1. Travel

The License Plate Game:

alphabet version -continued from Travel Games to print out and play in the car.

Watch other cars on the highway and try to find license plates that start with each letter in the alphabet.

Play competitively (the person with the most entries wins) or collectively (everyone works together to spot the license plates). Setting a time limit works best for some kids.

Version 2 of The License Plate Game lists all the contiguous states, and your goal is to find every one. Click here to see all US license plates online.
