The alphabet game
The classic car game: players look for words that start with each letter of the alphabet. A great way to pass the time on a road trip (as long as you’re not driving exclusively through the plains of Wyoming or something).
First letter, last letter
A simple talking, thinking game. You don’t have to play with winners or losers; it’s mostly good for occupying time while waiting or driving.
Tell a story
This is a fun talking game for a smaller group, good for encouraging creativity (and usually silliness).
Name that tune
A classic guessing game involving music. Use an iPod (or CD player or tape player or record player…), or a computer, a piano, or your voice, then play part of a song and get others to guess the name of the tune.
Questions Only
A funny talking game for a group. Players try to communicate using only questions. But it can be more challenging than you think!
