GAME RULES: All computations are to be done mentally. There is to be no writing on paper,

on their hands, on the car, etc. Participants may write invisibly in the air and/or

use their fingers and body parts. Talking is outlawed. Also, no calculators are

allowed.

THE PROCESS Read a list of computations slowly allowing everyone to make the calculations

in their head. When you are finished with all of the questions, ask if anyone

would like a problem repeated. Once you have finished a list of computations,

tell everyone to write down their answer. Have everyone read their answer out

loud to see who all got the right answer.

SAMPLE COMPUTATIONS 10 / 2 … + 10 … * 2 … – 20

Rudolf, the red-nosed reindeer

had a very shiny nose.

And if you ever saw him,

you would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer

used to laugh and call him names.

They never let poor Rudolf

play in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas eve

Santa came to say:

"Rudolf with your nose so bright,

won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then all the reindeer loved him

as they shouted out with glee:

"Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer,

you'll go down in history!"

Joy to the world! the Lord is come;

Let earth receive her King;

Let every heart prepare Him room,

Joy to the earth! the Savior reigns;

Let men their songs employ;

while fields and floods,

rocks, hills and plains

Repeat the sounding joy,

Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow,

nor thorns infest the ground;

He comes to make His blessing flow

far as the curse is found,

far as the curse is found,

far as, far as the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,

and makes the nations prove

the glories of His righteousness,

and wonders of His love,

and wonders of His love,

and wonders, wonders of His love.

And stay by my side until morning is

nigh.

Leaving their flocks, draw nigh to gaze;

We would embrace Thee, with love and awe;

Who would not love Thee, loving us so

dearly?

The First NoelThe First NoelThe First NoelThe First NoelThe First NoelThe First NoelThe First NoelThe First Noel The first Noel, the angel

did say, Was to certain poor

shepherds in fields as they lay;

In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,

On a cold winter's night that was so deep.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel.

They looked up and saw a star

Shining in the East, beyond them far;

And to the earth it gave great light,

And so it continued both

day and night. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,

Born is the King of Israel.

And by the light of that same star,

Three wise men came from country far;

To seek for a King was their intent,

And to follow the star wherever it went.


This star drew night to the northwest,

O'er Bethlehem it took its rest;

And there it did both stop and stay,

Right over the place where Jesus lay.


Then entered in those wise men three,

Full reverently upon their knee;

And offered there in his presence,

Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.

GAME RULES:

Each person in the car chooses a different page in their passport that has a

bingo card. During the road trip, as the players spot numbers on license plates

that are on the card (eg. License Plate: 315N WPR would complete a square: 31

or 15 on your card). When they find the number, they mark off that square on

the bingo card. The first person to get a full row completed (either horizontally,

vertically, or diagonally), they are the winner. If the scenic route is not providing

the amount of items quickly enough, a non-player may shout out different num-

bers to help the game move along.

Pick someone in the vehicle to start the game out. They silently pick

something that they see either in the vehicle or within the immediate

surroundings.

Once they have the object, they

say, “I spy something with my lit-

hint to everyone such as “…is

starts with the letter B.”

Everyone in the car takes turns

asking yes or no questions or

guessing the object.

The person to guess correctly gets

Odds & EvensOdds & EvensOdds & EvensOdds & EvensOdds & EvensOdds & EvensOdds & EvensOdds & Evens

One person is designated the “odds” player while the other is labeled

“evens”. Players hold one hand out in front of them and count together

to three (sometimes chanting “Once, twice, thrice, SHOOT!” or “One,

two, three, SHOOT!”). On three (or “shoot”), both players hold out

either one or two fingers. If the sum of fingers shown by both players is

an even number (i.e. two or four) then the “evens” player wins; other-

wise the “odds” player is the winner. Since there are two possible

ways to add up to three, both players have an equal chance of winning.

Use the scorecard below to keep track of the winner of each round.
