Secret Writing

If you have more than one kid in the car, have one child close their eyes and put out their hand.  The other child uses their finger to trace a letter on the palm of the out-turned hand.  Try to guess the letter, then trade places.  If the kids are good at guessing, they can try spelling out whole words. 

Two kids can also enjoy playing classic paper games like Hangman, Tic Tac Toe, and the paper version of Battleship.  Card games like Crazy Eights, Old Maid, and Gin Rummy are also great ways to pass the time.  And don’t forget to sing songs.  Nothing passes the time like a sign-along!
