Holiday Road Trip Fun: Car Games for the Whole Family 🚗


The holiday season is here, and for many of us, that means hitting the road to visit family, friends, or favorite holiday destinations. Long drives can be tough, especially with kids in the backseat asking the dreaded question: “Are we there yet?” But don’t worry—Rock’s Tire & Auto has you covered!


To make your journey as enjoyable as your destination, we’ve rounded up some fun, family-friendly car games to keep everyone entertained.


1. I Spy 👀

A classic game for all ages! One person picks an object they see and says, “I spy with my little eye, something [color/shape/etc.].” Everyone else takes turns guessing what it is. Bonus points if the object is festive, like holiday lights or decorations!

2. 20 Questions ❓

Pick a person, place, or thing, and the rest of the car has 20 yes-or-no questions to figure it out. Tip: Choose holiday-themed items like Santa, a snowman, or a Christmas tree for extra fun.

3. License Plate Hunt 🛻

See how many different state license plates you can spot along the way. Keep a list, and the first person to find 10 (or 20!) states wins. Extra points for spotting plates with festive vanity tags!

4. Holiday Song Lyrics Challenge 🎵

Start singing or reciting a line from a holiday song and see if others can guess the title or finish the next line. This game is sure to bring on some laughs and maybe even a car sing-along!

5. The Alphabet Game 🔤

Find words on road signs or billboards that begin with each letter of the alphabet, starting with A and ending with Z. For a holiday twist, focus on festive words like “Angel,” “Bells,” or “Cookies.”

6. Would You Rather: Holiday Edition 🎁

Pose silly holiday-themed questions, like “Would you rather build a snowman or go sledding?” or “Would you rather eat candy canes or gingerbread cookies for the rest of the year?”

7. Road Trip Bingo 🗺️

Print or draw bingo cards with items to spot on the road—things like reindeer decorations, holiday lights, a wreath on a car, or even a snowman. The first to get bingo wins a holiday treat!

8. Rock’s Riddles 🤔

Throw in some fun riddles about cars, road trips, or holidays! Here’s one to get you started: What kind of car does an elf drive? (Answer: A “toy”-ota!)

Holiday road trips are an opportunity to make memories, bond as a family, and even learn a little something along the way. At Rock’s Tire & Auto, we’re here to help make your journey as smooth as possible.

9. Name That Tune: Holiday Edition 🎶

One person hums or whistles a holiday song while others try to guess it. Up the stakes by awarding points for the fastest guesser or bonus points for singing the next line!

10. Holiday Trivia 📚

Test your family’s knowledge of holiday facts! Prepare questions like:

  • What are the names of Santa’s reindeer?

  • In which country did the Christmas tree tradition begin?

  • Customize it for younger kids or include questions about family traditions for a personal touch.

11. The Gift Exchange Game 🎁

Take turns describing your "dream" holiday gift using three clues. The others guess what it is! Add a silly twist by coming up with the most outrageous or funny gifts imaginable.

12. Roadside Storytelling 📖

Collaborate to create a holiday-themed story. One person starts with a sentence like, “Once upon a time, Santa’s sleigh broke down on the interstate...” Then, each person adds a line to keep the story going.

13. Spot the Decorations 🎄

Turn your drive into a festive scavenger hunt. Look for houses with twinkling lights, inflatable snowmen, wreaths on cars, or even Santa waving from a porch. Keep score and declare the most observant passenger the winner!

14. Word Association: Holiday Style 🌟

Start with a holiday-related word (e.g., snow), and the next person says the first word that comes to mind (e.g., cold). Keep going without repeating words or hesitating too long!

15. Holiday Movie Quotes 🎥

Test your family’s knowledge of classic holiday movies by quoting lines like, “You’ll shoot your eye out!” or “Every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings.”



🚗 Before you hit the road, don’t forget to stop by for a pre-trip vehicle check! We’ll inspect your tires, fluids, battery, and more to ensure your car is ready to handle the holiday hustle.

Wishing you safe travels and happy holidays from all of us at Rock’s Tire & Auto! 🎄🔧
