These are games to play in your vehicle while cross country wondering.
1) Where's my finger. One player must sit in the front seat, the other in the back. The places to hide ones finger is limitless. They include in other body parts, things or on a map. Tourist brochures are especially good. "Nope wrong. My pinkie ain't in my ear. Not in the bag of Cheetoes. Or full of Black Hills gold. It is in the "Unexplainable Cosmos Mystery Area." Or is it?"
2) Hit the tumble weed. Ok so the driver tries her best to hit the fast moving dry brush. Others cheer and bet on success.
3) What do I gotta do to make this semi driver honk. Driver must pull along semi and kids do what ever it takes to illicit a honk of the air horn. 32 honks and we where in Rapid City. Truckers where hitting detours.
4) BISON! BISON! Ok there are no set rules to this game. Just yell Bison when ever you want to change the subject or get attention.
5) Wrong Song. Sing any pop song you want from any time era but change the words to cowboy lyrics. "My spurs, my spurs, my lovely little spurs. In the back and in the front. Get you love drunk on the saspirilla. Make you scream ,Make you Scream....."
6) How slow is this Dakotan. These people are over friendly and ask way to many questions. We know half this state is closed down because it is not tourist season. That is why we are here. Stop asking. We are doing our own "Minnesotans Gone Wild", video.
7) What won't these donkeys eat. Sorry you will just have to wait for the picture.
8) WWLIWD? Short for what would Laura Ingals Wilder do.
9) Get Lost. Easily played when driving on closed mountain logging trails, caves, large never ending Cabella's.
10) Name something they don't sell in Wall drug. Clearly labeled radio-active material, defibarators and live animals.

Your boys must giggle almost constantly :-D
Kids and cars generate such energy. Here in Southeast Georgia we play "Guess What The Buzzard Ate" and "Name That Roadkill"
Here in SF we just play dodge the potholes – usually unsuccessfully, try and hit the pedestrian while running the red light – usually successfully, dream: where-I’d-rather-be – while stuck in traffic – only successful when you get woken up by the guy behind you whose honking his horn, and the new fave of course is: guessing which off-ramp will be closed today – thereby making me drive miles outta my way – always dealers choice and a house favorite to win!
Though I gotta admit that those pale in comparison to playing the parking games like: “what did the junkies leave in my car this time and are the windows still going to be intact” or the ever inventive and somewhat taxing: “if I park here will I get a ticket?” And let’s not forget “Ghee I coulda sworn I parked my car here!” which usually means that it’s been towed or stolen – usually towed.
Maybe we should start playing: “what is that man on the corner selling?” Or: “why is that guy trying to fall on his face?” Or how about a little math type quiz to help the kids out like: “How many drunks does it take to kill a 40 ounce of Ol’ E Malt Liquor?”
Ah, the possibilities are endless!
All of those are too funny , I can't wait fot the next road trip! lol..and um Fromage..I hope I don't have to play any of those games any time soon lol..
