Question 1 of 10
1. Finally the packing is done, the house is locked up and you are on the interstate. Uh oh, ten minutes in, the kids are already asking "are we there yet?" You remember a game you played in the car years ago. It had something to do with looking at road signs and license plates, finding letters of the alphabet. Quick, the kids are getting out of control. What was the name of that darn game? Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. Finally, you have escaped from the city traffic gridlock and have made it to the rural farmlands. The natives in the back seat are getting restless and need more entertainment. These farms trigger a long lost memory of a travel game involving one type of farm animal. What the heck was the name of that game? Think hard. Did you have to dig deep to remember its name? Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. Oh no, the kids want to sing! You are trapped and can't escape. They start singing a seemingly endless song about beer! All you can think of is that you are going to need a lot of beer when you get to Grandma's. How many bottles of beer are there in this catchy song? Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. Finally, a break. Time for lunch and a stretch of the legs. All too soon, it is time to load the spouse and kids back into the car. Oops, shouldn't have got them that caffeinated soda. A simple game is needed to calm them down and you throw a pencil and pad into the back seat, telling them to play which game of x's and o's? Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. After what feels like a week, you are finally halfway through your trip. But you can't catch a break! Now the wife is getting antsy and wants to play a game too. You see a very cool Snowy Egret perched on a fence post and decide to kick off a new game by saying a line that ends with "with my little eye." What game have you just started that has everyone in the car looking out the windows? Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. Just when you thought everything was under control and it would be a smooth trip the rest of the way, you notice the kids in the rear view mirror taking turns punching each other in the arm! Turning around to yell at them to stop, they tell you they are just playing a pretty famous travel game. You get in the spirit, spot the object that requires a punch, and lay one on your spouse's arm. She/he is NOT amused! What is the name of this game? Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. It's getting into late afternoon. After a quick stop at a roadside ice cream shop, everyone is finally happy. However, there are still a few hours to go and you must come up with another game to keep those little minds busy! It's a game named after a television character from the 1950s. Oh well, even if the kids don't remember who this is, the game is easy to play. Can you remember this name game? Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. Unfortunately, the name game has run its course and the road crew is getting restless again. Before the "are we there yet?" questions start rattling your brain again, you decide to try the pencil and paper trick again. You wishfully hope it will satisfy the travel grumbles. Which "deadly" game has been popular for a long time on road trips? Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. It's starting to get dark and it is still a couple of hours to get to Grandma's house. The paper and pencil games are done and you need to come up with something quick to keep those pent up passengers from climbing all over your back about how long this trip is. Aha! You remember a classic game that is also known as "Animal, Vegetable, Mineral." The kids cheer! What is the other name this game has? Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. Just when you have survived this trip in one piece, there is dissension in the ranks! Everyone is anxiously awaiting arriving at Grandma's and have lost interest in the other games. You only need to come up with one more to last a few minutes to stop brother from pulling sister's pony tail and her poking him with that pencil you forgot to take earlier. Ah, you tell them to spend the last five miles of the trip playing which game using just their hands, trying to pin the other person? Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Finally the packing is done, the house is locked up and you are on the interstate. Uh oh, ten minutes in, the kids are already asking "are we there yet?" You remember a game you played in the car years ago. It had something to do with looking at road signs and license plates, finding letters of the alphabet. Quick, the kids are getting out of control. What was the name of that darn game?

Answer: Alphabet Game

The Alphabet Game is the ticket! Phew, you have bought yourself some calm time! The Alphabet game involved players trying to find letters of the alphabet in order from A to Z. After all players have come up with a word beginning with A, the order reverses and it is time for B words. Players get a minus point if they skip a letter. Winner is the one with the fewest minus points.
2. Finally, you have escaped from the city traffic gridlock and have made it to the rural farmlands. The natives in the back seat are getting restless and need more entertainment. These farms trigger a long lost memory of a travel game involving one type of farm animal. What the heck was the name of that game? Think hard. Did you have to dig deep to remember its name?

Answer: Bury the Horses

Bury the Horses has players trying to spot horses in fields along the highway. The first player to say "my horses" gets to claim them for one point each. Be sharp, though. If you mistakenly claim a cow, you lose a point. But beware, if a cemetery is passed and a player calls "Bury the Horses," everyone loses their points and it starts all over again.
3. Oh no, the kids want to sing! You are trapped and can't escape. They start singing a seemingly endless song about beer! All you can think of is that you are going to need a lot of beer when you get to Grandma's. How many bottles of beer are there in this catchy song?

