Rock-paper-scissors
Rock-paper-scissors is an easy, fast game that everyone probably already knows. But I like to be comprehensive, so here are some rock-paper-scissors instructions, including a video and a link to some interesting tips at how to win.
Say the same thing
This is a cooperative talking game from the band OK Go. For two players, where players try to name the same word at the same time. It’s easy and fast and can get funny. It’s a perfect game for filling up empty hours or killing time.
Build a cabin in your mind
An imagining game where players talk out loud, describing a dream cabin or house. It’s best for a small group of players and is ideal for playing on long car rides.
Actor/movie loop
This is a talking game where you try to find links between actors via the movies they star in. You can play with two people or a larger group, and you can play cooperatively or competitively. Even if you’re not big movie buffs – don’t worry. You can still play and enjoy it.
Feather
This is a really simple game kids can play in a car. It’s not so much a game as an…activity to pass the time? Or a way to tease/persecute the person sitting in the middle of the backseat. Players basically use the momentum of the car to squish each other.
