Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Finally the packing is done, the house is locked up and you are on the interstate. Uh oh, ten minutes in, the kids are already asking "are we there yet?" You remember a game you played in the car years ago. It had something to do with looking at road signs and license plates, finding letters of the alphabet. Quick, the kids are getting out of control. What was the name of that darn game?
2. Finally, you have escaped from the city traffic gridlock and have made it to the rural farmlands. The natives in the back seat are getting restless and need more entertainment. These farms trigger a long lost memory of a travel game involving one type of farm animal. What the heck was the name of that game? Think hard. Did you have to dig deep to remember its name?
3. Oh no, the kids want to sing! You are trapped and can't escape. They start singing a seemingly endless song about beer! All you can think of is that you are going to need a lot of beer when you get to Grandma's. How many bottles of beer are there in this catchy song?
4. Finally, a break. Time for lunch and a stretch of the legs. All too soon, it is time to load the spouse and kids back into the car. Oops, shouldn't have got them that caffeinated soda. A simple game is needed to calm them down and you throw a pencil and pad into the back seat, telling them to play which game of x's and o's?
5. After what feels like a week, you are finally halfway through your trip. But you can't catch a break! Now the wife is getting antsy and wants to play a game too. You see a very cool Snowy Egret perched on a fence post and decide to kick off a new game by saying a line that ends with "with my little eye." What game have you just started that has everyone in the car looking out the windows?
6. Just when you thought everything was under control and it would be a smooth trip the rest of the way, you notice the kids in the rear view mirror taking turns punching each other in the arm! Turning around to yell at them to stop, they tell you they are just playing a pretty famous travel game. You get in the spirit, spot the object that requires a punch, and lay one on your spouse's arm. She/he is NOT amused! What is the name of this game?
7. It's getting into late afternoon. After a quick stop at a roadside ice cream shop, everyone is finally happy. However, there are still a few hours to go and you must come up with another game to keep those little minds busy! It's a game named after a television character from the 1950s. Oh well, even if the kids don't remember who this is, the game is easy to play. Can you remember this name game?
8. Unfortunately, the name game has run its course and the road crew is getting restless again. Before the "are we there yet?" questions start rattling your brain again, you decide to try the pencil and paper trick again. You wishfully hope it will satisfy the travel grumbles. Which "deadly" game has been popular for a long time on road trips?
9. It's starting to get dark and it is still a couple of hours to get to Grandma's house. The paper and pencil games are done and you need to come up with something quick to keep those pent up passengers from climbing all over your back about how long this trip is. Aha! You remember a classic game that is also known as "Animal, Vegetable, Mineral." The kids cheer! What is the other name this game has?
10. Just when you have survived this trip in one piece, there is dissension in the ranks! Everyone is anxiously awaiting arriving at Grandma's and have lost interest in the other games. You only need to come up with one more to last a few minutes to stop brother from pulling sister's pony tail and her poking him with that pencil you forgot to take earlier. Ah, you tell them to spend the last five miles of the trip playing which game using just their hands, trying to pin the other person?
