That’s why I created this printable 50 states map for you to use as an electronics-free activity on your next long road trip. (crazy kids).īut if you’re planning a long, multi-state trip, playing the license plate game with the goal of finding all 50 states can be loads of fun. My kids even keep a running count in their heads of the number of Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and Mexico plates they’ve found over the years. It’s perfectly normal in our family for a regular conversation in the car to be interrupted by someone randomly shouting “North Carolina” or some other state name. My family usually just shouts out the out-of-state license plates they see anytime we’re in the car. The goal of the game is to identify as many state license plates as possible. My husband and my kids love to play it all around town, in parking lots, on short trips as well as long trips. Portable scavenger hunts are a great way to pass the time. Having a printable license plate game map like this one can be a lifesaver. You need some ready-to-go road trip games to play in the car during those long, boring car rides. When planning a long car trip you’re grateful for the electronic distractions but ultimately you’d love for the kids to not stare at their glowing boxes the whole time.
