Fun In the Car
Riding in the car can be really boring.
Here is a fun game called “Yellow Car”
One person is “it” and selects the color of a car and everyone else tries to be the first to spot that color.
The game always starts with a yellow car and that is why it is called “Yellow Car.”
The person who is “it” says, “Yellow car, go!” When he or she says go the first person to see a car of that color says, “Yellow car! Right there beside us” (or where ever the car is).
After seeing the car, the first person to say it wins. They then become the new “it” person and can call the color of the next car to be search for. Only the first round must be a yellow car. After that round any color can be chosen.
Every time a new round is started the “it” player says the color of a car and then says “Go!”
Extra suggestions:
The person who is it cannot call out the color of a car they already see.
Players must decide in advance if the “it” player is allowed to search for the car.
Don’t pick hard to find car colors.
Some cars are very close to two colors, for example a greenish-blue car can look green or blue. The person who is “it” decides if the car is a match to the color he or she called out.
Since the game is just a fun way to pass time on a long drive, don’t make it too competitive. Just have fun.
