Well, I hope everyone had a terrific Thanksgiving! The interesting thing about this post is that no one is on campus right now! Everyone is home enjoyin their Thanksgiving feast.
Since everyone is off campus how about some ideas on how to pass time while traveling!
1. Whether you are on a plane, in a car or a bus you can sleep while traveling
2. Listening to music is always a great way to pass time
3. Playing Ispy is always fun no matter what your age!
4. My family likes to play,
The ABC game
On a long drive and desperate to keep the kids occupied for a few minutes? Hunt the highway for all of the letters of the alphabet. This game might just keep you from losing your wits on that trip to the in-laws—and no doubt, you'll need them when you get there!
What you need:
A view of a highway, street or town:
Ideally from a moving car.
Your shouting voice:
The kids will be thrilled to have the chance to yell
in the car without getting yelled at
Knowledge of the alphabet:
No, "LMNOP" is not one letter!
The object of the game is to see who can get to "Z" first.
To play, scan street signs, license plates, storefronts, billboards and bumper stickers for all of the letters of the alphabet.
Each player starts by finding an "A" and ends with ... you got it, a "Z."
Once each player finds his "A," he moves on to "B." Once he spots a "B," he hunts for a "C," etc. The first one to Z wins!
Now try the game backwards. Sound as simple as ABC? It's not!
5.
The Disney game
This is a game my family created while at Disney world. We would get bored riding the bus from our hotel into the park so we came up with this game to pass the time.
There really is no winner or loser in this game. It is just a fun way to test eachother's knowledge of Disney movies.So here are some of the types of questions we would ask eachother:
1. What was the monkey from the lion king's name?
A: Rafiki
2. What is the name of the fox form The Fox and the Hound?
A: Todd
3. Who is Brier Rose?
A:Sleeping Beauty's fake name
Change it up as you continue to play. Make one question really easy and some really hard. It's an easy game that takes up time.
Well I hope these time consumers help you on your way home from grandparent's houses or on your way back to campus!
