Snork!
Directions:
Here's a great car game that can easily be adjusted to the ages and skills of your children. The point of the game is to have everyone try to guess the identity of an object while one person supplies clues.
To play, one person picks an object that you pass frequently, such as a signpost, a green car, a gas station. Then, each time the car passes a matching object, he or she calls out "snork" (or some other nonsense word). Everyone else tries to figure out what the item is by looking around when they hear the word "snork" and taking a guess.
To increase the challenge, you can make the object very specific. For example, instead of a green car, the person may pick a green car with four people in it that's traveling in the opposite direction. Then, when someone makes a partially correct guess, the chooser can let the guesser know that the answer is close, but not close enough.
The game can also be varied by picking items that come up more or less frequently. But, be careful. If someone picks fence posts, it may all come down to "Snork, snork, snork, snork, snork . . ."
