word games to play whilst travelling

[dopeycustard]

Does anyone know of any games to play whilst travelling that do not involve pens, paper, cards etc. The one we play a lot is one person thinks of a country, say HollanD and then the next person has to think of a country beginning with D and so on. We have done it with christian names and also food but it does get boring on a long haul flight! So any ideas would be great or a web site that list such games

Suppose a lot depends on the ages . How about Charades , or do you think you will be a bit short of space to play that .

We went to Woburn Safari Park last week with my niece and her two young children and for most of the hour's journey we used the alphabet to go through different topics - boys' names, girls' names, countries, cities and so on. You can use a child's particular interest - we had to do football teams for my great nephew. The journey went very quickly and no-one fidgeted, fought or got bored.

Well, one of you could always start to tell a story and take it a kind of cliff hanger situation and then stop; the story is then taken up by the next narrator who continues, send the tale into any direction they like until such time that they too leave the story in a nail biting climax for someone else to continue.

we play snooker cars, you start by seeing a red car, then a coloured car, & so on,we only do 3 reds then the colours in order, your break stops when 3 silver cars have passed by, getting a pink & brown are hard though.
