Word game to exercise kids minds on car trips
English teacher David Strand from Coon Rapids Minnesota recommends a mental calisthenic for school age children and even preschoolers during long trips waits or lagging conversation. Choose a category such as TV shows movies or popular songs and guess titles by saying them in opposites. For example Sad Nights becomes Happy Days and Mrs Dad becomes Mr Mom. If numbers appear double the number in translation. Take turns declaring an opposite title and others shout until the correct one is stated. Continue creating and guessing titles.
