If part of your holiday tradition includes taking a longer road trip to a relative’s house – or doing that but multiple times instead of just once – you might be in sore need of entertainment for your passengers. That’s where car games come in! You can’t really play normal games in the car because cards are messy and other games have lots of little pieces that’ll get jolted around. Plus, you know, the driver needs to be able to pay attention to the road. Check out our five favorite games to play on the road below!

1. Alphabet Game: Try and find each letter of the alphabet in order without using license plates. No, you can’t save that “Q” for later!

2. 50 States Game: Try and find a license plate from each of the 50 states. This is hard if you’re not on a long trip, so keep your eyes peeled!

3. I Spy: The classic! The person who’s the spy picks out an object and everyone else has to guess what it is based on a simple descriptor (“I spy something red”). This is great for smaller children.

4. My Cows: If you see cows in a field, yell out “MY COWS.” They are now yours. If you see a graveyard, you can yell “BURY YOUR COWS” while pointing at someone else who has cows, and now their cows are dead. If you see a place of worship and you have cows in your possession, yell “MARRY MY COWS” and now you have double cows. Do not count your cows. This is very fun for everyone.

5. What’s That Car: For the automobile enthusiasts, this game is great! Spot a car ahead of you on the road and try to guess correctly what type of car it is from as far away as possible.
