The Train Game: Try to guess the color of the last train car. Kids love it!

The train game is a way for handy fathers to occupy the minds of children while waiting on a train to pass.  The train game is simple.

When stopped by a train, everyone in the vehicle tries to guess what color the last train car will be.

The more common colors like black, white and gray are usually guessed by the kids because they want to win.  I however, love to guess less common colors to elicit reactions from my kids.

Pink and purple are my favorite colors to guess.

The train game is over when the train passes to reveal the color of the final car.

If there is a winner, that person gets a “high five” from everyone else in the vehicle.  If there is no winner, we all “high five” anyway, and say good guess.

I suppose the older the kids get, the less often this game will be played.

Other train games:

• Count the train cars
• Looking for graffiti
• Guess the destination
• Guess the train car contents

These games are all about memories, and keeping the kids occupied while in the car.  Engaging with your child is simple.  Just take a minute or two, and share in some conversation.  You may be amazed what a little train game might do for your car ride.
