Child one picks a car (either the one in front or one that is passing) and looks at the last three letters of the number plate. Child Two, then has to make up a sentence to make the other child laugh.
for example: last letters might be SLF, so might say; Susan looks funny, or BFS might be big feet smell.
if it makes the other laugh, they score a point. Most points, say after 10 cars, wins.

"Nothing-to-do-with"
First person thinks of something - anything. Say, maybe, "hedge". The next person has to pick something completely unconnected, like "salmon". Then the game is to see if you can think of a connection, however silly. For instance,
"you could make a wooden knife out of a bit of hedge and cut up the salmon with it"
The driver is the judge of whether there is or is not a connection, and points can be scored if people like that kind of thing.
Also "I-spy", of course.My greatest success was:

On long journeys with our daughter (Scotland to East Sussex) she had a note book in which she counted the number of Eddie Stobart Trucks she saw, and Shearings Coaches - kept her amused for hours! She also loved story tapes - she still does (she'll be 24 next week!) though the stories she now listens to are miles away from Roald Dahl and Maisie the Morningside Cat
