Team driving<\/a> can definitely help you escape the loneliness while managing long over the road hauls while crossing state borders, but sometimes the talking gets old and you run out of stories to tell or things to say to one another. Why not spruce things up on the road and keep it entertaining? Make work time feel like play time and try some of these fun over the road games with your partner!<\/p>\n

Game 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n

We like to call this game the Soft Drink Challenge.<\/em> How it works is you buy a decent sized pack of your preferred soft drink (Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Fanta, etc.). Once purchased, you and your opponent must match each other can for can, until you can\u2019t drink another sip of fizzy goodness. After a little while the urge will come\u2026but fight it because the first one to cave for a bathroom break loses!<\/p>\n

Game 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n

This one is just for giggles, but let\u2019s introduce The Anal Game<\/em>. The basis of this game is to add the word \u201canal\u201d before the name of every RV you see on the road. For example, if a RV passes you with the brand \u201cSwinger\u201d on the side, you should \u201cAnal Swinger!\u201d and so forth (hehe, you\u2019re welcome).<\/p>\n

Game 3:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Alphabet Game<\/em> is a road trip classic. Hopefully, you\u2019ve played this game growing up, but for those of you who may not have here\u2019s how it works..You go up and down the alphabet finding words that start with A, B, C, etc. on signs along the road, bumper stickers, etc.<\/p>\n

Game 4:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Running out of unique stories to tell? The Speak in Song<\/em> game is at your rescue. For this game, both of you must carry on a conversation using only the titles or lyrics from songs. However, no singing is allowed.<\/p>\n

Game 5:<\/strong><\/p>\n

This game is pretty comical and useful when trying to get to know your driving partner. It\u2019s called Two Truths and a Lie<\/em>. Directions are pretty self-explanatory: each player makes three statements and the listener must decide which of the three is the life. Make the game a little interesting and choose three statements that are a little risqu\u00e9, not ones like, \u201cI am bored. I like cats. I have to pee.\u201d<\/p>\n

Game 6:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the same category as the alphabet game, I Spy<\/em> is a classic as well. Either you or your opponent will pick an item within sight and give clues by saying: \u201cI spy something\u2026\u201d You can state the objects color, give the first letter of the name of the object or offer any other types of clues.<\/p>\n

Game 7:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Throw your partner for a loop and turn up the heat with a game of Would You Rather<\/em>. This game consists of one simple question, \u201cwould you rather ______ or ______?\u201d Spice it up and offer both options to be equally dreadful or equally awesome. For optimal entertainment, grab some ideas from BuzzFeed\u2019s 15 Of The Hardest \u201cWould You Rather\u201d Questions You\u2019ll Ever Be Asked<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
