A Game to Play with the Kids for Our Road Trips



In the shower this morning, I thought of a game to play with the kids while we’re driving.

My daughter is 3 now, so she’ll be a Pro at her colors. My son, who will turn 6 next month should be wizard level.

The Game

We’ll each choose a color. The first person to spot 5 vehicles that color wins. Maybe we take it up a notch with 10 vehicles.

I’ll resist telling them the best way to win is to choose white. I’m curious about what colors they will pick and what different colors, if any, they will choose based on who’s winning.

Mix a little problem solving with some training in wagers. I love it.

Some of my best ideas come from shower time.
