Our New Favorite Game


Our family, like many, has children that will drive us crazy in the car.  Jackson, almost 8, and Caleb, 11, will bicker with no end.  I picked up this handy Melissa and Doug USA license plate game and the fun has began.  Everyone is into it.  My husband usually wins for the boys. Oh yes, they usually pair off against the only two girls in the family.  There are four of them and only two of us.

This game is fun and fast paced.  It keeps the children occupied and learning at the same time.  They have memorized many of the states and their locations.  In order to hold the game board you must know where the states are because the teams call them out rather quick.  As soon as we start down the road you will hear, "North Carolina, Virginia!"  We all get excited when we see a plate from the west coast.  Alaska and Hawaii get major bragging rights.  This game is a staple for all of our road trips.
