Road Trip Games to Play While On Your Next Adventure!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Illinois State chapter.

During the month of October, your weekends are filled with homecoming after homecoming. Your university, your sister’s university, and your best friend’s university.

 

Ahead of you are hour long road trips and Her Campus-Illinois State brings you the best road trip games that you can play during your trips to keep everyone in the car entertained and most importantly, awake!

 

Never Have I Ever

A traditional, yet crowd favorite. Never Have I Ever can take many different routes as to what someone has never done. Play this game and find out what your girlfriends have never done, or HAVE done.

Directions:

  1. Everyone starts with ten fingers up and the first person says a statement about something they have never done.
  2. With that statement, whoever HAS done whatever the statement includes, puts a finger down, if someone had never done the action, they keep their finger up. This continues with each person.
  3. The person with the most fingers up at the end wins!

While You Were Sleeping

This game is something new to try! When everyone in the car knocks out, you and the passenger/driver are fighting to stay awake, this is the time to create an OUTRAGEOUS story to tell the passengers when they wake up. The best part will be their reactions when they realize you were lying the entire time! Get CREATIVE!

The Singing Games

Love having a karaoke session with your girls but limited to what songs you can play? Make them up and have a jam session.

  1. The first person will start singing a song and then the next person will tag along with the next words of another song.
  2. Whoever begins to stumble over their words, loses the game

Battle of The Bands

            Do YOU know the ultimate song for the theme? Play this game to find out!

  1. Someone picks a theme like 80s pop or 70s Rock and Roll.
  2. Then two people will be timed to pick the ultimate song to match the theme and whoever gives a song first, wins the match!

Would You Rather

A traditional road trip game but this time, get creative!!!

  1. Ask someone in the car if they would rather have this, or have that. They can only pick one option.
  2. The person who runs out of would you rather statements first, loses!

Story Time 

Classic game of “what is their story?” What can you and your girls come up with?

  1. Everybody in the car will pick a car and then everyone in those cars will get a story made up by you!
  2. Whoever has the most interesting story, wins!
