We played most of the games you mentioned. When the kids were little, we always took puppets and books wherever we went. Puppet shows over the back of the front seat can keep little ones occupied for a long time and give mom a stiff neck. Battleship, hangman, charades, looking for license plates, I Spy, counting how many of a certain item we see (cows, a certain car, etc.), and round robin stories (or mom just made them up by herself) all filled our time. People with their kids plugged into their DVD's are missing so much. We always had lots of board games and cards. We played most of the games you mentioned.

Games have always been fun for me while growing up and for my children. One they often played in the car was Windmills. Each side of the cart was a team and counted the windmills spotted on their side of the car and only on their side. When they spotted a cemetary on the other side of the car you'd say 'Bury all your windmills.' and the other team would have to start over. Hard to watch both sides of the road. But they enjoyed it. For indor games we loved word games and board games of all kinds. Winnie, Loved the blog. Games have always been fun for me while growing up and for my children.
