Car rides, kids, fighting and GAMES!

I went out with my sister the other day and her 5 and 6 year old were arguing and poking each other in the back seat. So to keep them busy I had them play a car game and look for 5 of a certain color car. First it was green, but there were so many green cars it ended quickly. I had no idea how many people owned green cars! So we made it 5 yellow cars, which was harder. They only found 2 before we got home and were going to continue the game on the next car ride.

I got to thinking of other things to look for besides cars and I came up with this list for the next car ride with kids:

-Flags (that aren't American flags, more like novelty, sports, spring, etc flags)
-For Sale Signs in front yards
-Two toned cars
-Someone riding a bike
-Construction machines (dump truck, etc)
-Garbage truck
-Pizza delivery car
-Ambulance
-Soda delivery truck
-Billboard with an certain pic on it (eg: animal, food, etc)

Now this list will depend on the age of the kids as well as where your driving and how hard you want the game to be. Obviously some of these you won't see on a highway, but you may see on a trip to the store or school. And some may be much harder to find b/c you don't always see Soda delivery trucks as you would a flag.

If you can think of anything else that would be fun to look for, please leave a comment! It would be great to hear more ideas and games!

Have fun traveling to your destination no matter if it's vacation, or to the grocery store!
Enjoy being a mom all day!
