Road trips have the potential to be extremely fun, but they can also
turn into long, boring nightmares. There are plenty of ways you can
entertain yourself and your travel companions while on the open road,
but sometimes it’s hard to come up with something in the spur of the
moment when you have little for inspiration besides the monotonous
landscape slowly passing by. Here are a few ideas to help ensure your
road trip this summer is as entertaining as possible.<br />
<br />
<b>Games For The Drive</b><b> </b><br />
<br />
The best way to keep busy and entertained in a cramped little car is
to play classic road trip games like I spy, 20 Questions or ABC category
games that test everyone’s knowledge of a specific subject. For
instance, choose a category such as things ‘Things Vegetarians Can’t
Eat’ and then have everyone takes turns saying an answer that
corresponds with each letter of the alphabet, i.e. “Aardvarks; Baboons;
Catfish.” You can make up your own categories or variations depending on
the age group and interests of your passengers.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Karaoke To-Go</b><br />
<br />
Music is a great way to pass the time, especially if everyone on the
road trip enjoys the same bands. If it’s nice out, roll down the windows
and sing out loud to your favourite songs; road trips are awesome
because even if you’re a terrible singer, anyone who hears you will
likely never see you again (except for the people in the car with you!)<br />
<br />
<b>Audiobooks or Group Stories</b><b> </b><br />
<br />
If you are a creative bunch, try creating group stories where each
person says one word to add to the storytelling. It’s a completely
collaborative game that usually results in something that sounds
ridiculous, but it’s a great way to kill some time and bond with your
travel buddies. If you don’t feel like making up your own story,
purchase an audiobook to listen to for part of the drive.Private Holiday UKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01156800136705326355noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1596419042696477634.post-35840684140055285942016-04-15T00:04:00.003-07:002016-04-15T00:07:55.345-07:00A Checklist For Your Trip<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
