License Plate Alphabet Race Game (The stuff on this webpage is mentioned on page 14 of my book)

Illustration of a school bus filled with kidsLots of times, on bus rides or long car trips, kids play smartphone or computer games.  But those games are almost always solitary pastimes. What if you want to do something with friends? Here’s a cool travel game my dad taught me.

  • You can have any number of players, even grown-ups. The winner is the first to get from A to Z, using only the letters you spot on license plates.
  • You have to go in alphabetical order. (No skipping around.)
  • License plates must be moving. Illustration of a motorcycle(If a car is parked or stopped, no can use!)
  • Any license plate counts. (I once beat Georgie with a Z on a motorcycle!)
  • The letters must be part of the license plate number, not any other words on the plate. (You cannot use the X on the word Texas on a Texas plate, for example.)
  • Connecticut license plate: 872NEDIf two or three successive letters are on the same license plate, you can use all of them. (For example: if you need a D, and the next plate you see is 872NED, you get both the D and the E, and you get to jump to F.)
  • Pennsylvania license plate GHG5269If the letter you are searching for occurs twice on the same license plate, you get that letter plus a wild card which you can use (just once!) to skip over any letter you choose whenever you wish. (For example: if you need a G, and the next plate you see is GHG5269, you get your G and a wild card.)
  • Quebec license plate 777AAAIf the letter you are searching for occurs three times on the same license plate, game over! You win! (This has never happened to me or Georgie.)
  • License plates may be used only once and only by one player. First to see it, gets it. (If a license plate that’s been used reappears, and it has a letter you need, too bad.)
  • No cheating! You are on your honor. (C’mon! It’s just a game. Play fair!)
  • These are the Cheesie rules. If you want to change them, go ahead. (But all the players should agree, right?)

  2. I’m gone to inform mmy little brother, that he should also goo to see this blog on regular bass too obtain updated from most recent nes update.

    Feell free to visit my page … Information about China and Hong Kong on Wiki (Clarence)

  3. i like ur game i am going to try it with my friends. i also have a game, u have to find different animals and each animal is worth a point u can make up how many points each animal is worth.

    1. My family went on a car trip last week, and we played this game. My Mom, who does not often play games, won. Granpa came in last, and he complained it wasn’t fair because he has old eyes. Goon refused to play.

    1. Thanks! I play it all the time in the car. It helps pass the time on long trips.

  4. I think that game sounds really fun! Thank you for putting it on there so I can play with my family!

  5. i know a game you have to start from A and say things you see no cheating and the next person haves to say something they see that start with the end letter of your thing

  6. what about when im alone and my mom or dad is driving and they are the only other people in there?

  7. i like to play a game where you have to say any state and the other player has to think of another state that starts with the last letter of the first state. like alabama then arkansas or texas and south carolina

    1. Never start by saying Connecticut. You will lose immediately because the only response is Tennessee…and then you’re dead.

    2. You are correct. What I meant to say is IF you start with Connecticut, then the other player SHOULD say Tennessee…and then you lose.

  8. I play a game called the animal gama what u do is u think of an animal and u say the beginning letter and then other people start guessing animals that start with that letter whoever guesses the right animal gets to think of an animal next

  9. I have a game called “honk”. Whenever you pass a car parked or moving you say honk.(this is mostly for bus trips cause its really annoying).

  10. A game i like 2 play(sometimes anyway) is where u try to find all 50 state’s licence plates. My sister and her boyfriend r really good at it!

  11. This game is so fun! My sister and I played on our way to LA. Sadly I did not win but it was still fun. I play a license plate game with my sister where you try to spot any state besides your own state in the car and when you do find one you punch each other lightly on the arm.

  12. i like the part when you shot the shoot the pudding filled balloon at your sister i am going to do that to my sister

    1. Because the rules say: “If the letter you are searching for occurs three times on the same license plate, game over! You win!” So if you saw this license plate when you needed an A, you would win!

    1. Why would there be a lack of Z’s? There are Z’s as part of licenses plates in every state.

  13. My family always plays a game called pedidal.pu-did-ul.If you see a car with one headlight out you shout “pedidal!!”

  14. every time my family go’s on road trips we play the license plate game but usally we lose the score and my brothers and I start fighting and then we have to play the quiet game! i dont like that game…

    1. Ha ha ha ! That’s so funny! I ALWAYS win the quiet game. It pays to be the older sibling. 🙂

  15. First, my website isn’t ready yet. So don’t go there and say “jay is a weirdo for lying to me!” . Maybe you can combine it with the state game (I like this one better though!)
