• Crafts And Activities

License Listing

• Make a list of state license plates spotted while on a tri.
• See if anyone can name the capitals of the states you see.

Signs

• Set usome  BINGO boards.
• Have players take turns looking for specific signs such as railroad crossing, no parking, vacancy, ice cream, reduce speed, church, etc. to fill their boards.

License Language

• All players look for a license plate containing three letters.
• When one is spotted, the player whose turn it is has 60 seconds to make a sentence using three words that begin with those three letters.
• Each word has to be in proper order.
• You can have more than three words, but all sentences must make sense.
• For example BCR-693: Although some have said it. I don’t believe that Babies Can Run.
