Know Of Any Good Mental Health Road Games?

by Alicia Sparks, Mental Health Notes on May 14th, 2008

I’ve been in the car a lot over the past week - making long trips, making short trips, stuck in delays because of road work - and at some point during that time I started thinking about road games (car games, travel games - whatever you like to call them). I don’t know why, as I was never one to play road games during trips. My sister and I (and especially my best friend, whenever she traveled with us) always made up our own games.

Lip-syncing to whatever was on the radio to entertain the people in the vehicles behind us was always a favorite.

Anyway, like I said, I started thinking about road games. Which led me to think about mental health road games. Which led to a Google search of “mental health road games.” Which led to a bunch of stories about road rage, MADD, and video game obsession as a form of mental illness (I wrote about that once, remember?).

And some stuff about math. But honestly, who cares about math?

So, do any of you know of any road games related to mental health? Or road games designed to keep the ol’ brain sharp (teasers, trivia, and the like)?

Except for those related to math. Because really, math sucks.

In the meantime, I’m working on a review of Google’s top five results for “brain games.” (I chose not to use “mental health games” because many of the results weren’t actually games.)
