Classic road trip games like “I Spy”, “20 Questions”, and the License Plate Game never get old. They're easy to play, require no equipment, and keep everyone engaged. “I Spy” helps kids observe surroundings, while “20 Questions” is great for deductive fun. The License Plate Game turns spotting cars from different states into a cross-country challenge—perfect for long hours on the road.
 
For screen-free mental stimulation, go with games like “Geography Chain” (where you name cities/countries that start with the last letter of the previous one), “I’m Going on a Picnic”, or “Story Builder”. These challenge memory, creativity, and vocabulary. “Story Builder” is especially fun—each person adds a sentence to a growing tale. Great for all ages and helps pass time without needing anything but imagination.