Answer: 99

Yep, 99 bottles of beer on the wall. Luckily, the kids ran out of steam at around 50 bottles so the torture was shorter than it could have been! However, being the poor driver, you just can't get that little ditty out of your head even after its over!
4. Finally, a break. Time for lunch and a stretch of the legs. All too soon, it is time to load the spouse and kids back into the car. Oops, shouldn't have got them that caffeinated soda. A simple game is needed to calm them down and you throw a pencil and pad into the back seat, telling them to play which game of x's and o's?

Answer: Tic - Tac - Toe

The time honored Tic - Tac - Toe can take up a lot of time. A fun game that traditionally results in many more ties than victories. As long as the kids don't let the game degenerate into a pencil fencing competition, you should be fine for a while!
5. After what feels like a week, you are finally halfway through your trip. But you can't catch a break! Now the wife is getting antsy and wants to play a game too. You see a very cool Snowy Egret perched on a fence post and decide to kick off a new game by saying a line that ends with "with my little eye." What game have you just started that has everyone in the car looking out the windows?

Answer: I Spy

I Spy is a great game that gets everyone involved. Depending on how fast the driver is going, you might have to be real quick on discovering the "spied" item before it passes. First one to guess correctly gets a point and gets to start off the next round.
6. Just when you thought everything was under control and it would be a smooth trip the rest of the way, you notice the kids in the rear view mirror taking turns punching each other in the arm! Turning around to yell at them to stop, they tell you they are just playing a pretty famous travel game. You get in the spirit, spot the object that requires a punch, and lay one on your spouse's arm. She/he is NOT amused! What is the name of this game?

Answer: All are correct

All of these answers are variations of the game. It is getting tougher to play because Volkswagen Beetles are becoming rarer but nowadays, any Volkswagen counts. Still, it isn't a good idea to use this game to start trouble with the spouse!
7. It's getting into late afternoon. After a quick stop at a roadside ice cream shop, everyone is finally happy. However, there are still a few hours to go and you must come up with another game to keep those little minds busy! It's a game named after a television character from the 1950s. Oh well, even if the kids don't remember who this is, the game is easy to play. Can you remember this name game?

Answer: Howdy Doody Game

The Howdy Doody name game involved coming up with a name, say George Washington. The next player has to come up with a new name that uses either part of the previous name. If a player can't come up with a new name, they are eliminated. It is called Howdy Doody because that name is banned because theoretically no other famous name can be made from it. Fortunately, this game can last a long time, a great thing on a long trip!
8. Unfortunately, the name game has run its course and the road crew is getting restless again. Before the "are we there yet?" questions start rattling your brain again, you decide to try the pencil and paper trick again. You wishfully hope it will satisfy the travel grumbles. Which "deadly" game has been popular for a long time on road trips?

Answer: Hangman

Hangman is a simple game to play and involves drawing a gallows. As each wrong letter is called, another part of your man is added. Once all body parts are there, you are hanged. A variation, more politically correct, is called Horse. But it doesn't matter to you! You are smart by picking really long words to take up more time!
9. It's starting to get dark and it is still a couple of hours to get to Grandma's house. The paper and pencil games are done and you need to come up with something quick to keep those pent up passengers from climbing all over your back about how long this trip is. Aha! You remember a classic game that is also known as "Animal, Vegetable, Mineral." The kids cheer! What is the other name this game has?

Answer: Twenty Questions

Twenty Questions is a truly classic game. One person thinks of something and fields questions answering yes or no. The game can be varied to use specific categories. But all that matters not to you! Everyone is happy as darkness falls! You have succeeded in surviving the trip so far and only a few miles are left to go.
10. Just when you have survived this trip in one piece, there is dissension in the ranks! Everyone is anxiously awaiting arriving at Grandma's and have lost interest in the other games. You only need to come up with one more to last a few minutes to stop brother from pulling sister's pony tail and her poking him with that pencil you forgot to take earlier. Ah, you tell them to spend the last five miles of the trip playing which game using just their hands, trying to pin the other person?

Answer: Thumb Wrestling

The simplest of games, thumb wrestling, gets you safely and half sanely to Grandma's house. The relief washes over you! However, nagging in the back of your mind is the thought that the trip is only half over. You get to do it all over again in a couple of days and you are running out of games!
