Corvettes vs. Porsches

One person chooses Corvettes and the second person chooses Porsches (or you can choose whichever kind of car you prefer). Each person gets a point when they see one of their cars. Whoever has more points by the end of the trip wins. It’s ok to use distraction techniques to keep your opponent from noticing one of their cars! Optional: take away two points if you see one of your cars broken down by the side of the road or being towed by a tow truck; get five extra points if you see one of your cars pulled over by a police car.

Clump

One person thinks of a number between one and ten and tells the other player the number. Then both players hold one hand behind their backs and prepare to hold out any number of fingers they choose. On the count of three, they show their fingers. If the fingers added together match the chosen number, then the game ends. Otherwise, put your hands behind your back and try again. This game can be played with any number of players--if you have more players, it’s actually more fun if you stick with low numbers (like between one and five).

Semi Truck Game

Each person takes turns trying to get a semi truck driver to blow his/her horn. When it’s your turn, wait until you are passing a semi-truck and make the horn-blowing sign (make a fist, bend your arm up and make a pulling down motion). If the truck blows its diesel horn, you get a point, otherwise you don’t. Then it’s the next person’s turn. Whoever gets the most points by the end of the trip wins.
