Fun & Games
— BY LINDSAY SHAPKA
Keep the little ones (or the big ones
with an attention span of little ones)
entertained and unplugged
with some good old-
fashioned car games!
Word Games
This is one of those games
that can go on forever.
It begins with one player
picking a category, for
example, “food.” The player then says a
type of food, and the next player has to say
another type of food that begins with the
last letter of the word. For example, if the
first player says “apple,” the next player has
to say a food that begins with the letter “e.”
Answers cannot be repeated, and the winner
gets to pick the next category.

The Alphabet Game
In this game, each player must find the letters of the
alphabet, in order, on road signs, license plates, or nearby
buildings. The word or license plate must begin with the
letter. For example, a Dairy Queen sign can be used for a
D or a Q. When a player spots the letter, they must shout
it out to the rest of the
players, because
only one player
can use the
letters found on
each sign! The first
player to find all
the letters of the
alphabet is the
winner.
Would You Rather?
This game poses a dilemma in the form of a question
beginning with “would you rather…?” The dilemma can
be between two supposedly good options, such as,
“Would you rather have the power of flight or the power
of invisibility?”, or it can be between two supposedly bad
options, as in, “Would you rather loose your thumb or your
big toe?” The players then must choose their answers —
answering “neither” or “both” is against the rules. Debates,
and questions clarifying the options, are welcome!
