10 fun pranks to make time pass faster in the car with the kids

Fathers and mothers know that a car ride with the children, however short it may be, can turn into a nightmare if it is not well planned. But beyond the snack, mobile devices and playlists musicals, it is necessary to have another card up your sleeve: games that occupy time and are possible to play within the reduced space of a moving car.

We, from awesome.club, we love the classic games of family outings when screens didn’t exist yet and today we’re going to tell you which are our favorites. Just join!

The first person to play starts by saying: “Yesterday I went to the supermarket and bought one (at this moment the player speaks a product)”. The next player has to repeat the entire phrase and add another item. And so, successively, each player repeats the entire sentence with the previously mentioned items and adding one more to the list. Whoever makes a mistake is out of the game, and the last one left is the winner. You can play until you get tired.

The first player says a word and, going clockwise, the next player needs to say another one that starts with the last syllable of the previous word, for example: car — clothes — park — cheese. The game ends when a player cannot think of any words.

This game is for those in the backseat. It is necessary to have pen and paper or a board on which you can draw and erase several times. The player selected to draw chooses an object inside the car and starts drawing, and the other players have to guess what it is. If the person who draws is not a great artist, he can give you tips on what he chose. The first one to get it right is the winner.

The first player chooses some object inside or outside the car and says: “I see”, followed by some characteristic of the chosen item, which can be color, shape, etc. This player gives tips until someone hits the object in question. The winner of the match follows the game in the same way as the previous player.

Rainy days can be quite stressful in the car, but it’s still possible to have fun. In this game, each participant chooses one of the drops of water that runs on the car window. We recommend that before starting the game, you choose a starting point and an arrival point. The fastest drop will determine who is the winner of the game.

The person driving chooses a category, let’s say in this case it’s animals that live in the sea. Players need, in order, to name the animals they know, one at a time, for example: dolphin, turtle, whale, tuna. The player who is left without a word is the one who loses and leaves the game.

Upon entering the car, each player chooses a color. During the journey, each passenger counts how many cars of the chosen color pass by. At the end of the tour, everyone counts and whoever has the most points wins. The cool thing about this game is to determine some prize, which can be a special breakfast or a free day without chores at home, for example.

Here each player asks funny questions to the other players and each one needs to argue the reason for their choice. For example: “Would you rather have 20 fingers or toes?”, “Would you rather never eat chocolate again or never play video games again?” It’s a super fun game that makes a lot of laughs!

This game is especially fun for kids who are learning to count. The idea is to count everything that passes along the way, for example: traffic signs, pharmacies, gas stations, white cars, trucks.

All the people in the car decide on a word and each player must sing a piece of a song that has that word. After everyone sings, they can choose another word to continue the game.
