ABOUT FAMILY CAR GAMES:
How-to-play instructions for 100 creative, fun & challenging no-equipment-
needed family games. These games can be played *anywhere* families
go–restaurants, doctors' waiting rooms, at dinner. You don't need “stuff” to
have fun, just 2 or more people & Family Car Games. This app gives simple
instructions for the games, & you can sort by age, type of game, etc...then
you put away the iPhone (nobody fights over it or gets carsick staring at it)
and play! Even the driver can play most games! Our teens still play these
games & there are games for 5+under too. Our faves: Grandma is So Weird, Inky
Pinky, Love is Like a Shovel (& the radio games!)
