Travel Games

Travel Games (used for that long drive to scout camp) The trick is to keep their focus outside the car.


Navigator SV
While driving to scout camp, give each scout a copy of the roadmap that shows where camp is. Tell them you won’t turn until they say to.

X Marks the Spot SV
Each scout has a map of your journey (hiking or in a vehicle) at random times they must come to a consensus as to your exact location. Of course this means they must be paying attention. :]

I Spy CSV
Classic game. “It” says “I spy with my little eye something that begins with a (pick a letter. Players get 5 or 10 guesses. Guesser gets to pick next item. (Hint nobody ever guesses insulators on power poles).

Alphabet letters CSV
Be the first to find all the letters in the alphabet on signs etc. I once followed a Jeep for miles knowing I would need a J.

Alphabet items CSVOA
Find items that start with all the letters of the alphabet in order. Hint: a gravel pit is a quarry. A rock made up of other rocks (concrete) is a xenolith.

Travel Bingo CSVOA
Create a bingo game with items like a graveyard, round bale of hay, Volkswagen, cop car etc. Feel the pain SVo Every time you pass under a power line spread your hand on the window and announce that you can “feel the pane”. Get the scouts to see if they can also “feel the pain”

Find the 7 CSV
You need a bag of skittles. Every time someone sees the digit 7 they get a skittle.
