One tried and true children’s game is More than You.
Pick an object that appears regularly on the road you’re traveling: blackbirds, do not pass signs, farmhouses (but not objects that appear too frequently, such as rocks or fence posts). Each child looks out a specific window and each time the object is spotted, they count a point. For wild cards, which is great with older kids, name a single, rare object that is worth 5 points – or one that costs the child 2 points.
Materials: None needed
Ages: 5 and up
