Car Games

Going on road trips is all about pleasure and friends-at least until you have children. Then it becomes a game of patience-how many times can you listen to them say "are we there yet?" without leaving them on a highway turnpike? Hopefully it never comes to that.

In the meantime, if you want a load off your shoulders so you can concentrate on the road, you should consider owning car games. Some car games don't require a purchase. These include such classics as "I spy with my little eye," the celebrity game, the alphabet game, etc. Unfortunately, these usually require involvement from the driver to keep the car games regulated and fair. This is clearly not the best answer, unless you still have that turnpike in mind. If you think the very thought of leaving your children at a turnpike is inhumane then you probably should invest in some portable car games to amuse your kids.

There are miniature versions of most classic games-as such, they officially become "car games." Examples of these car games are miniature chess, miniature battleship, miniature scrabble (if you like being a dictionary and a driver), and miniature checkers. Sometimes your children, in the vein of many modern offspring, will tell you how "stupid" these car games are-"absolutely lame" they will say, "and totally uncool." If so, you may want to explain to them that videogames rot the brain. They won't listen-their brains will be too far gone-so you should probably then consider buying them a portable system with car games by the dozen built into them. Just make sure to get headphones too: the songs are cute the first ten times, and then the turnpike starts looking feasible again. For the sake of your sanity and for the amusement of your children: consider car games a necessity.
