Road Trip Games for Kids
Packing the family into the car for a trip across the Lone Star State is an Austin tradition. Whether you are heading down to the coast or venturing into the Hill Country, the “Are we there yet?” chorus usually starts before you even hit the MoPac. At Third Coast Auto Group, we want your journey to be as enjoyable as the destination. That is why we’ve rounded up our favorite Road Trip Games for Kids that require zero batteries and maximum imagination.

Classics That Never Get Old
You don’t need a tablet to keep the backseat busy. These time-tested Road Trip Games for Kids are perfect for passing the miles between Austin and your next stop:
- The License Plate Game: Texas is a crossroads, so keep your eyes peeled for out-of-state plates. Try to see who can spot the most states before you reach your destination.
- I Spy: A classic for a reason! It’s a great way to get younger kids to engage with the scenery outside their window.
- 20 Questions: One person thinks of a person, place, or thing, and the rest of the car has 20 “yes or no” questions to figure it out. It’s a fantastic way to spark some critical thinking.

Creative Storytelling
If the views of the highway are getting a bit repetitive, try “Story Starter.” One person starts a tale with a single sentence, and each passenger adds the next line. By the time you reach the next gas station, you’ll have a hilarious (and likely nonsensical) family epic.
At Third Coast Auto Group, we believe the best memories are made on the road. If you need a reliable SUV or a spacious minivan for your next family adventure, come see us at our I-35 or North Lamar locations in Austin. We specialize in helping families get into the right vehicle with easy, in-house financing.
