101 Great Car Games & Activities
Make car trips more fun (and educational too) with "Miles of Smiles" by Carole Terwilliger Meyers. This book is packed with 101 games and activities to help pass the time on car trips. Most of the games require only your mouth and mind to play, while a few need props like a penny, pencil and some crayons. The games work well with unit studies and are great mind exercises anytime you find yourself with idle time on your hands.

Games can be selected by subject, by title, or simply by choosing a number between 1 and 101 - age recommendations also included.

Game categories are: Counting, License Plates, Language, Guessing, Memory Challenges, Stories and Poems, Math, Geography Challengers, Physical Movement, Knowledge Challengers, Humor and more.
