Games you can play in the car! Fun activities to liven up drives and traffic jams

Prefecture Guessing Game

Cars on city streets come from various places, and you can tell where they’re from by looking at their license plates.

Highways in particular gather vehicles from many different regions.

This is a game that uses the place names written on license plates.

The place indicated on a license plate may be the name of a prefecture or a locality within that prefecture.

The quizmaster specifies a license plate that shows a locality rather than a prefecture name, and players must answer which prefecture that locality belongs to.

The difficulty varies depending on the locality, so how many place names the quizmaster knows becomes a key factor.

Debate showdown

[INI FOLDER] EP.130 Debate Showdown 🗣 - Part 1

A debate showdown where you deliberately take different positions and argue a theme with logical persuasion.

There are also shows on the internet and TV where celebrities face off in debate matches, right? Memorable quotes from Hiroyuki during his debate showdowns also became a hot topic.

A debate showdown game, where you skillfully put what you think and feel into words, can help you develop your ability to communicate.

It’s also crucial to listen closely to what your opponent says and, when you’re on a team with opinions different from your own, to think objectively.

How about forming teams with a few friends and giving it a try?

Alphabet Game

It’s a game where you enjoy the scenery while riding in a car and try to find specific items along the way.

Split into two teams—people on the right side of the car and people on the left side—each team searches for letters of the alphabet on signs and road markers visible from their respective windows.

You find the letters in order, and the team that finds all 26 first wins.

In places you’re visiting for the first time, it can be a great way to discover what the landscape is like; in your familiar hometown, it can help you notice spots you didn’t know about.

It’s packed with appeal that goes beyond just being a game.

Sing-along game

[Sing-on-demand Game] A singing-pro guy instantly sings when an artist is named!! Final installment with a serious singing punishment at stake

A singing game that tests your reflexes and memory.

When someone says an artist’s name, the chosen person must immediately sing a phrase from one of that artist’s songs.

The basic rule is that if you’re slow to react, can’t sing, or end up singing a different song, you get a penalty.

Watching people rely on fuzzy memories is hilarious, and the fun vibe means slight pitch or lyric mistakes are totally fine.

It gets lively if you pick artists everyone knows, regardless of era or genre.

Whether you’re good at singing or not, that contrast is what makes the game entertaining.

Japanese Syllabary Order Game

Guaranteed to be a hit! A party game everyone can play at school!

Here’s a fun game called the “Gojuon Order Game,” which was also featured on the YouTube show ‘Takkun TV.’ It looks like even small children can enjoy it, so try playing it in the car on family outings.

The rules are simple: say three-letter words that start with each of the vowels a, i, u, e, o in order.

For example: aisukuriimu (ice cream), iruka (dolphin), usagi (rabbit), emoji, otoko (man)—each word starts with a, i, u, e, o.

You can decide the answering order in advance, or you can point to the next person to answer—either way is fine.

Once you get used to it, try making the words four letters long to mix things up!
