My kids are grown now, but when they were little they loved video arcades. Whenever we went on a trip, they each got a Pringle's can with quarters----usually about $5 in each can. If they argued, tattled, or were generally onery, they had to give up a quarter. The deal was that they could have what ever was left for the video arcade.
We traveled about 3 hours to get to our dentist, so we also played the ABC game. We varied it by naming fruits, boy names, girl names, etc. And last but not least, we played a story telling game. Using a certain sound as much as possible, one of us would start a story. After a certain time, usually at an exciting point the story teller would stop and call out the name of one of the other passengers, who then had to continue on with the story. The stories were always new and got quite inventive. There was one I remember about Horrible Harry Hippo who hated hazelnuts.
