My friends and i will be travelling from melbourne to adelaide on bus...?


Travel Info
...and i'm looking for good games that you can play during the bus ride. i need help, age group around 12-22. and how long does it take to get there from Werribee to Adelaide CBD? so if anyone who knows any games that can entertain people, please help.

Travel Tips
Well, it takes about 12-16 hours, depending on your average speed and how many rest stops you take.

Travel Battleship, Chess, Checkers, Chinese Checkers, and the like are good. You can pick these up cheap at The Reject Shop or The $2 Shop. More complicated games like "travel" Monopoly or Scrabble are really hopeless; Too many bits to keep hold of.

I can't think of many card games off the top of my head that you can play without a table, but there might be quite a few if you have a bit of a search. There's Go Fish and Old Maid for starters.

Advise everyone to bring a book, and a personal music player if they have one, for when they feel like being less active. On my trip we chartered our own bus and everyone made a compilation tape/CD/minidisc to pipe through the speakers, and everyone got their compilation played once, which was kind of interesting. Even if you can't run your music through the speakers, people can still trade compilations.

Big puzzle/crossword books can be good, especially if you cut/tear pages out and hand them around. Some puzzle books I've seen even have perforated pages for exactly this reason. Make sure you have plenty of pens or pencils; Pencils are usually better, because if they get jammed or broken you can just sharpen them (or advance the lead if it's a mechanical pencil), and you can erase mistakes, which is a big plus for doing puzzles and crosswords.

I hope you enjoy your trip!

This may sound kidish, but believe me it passes the time! Go through the alphabet a-z finding the letters on all the billboards and buildings, but not the license plates, or anywhere in the car. Whoever gets all the letters first, "wins" It is very competitive game so to say.

I don't remember the other game, but when I think of it I will add it on
Get everyone to choose a make of car (eg Mitsubishi, Holden, Ford) or a colour or car, and they have to keep count of the number of those vehicles they see. Might work.
Another option I can think of, although this may not work unless everyone is a bit intoxicated, is starting a full-bus sing-a-long.

One more thought, but it is a tad morbid, play count the road-kill.
well if u didnt hav underage people i would say drink
The good old license plate game. Look at the letters on passing cars and either choose to make up a name or a sentence. eg. EHS - Ellen Harriett Smith or every hour sucks. etc etc. Have fun!!!!
I went to adelaide for weekend, and it tooks us 6 hours to drive there from Melbourne, i guess a car is a little faster and we only stopped once. Games? read a book... talking
