Needless to say, I have been doing this for long enough that I'm having a hard time thinking of new objects for our group to be looking for. Any suggestions? Sample ideas a a blue tractor, a person wearing a shirt with a picture of a cat on it (with this group one has to be specific), the first mileage sign for Memphis, etc. If I get enough ideas, I may have two lists one for traveling to Idaho and one for coming back here. Thanks for all ideas, if wanted I'll publish our final list. Pam S. who did get a mention of a cat in this post It's not a "points" scavenger hunt game, but we always like to play the "Alphabet Game" when travelling long distance (and I still do, even when driving alone). It's very straight forward, perhaps you do it already. You have to find each letter in the alphabet, in order, winner being the one who finds the letter "Z" first. You can use signs, lettering on vehicles, license plates, license plate holders - anything's fair game. Just call out each letter as you see it. We had 2 rules: 1) the letter has to be actually be *seen*, not inferred - if you're looking for "V" and come across "Che rolet", you don't get the "V" because it's missing; 2) you can only look out the front and side windows - no looking backward because the driver can't (or shouldn't). Anyway, it was quickly done, could be repeated as wanted, and keeps you alert. Our other game was to keep a list of license plates we came across, although we didn't do it for points, just for interest. Jeanne Hedge, as directed by Natasha http://www.jhedge.com |
