They say that travel is a small life, and it is only up to you to decide how bright and interesting it will be. Your adventure starts right after you leave the house. The final destination can become just the cherry on the pie, while the travel itself can bring many positive emotions and get family members together. If you cannot find time to travel with your family because of numerous assignments, pay someone to do homework and get your papers done on time. There is always a way out if you have a strong desire. If you travel by car, you can arrange an entertainment program that will involve all “team” members. Turn on your imagination to the fullest, and enjoy a wonderful opportunity to spend time with your dearest people.
Noticing objects around
It is an old-fashioned child’s game, which fits the company of adults too. You agree on what you will notice, for instance, railroad crossings, crows, dogs, or trees. You can complicate the game a little and agree to count bearded men, black dogs, or green trucks. Whoever first saw and named the desired item gets one point. The game continues until someone reaches the agreed number of points.
Playing 21
If you know how to play a self-titled card game and like it, then you can try your hand at playing its version with number plates. The rules are as follows: you take one “card” (number plate) and add the numbers. As a result, you should get 21 or the closest possible number that doesn’t exceed it. For example, you take 316 and add 3 + 1 + 6 = 10 to the total, and if someone else takes 986, they will get 23, which is too much. The first player can take one more “card,” and the second has already lost.
Coming up with the stories
If you like creativity and would rather ask someone to do my math homework for me to spend this time on something more interesting, you will like this activity. Here you will let your imagination go and make your fantasy work to the fullest. And one of the greatest moments is that everyone will win in any way, so there will be no reason to start quarreling. So, try to make a story about the people around you. Choose one person or a couple, describe their lives, decide where they come from, what they are doing here, etc. You can choose any direction and describe any part of their life, for instance, their morning routine or plans for the vacation. Each family member can choose their own “character,” draw others’ attention and then share your story.
Words searching
If you turn on a radio station where you can listen to some kind of a program, you can think of a word, for example, “news,” or “red,” and look for this word in the following DJ’s speech or songs. When you notice the required word, you can say something out loud to draw other’s attention. One who has gathered the demanded number of scores wins a prize. You can decide on the latter beforehand. You can listen to something or search for the words around, using, for example, road signposts, etc. You can also ask a question that will require a monosyllabic answer like, “Is speedy paper legit?” and search for it around.
Playing 20 questions
Have you ever heard about this fascinating game? It is especially popular in some regions. You come up with a person (famous or known for everyone in the company), character, place, or an object, and each family member tries to guess what it is, asking you a “yes” or “no” question in turn. They keep up asking 20 questions until someone finds the right answer and tells what you have come up with.
“Would you rather?” game
This game will be suitable only for bold people who are not afraid to find themselves in an awkward situation. You can take a stack of small papers and write down tricky and nonstandard questions on each paper piece. Take into account who participates in the game, whether there are kids or just grownups, since questions created for adults only will differ from ones made up for kids. For instance, “Would you rather use papercoach to get A-grade paper or do everything yourself even if you have to spend a week on a small task?”
Flying a kite
If you plan to make a stop in some picturesque place on the way to your destination, you can use this chance to fly a kite if there is enough wind. It will be a great pastime in the fresh air and a company of dearest people. If you have never flown a kite, it is worth finding out how to do everything right beforehand, not to get frustrated on the site when something goes wrong.

Singing
If you are traveling by car, then it is a great opportunity to arrange your private karaoke right there. And it doesn’t matter how great singers you are if you do it together. It is all about having fun in the first place, so don’t deprive yourself of such a chance. Just find a song everyone likes, and try to do your best with an improvised karaoke.
