Fun and Random Ways to Go
& Games to Play to Get there
I am not going to tell you
where to go, but instead
let’s have a little fun
discovering ways to get
there. They say that half
the fun is getting there. We can tip
the scale with the fun factor by trying
some of these random travel games.
Please make sure the driver is
paying attention to the road and
not too much attention to the game.
Safety is first.
1. The Five-Minute Rule. Have
someone, other than the driver, set
a timer on their phone and when the
timer goes off turn right at the next
intersection. Repeat the process,
but this time turn left. Continue this
pattern for 5 rounds. After that, the
next time the timer goes off, find the
first store and stop and shop there.
2. Flip a coin. At every third
intersection you come to, pull safely
off the road. Flip a coin. If it lands on
heads, go right. If it lands on tails, go
left. If the coin is dropped, go straight.
After five flips, flip it one more time.
By Jim Still-Pepper, Zanesville
If it lands on heads, then stop at
the first shop on the right. If
it lands on tails, then stop
at the first shop on the left.
3. Sing and Drive. Let the
driver pick his or her favourite song
to play. While the song is playing,
drive down the road and sing very
loudly. After the music stops, turn
right at the next intersection. Let the
next passenger pick their favourite
song. Continue driving til that song
is over and turn left. Continue this
pattern til everyone in the vehicle has
had a chance to sing their favourite
song. When everyone has played their
favourite song, stop at the next place
you come to and explore there.
4. Point and Shoot. Take out the map
found on pages 13 to 16. IMPORTANT:
DON’T POKE ANYONE’S EYES OUT!
Have someone hold up the map and
have another person throw a pen at
the map. Drive to wherever the mark
appears on the map. Once you are in
the area, find cool places to explore.
5. You Pick It. Have someone in
Over 12,000
people...
should ...You
too!
the vehicle pick a number between
2 and 52. Turn to that page in this
issue of Daytripping. Then count the
advertisements on that page. When
you get to the number that was picked,
drive to that location and enjoy the
adventure.
6. Ask A Stranger. If you are brave,
and nice, stop a passerby and ask
them where they would recommend
going in the area. Follow their
recommendation and go there. You
can repeat this game as often as you
like.
7. Favourite Colour. Have someone
in the vehicle name their favourite
colour. Start driving while people look
for that colour on a house, or road sign
or shop. When the colour is spotted,
turn right at the next intersection.
Repeat by having someone else name
their favourite colour. This time, when
that colour is found, turn left. Repeat
this pattern til everyone has named
their favourite colour. When you find
the last colour, safely pull off the road
and find a place in the area to explore.
Remember, getting there is half the
fun. Getting there with people you care
about is really the best part. So, enjoy
the ride. Enjoy the company. And
make sure the driver keeps everyone
safe.
