The alphabet game
The classic car game: players look for words that start with each letter of the alphabet. A great way to pass the time on a road trip (as long as you’re not driving exclusively through the plains of Wyoming or something).
First letter, last letter
A simple talking, thinking game. You don’t have to play with winners or losers; it’s mostly good for occupying time while waiting or driving.
Tell a story
This is a fun talking game for a smaller group, good for encouraging creativity (and usually silliness).
3-D triple-decker tic-tac-toe
Like tic-tac-toe, but with three layers, thus decreasing the likelihood the game will end in a tie and increasing the thought involved and the fun.
Tic-tac-toe
Yep, tic-tac-toe, the simple, classic paper game for two players.
