I Spy With a Twist
This is a short and sweet Instructable
We play this game with our children on a long trip.
Before leaving we create a list of items for each child, these lists vary in there complexity depending on the age of the child.
The child marks off the list the items they ‘spot’ as you drive but the item must be verified by one of the adults in the car (this avoids arguments).
By looking out the window of the car the children tend not to get carsick plus it helps to past the time for all in the car as people form into teams to help each other out.
