I work for a lady who employs 17 moms around in our school district, we shuttle kids to school and then take them to their homes after school. We all LOVE what we do, and love any ideas on how to engage the kids while we have them in our vans! Thank you so much for sharing these fun games!!

Oh --and you asked what other kind of thinking games we do? The only ones I know of (before reading this blog post!!) are:

1) I SPY. Where you pick out something in the room you're in, and the other people have to ask yes/no type questions to guess which object you're thinking of.

2) Fifteen Questions. Similar to I spy above --- but the object can be any random thing! We played this in the car today and the objects today were: Tomato, George Washington and a KNEE!! Start off with "is it animal, vegetable, mineral, or person?" And then ask questions about SIZE of the object (smaller than a car? Bigger than a basketball?) and questions about where you would find it (is it in my home? Does it live in the jungle/desert/ocean) etc. The main rule is, whoever is IT has to write down the object first! On a scrap of paper -- so they don't change their mind halfway through the questions haha

Thanks again for your fun ideas, I can't wait to try these with my RidesRUs kids -- and they will be such fun games on road trips with my own family!

That would be fun, Susan. I'll give the idea a think to see what we could do.

An actor? How cool! I taught drama for many years so my games are influenced by that. Fortunately/unfortunately is one we used to do - I think it may be from Theatre Sports/Improv. Maybe we can get our heads together one day and write something for our blogs.

You've given me some ideas about games that I did as an actor and to try and adapt them for my kids!
