Guess the Distance

One person keeps track of the odometer, and when the second player is ready, says “Go.” The second player tries to guess when one mile has passed. Keep track of how close each person is to the correct distance. After 5 tries for each person, add up the totals and whoever has the lowest total is the winner.

Hot and Cold

One person thinks of an item that is inside the car. The other players take turns guessing the item. After each guess, the person who thought of the item says whether the guess is “hot” or “cold” (to indicate how close they are to the item). The first person to guess the correct item is the winner and gets to think up the next item.
