Nothing is more inspiring than traveling to a new place. And to make good use of the muse, why don't you try to create a fun story with your family? The game is straightforward: one person starts by saying a sentence, and the next adds a new twist to the plot. In the end, who knows? Maybe you can come up with the next big Hollywood movie! If not, it makes for some quality time with the ones you love the most.
Curiously enough, this game is inspired by an old modernist storytelling technique known as 'exquisite corpse.'
The grown-up version of the game can be a lot of fun as well, especially if you get creative with the things you need to spot. It takes some proper timing to win the game too, so it's not as easy as it may seem!

It's a road trip classic but never goes out of fashion. Using every letter in the alphabet, challenge your children to come up with an animal starting with the letter A, B, C, and each other letter. The best part is that you can change the theme to whatever you want. Animals are always fun, but you can also play the game with countries, cities, celebrities, types of food, and so on.

Another road trip must, the '20 Questions' game invites its participants to become part-time detectives and find out whatever someone else was thinking of. The game rules are straightforward: one person thinks of an object or noun, and someone else must ask not more than 20 questions to determine what that object or noun is.
The '20 Questions' game can make for a bonafide mind puzzle at a pro-level. But even when it's less challenging, it's always a good one to play.

Play an on-the-road scavenger hunt
