Classic Games for Bus Journeys
Remember these classic games to keep the fun times rolling during your Sunshine Tours bus journey.
“I Spy”
This funny bus game is perfect for all ages and requires no equipment. One player chooses an object in sight and gives an abstract hint like “I spy with my little eye something red.” The other passengers then take turns guessing what the object could be. The game continues until a player guesses the object correctly.
20 Questions
One player thinks of a person, place, or thing, and the other passengers ask up to 20 yes-or-no questions to figure out what it is. The player who guesses correctly then gets to think of the next item.
Travel Bingo
Before setting off, create bingo cards with items you might spot on your journey, such as a red barn, a horse, a motorcycle, etc. As you travel, mark off each item you see. The first to spot all the items in a column or row and yell “Bingo!” wins.
Name That Tune
One player hums or whistles a song tune while the others take turns guessing the song’s title or artist. The person who guesses correctly gets the honor of humming the next song. This game can quickly turn into a full-blown travel karaoke session!
Interactive Group Games
Interactive group games enliven the trip and promote group interaction and camaraderie, putting every member at ease.
Charades
Charades is a game that is a perfect fit for a bus tour. One player acts out a word or phrase without speaking while the rest of the group attempts to guess what it is. The word or phrase can be a movie, book, or common saying.
The Alphabet Game
The Alphabet Game is a quick, easy, and fun way to bring everyone together. You start with the letter ‘A’ and go around, with each player saying a word that begins with the next letter in the alphabet. The last player left is the champion!
Would You Rather?
Players take turns asking questions that start with “Would you rather…?”. For example, “Would you rather always be 10 minutes late or 20 minutes early?”. There are no right or wrong answers, and the resulting discussions can be surprising and highly entertaining.
Technology-Based Games
Having some tech-based games to play on a bus journey can add a modern twist to your trip while keeping everyone entertained.
Mobile App Recommendations
Apps like ‘Heads Up!’, an exciting charades-inspired game, or ‘Psych!’, a trivia game where you make up fake answers to real trivia questions, are perfect for group play. For those who prefer solitary gaming, ‘Monument Valley’ or ‘Candy Crush Saga’ can be riveting.
Podcast and Trivia Quizzes
Podcasts are a fantastic source of entertainment and can also be incredibly educational. You can choose a podcast suitable for your group’s interests, listen to a set duration, and have a discussion afterward. Alternatively, you can play trivia quizzes based on podcasts.
