Summary

Put this collection of 100 games right into the car's glove compartment (it's designed to fit) and don't even think of leaving on a trip without it. This essential book for traveling with kids is a sure-fire entertainer that makes the journey fly by pleasantly. Plus, it's lots cheaper and so much more mind-stretching than in-car video gamesand it encourages family bonding, too. Taking a pleasant drive in the country? Try Cow Football and score field goals, touchdowns, and safeties when you pass fields of livestock. In town, challenge the children to Mailbox Ping Pong. Play License Plate Scramble while cruising down the highway. And don't let the title fool you: the games work on a bus, rail, boat, or plane.
