JUNE Challenge of the Month: Are We There Yet?

READ: 10/9

✔️2. Would you Rather. . . ? You can learn a lot about your car mates with this car game. Since you didn't bring a deck of cards for you, you will have to come up with your own questions. Here's one: Would you rather dress for one year as . . . Spock from Star Trek (including the ears) OR like The Cat in the Hat (including the whiskers and tail)?
🚘 Read a book with stripes on the cover.
Silk and Spurs - Cheyenne McCray 6/24


✔️3. Twenty Questions. You have 20 questions to figure out what the person is thinking. With no electronic version of this, you'll need to use that noggin. Start broad and get more specific as you go – Is it an animal, vegetable or mineral?
🚘 Read a book in which 20 is intact in the total number of pages
Pale Horses - Jassy Mackenzie (320 pages) 6/15


✔️4. Fortunately/Unfortunately. This one is pretty simple and fun. It’s a progressive story with a catch – each person adds a sentence to the story, but must start that sentence with fortunately or unfortunately, alternating as you go. So Jim went to the store for a drink. Unfortunately it was closed. Fortunately he found a soda machine. Unfortunately it didn’t take dollar bills. You get the idea.
🚘 Read a book where a character tells tales (your interpretation)
Burn Bright - Patricia Briggs 6/26
(hero repeats Native American tales his grandfather told him)


✔️5. Cows on my Side. This one is my father’s favorite game. It also sharpens your math skills. Count the cows on your side of the road. Pass a cemetery, lose all your cows and start over.
🚘 Read a book with a number in the title. It must be a specific number, using the actual number or spelling it out; cardinal only, not ordinal (first, second, etc)
Thirty-Four and a Half Predicaments - Denise Grover Swank 6/11


✔️6. Slug Bug. This road trip game is all about spotting Volkswagen Bugs and being the first to shout it out. Our shout had to include the color and came with a punch. Proceed with caution as this one could get a bit violent.
🚘 Read a book that includes a violent act in the story line
The Darkest Promise - Gena Showalter 6/25


✔️8. Telephone. Tell the person next to you a secret, and have them pass it on. When it gets to the driver, have him say it out loud. You’ll laugh at how the message has changed.
🚘 Read a book where there is a breakdown in communication among characters in the story line
Royal Assassin - Robin Hobb 6/16


✔️9. Rock, paper, scissors. It’s an oldie but a goodie, and most kids can be entertained playing this for many hours. Pound your fist three times than come up with a fist for rock, index and middle finger for scissors and a flat hand for paper. Rock crushes scissors. Scissors cut paper. Paper covers rock.
🚘 Pick your weapon (ROCK, PAPER, or SCISSORS) and read a book where all the author's first and last name initials can be found in that weapon of choice. OR
The Drowning Girl - Caitlín R. Kiernan (ROCK) 6/9


✔️10. Restaurant Race Each player chooses a restaurant, such as Burger King, Subway, IHOP, etc. Players earn points by spotting their restaurant off the road, on a billboard, on exit markers, on Food/Fuel signs, or by hearing it mentioned on the radio.
🚘 Read a book where the characters order food from any type of restaurant at some point in story OR
Back to the Bedroom - Janet Evanovich (pizza) 6/24


✔️11. The Theme Song Game One person hums the tune to a favorite TV show, and everyone else tries to name the show as fast as possible. The first person to guess correctly hums the next song.
🚘 Read a book that has been made into a movie or a television show or visa versa (i.e. the television show came first such as Dr Who books, Murder She Wrote books, etc).
The Light Between Oceans - M.L. Stedman 6/30


✔️12. I-Spy. Its a classic. Sharpen kids power of perception with this game. Find something and have them guess what it is you found. Give the kids clues until they figure it out. Now, I spy with my little eye something on Mr. Monopoly's Bookshelves.
🚘 Read a book where one character spies on another.
Balanced on the Blade's Edge - Lindsay Buroker 6/24
