Car Games for the Kids

Car trips with children can be dreadful. My parents left early in the morning on purpose to that my brother and I slept most of the trip. I’ll admit, we do the same with our boys, not ashamed. But a cheap and mostly free way to keep the kiddies happy is road games. I know, most of us just put a movie on and pray you didn’t forget the charger. But there are times that not even the kids want to watch something, they would rather do something interactive instead. Mimitime came up with a list of games to keep you and the kids entertained, and you just might learn something new about each other.

Car Games

I Spy is a classic that’s easy for preschoolers to understand, and it WILL keep them entertained for a long time. The directions are simple: One person spies something and recites the line, ending in a clue. Everyone else takes turns trying to guess the mystery item.

Road Trip Bingo is another fun classic. You might need to spend a little more time and money putting this game together, or you can just buy it at a gas station. When a player spies an item on his card, he covers the picture with a penny. Just like in regular bingo, the first player to cover all the squares in a straight line wins.

The License Plate Game and  Spot the Car are two similar games. With the License Plate game, you spend the time looking for license plates from all fifty states and writing it down. There’s an easy updated printable where kids cross off the US states and Canadian provinces as they spy them. Spot the Car is the same; instead, you’re looking for different car models.

Tic Tac Toe and Connect the Dots is another easy game that can be played by the young ones, and it can cost nothing! Hangman is a good one for the older kids to play. You can find booklets that contain tons of fun activities at almost any store and they are almost always fairly inexpensive. Don't discount the games just because they aren't on an iPad.

It seems like my husband, and I play 20 Questions every day when it comes to our kids. But it’s an actual game that can be played on road trips (on purpose). Player One thinks of a person, place, or thing. Everyone else takes turns asking questions that can be answered with a simple yes or no. After each answer, the questioner gets one guess. Play continues until a player guesses correctly. I’ve never heard of or played The Preacher’s Cat before, but it sounds fun and maybe a pleasant learning experience. It’s an alphabet-based memory game for school-age kids.

Keeping Your Car Clean

Keeping Your Car Clean Owning a car comes with a lot of responsibility. And managing your car can become expensive, you need to register it, buy insurance, and maintain it. Another one of those responsibilities is keeping your vehicle clean, inside and out. With so many products and car care advice out there, it can be hard to pick what is right for your vehicle. Below are a few myths and facts that you may have wondered about, such as types of car soap, supplies, and other topics. This or That There might have come a time that you were out of car soap or heard from someone that dish detergent will clean your car. Well, it would CLEAN your vehicle, but dish detergent will actually speed up oxidation on the paint, and it will lead to a degradation of the paint job. A shiny car isn’t necessarily a clean car. To honestly know if your vehicle is clean, you should feel the paint to see if it feels glossy and not coarse. If it feels more like sandpaper, then the car isn’t clean, a...

Classic Cars You Have Seen in Movies

Classic Cars You Have Seen in Movies You have seen then in many movies, The Fast and Furious chain, Mad Max, or James Bond, and we all love them and want one. Popular Mechanics put together a list of cars that have been seen in classic movies, some you have seen and some you need to go out and rent, trust me. Check Them Out 1964 Aston Martin DB5, Goldfinger- James Bond's legacy of famous cars and far-out gadgets can be traced back from one car—the 1964 Aston Martin DB5 007 driven in Goldfinger and Thunderball. Even without the spy modifications, (included ram bumper, machine guns, ejector seat, smoke screen, or oil-slick sprayer), it is still a work of art. 1977 Pontiac Trans Am, Smokey and the Bandit- Director Hal Needham couldn't have predicted the impact that car would have on America. After audiences saw that Trans Am slide around corners, leap over broken bridges and evade Sheriff Buford T. Justice, they wanted to be behind the wheel of a black and gold T/A...
