Playing on the South Dakota highways
I dedicated one of my many South Dakota family vacations to games to play in the car. South Dakota is a large state with quite a distance between attractions thus there was a considerable amount of time spent behind the windshield. This can be one of the worst times of the whole trip especially with young children that get bored easily. The first game I happened upon was automobile bingo. Everyone gets a bingo card that has pictures in the squares rather than numbers. Once you spot one of the pictured items you call it out and everyone that has that picture can cover it’s square. The pictures are of common thing seen on the highway, things like speed limit sign or a bus or a semi truck. That was entertaining for about three games at a time or for about an hour. Next we went with the old standby “I spy with my eye”. It turned out that we had to pick an object that was quite a way off as if you chose something directly in front of the car the object was out of sight before anyone could guess what it was. Those games really did help keep the arguments down to a minimum though.
