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.

Monkey in the middle
Monkey in the middle is a throwing and catching game for a small group. Players try to keep the ball away from one player, the “monkey.”
Presidents’ Day games
If you’re looking for a Presidents Day game, this is the right place! I have three free Presidents Day game printables: a matching game about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, a historical fact pictionary list, and a mingling game featuring even more U.S. presidents.
Who am I?
A character card guessing game for a large group of people. You’re assigned a character or person and you have to ask questions to other players until you figure out who you are. It’s a great mingling game because it can encourage you to talk to lots of people in the group.
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.
Breakfast combo
This game is a variation of twenty questions. It’s a little more complicated than twenty questions and involves more thought for both the guesser and the one answering the questions. So if you like twenty questions but it’s getting a little old, this’ll probably be the perfect game for you to try.
Thanksgiving gratitude tradition
A Thanksgiving tradition my mother-in-law always does. It’s a talking reflection activity, a great way to develop grateful hearts because it goes beyond the typical “Name one thing you’re grateful for this year.”
