

6. Talk about where you want to be in five years and how you plan to get there. Have each passenger go around and participate.
