Nose, Nose, Mouth

One person is the leader. He (or she) chants “nose, nose” and then names any other body part. When saying “nose, nose” the leader touches his nose twice, but as he says the third body part he touches any other part besides the one he is saying. The players need to follow his movements and not listen to his words. If someone messes up they are eliminated. The last person is the winner and gets to be the next leader.

Car Performers

Someone thinks of a situation and assigns a part to each person in the car. For instance, you describe the situation as a group of people on a boat cruise that becomes shipwrecked on a deserted island. Then you have one person play the boat captain, two people play a couple on a honeymoon, and another is a Saudi Arabian prince. Then improvise whatever comes to mind.

Pass Around

Work as a group to come up with some silly actions, like “meow the Star Spangled Banner,” or “mime like you’re kissing your favorite movie star for 60 seconds.” Write each action on a piece of paper and crumple it into a ball. Pick one of the balls at random and pass it around in a circle, while the driver watches the odometer. When the odometer reaches a number ending in zero (or whatever number you like), he/she calls out “stop.” Whoever is holding the paper has to open it and act out what it says.
