Traveling Scavenger Hunt
This game works best after you've reached your destination. If you've planned your trip ahead of time and you know the place you will be visiting, put together a list of objects or tasks your teenagers must complete before the end of the trip. Make some of the objects or tasks easy and others harder to find or do. If you have more than one teen, allow them to compete against each other. The winner gets to choose a place to eat or choose an activity to do while traveling. To play this game in a car, make a list of objects to find that you will pass on your way to your destination. Some examples would include, but aren't limited to, fast-food restaurants, road signs, motels and animals.
License Plate Game
See if your teenagers can stay awake long enough to find a license plate for every state. For every state they see, have them write it down on a piece of paper or check it off from a list. Make it even more fun by setting a time limit on how long they have to find each license plate.
Going Solo
Allow your teen to take charge of the radio for a little while by playing this game. Place a CD into the car's disc player and play a song. One person in the vehicle is elected to sing at a time. That person then sings along with the music for a couple of seconds and then the music is turned down where it can't be heard. The person singing has to see if they can remember the lyrics and keep up with the tempo as the volume is slowly turned back up after about 10 seconds.
Movie Scene
This game is pretty straightforward. Each person chooses a movie in their head to say famous quotes from. The only clue they can give the other passengers is what genre the movie is. The person quotes a line from a movie and each passenger has to guess what movie it is from.
