Play Road Trip Games

A third user said, “A great road trip game: Think of two words that rhyme, and give people hints for each.”
Bring Books/Reading Devices
A Redditor suggested, “Bring a kindle/nook with many books on it. Reading makes the time go by really fast, especially if it’s a good book.”
A second user replied, “Audio books are the way to go. It made my 22 hour solo round trip much easier to handle. I just don’t get as lost in music.”
Another Redditor added, “Have a passenger read a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book. See if you can make it to your destination without a bad end.”
