The ABC Car Ride Game
We started playing this game in the car a couple of months ago, and I don’t know why we haven’t played it sooner! It’s a great argument and back seat bumping diffuser, and even helps the youngest ones recognize their ABC’s.
Start out looking for road signs with the letter “A”. You can either have each child find an “A” or have one person find the “A” then move on to the letter “B.” The problem with the second way is that the older kids almost always find the letters first. Keep it up intil you get to the end of the alphabet!
Today when my youngest two started to argue over something, I just said, “Can anyone find an “A?” They immediately forgot their argument and the game kept them busy all the way to and from picking up my older boys.
Even my 9 and 12 year old got into the spirit of the game!
Try it out, it just might work for you.
