Who's Next?

Directions:

Pick a door—any door. Right outside your car window, you and your kids will find more doors than you'll ever need to play this quick and easy time passer.

Each player—you and your child, or a group of kids—takes a turn guessing whether a man, woman, boy, or girl will be next to step out of the chosen door.

A variation of this game calls for each player to guess the color of an article of clothing that the next person through the door will wear.

Older kids can also keep score in another variation of this game by giving each color a different value, then taking turns looking at the door. Blue might be worth one point and red worth two, for example.

Finally, each player can guess what kind of clothes the next person out the door will be wearing. This can get pretty wild if someone guesses that "the next person will wear a pink dress," and then a man in a blue suit steps out!
