Looking for ways to keep your group entertained on your next charter bus trip? Games are the perfect solution! Not only do they help pass the time on long stretches of highway, but they’re also a great opportunity for everyone to bond. And when you book group transportation from Partybus.com, amenities like WiFi and spacious seating make gaming even more enjoyable. Here are 10 of our favorite bus-friendly games that are guaranteed to be a hit with groups of all ages:
Two Truths and a Lie
This classic icebreaker works great on bus trips! Have everyone take turns making three statements about themselves – two true facts and one lie. Then the rest of the group tries to guess which statement is the lie. It’s a fun way to get to know some surprising things about your fellow travelers.
Heads Up!
Have you played this popular charades-style game? The Heads Up! smartphone app translates perfectly to charter bus trips. Just have one player hold the phone up to their forehead to display a word while everyone else acts it out or gives verbal clues until they guess correctly. Playable with 2-10 people.
Never Have I Ever
This classic party game works just as well on a bus trip as in a living room. Have everyone hold up a hand and take turns saying “Never have I ever…” followed by something they’ve never done. Anyone who has done it puts a finger down. Last person with fingers remaining wins!
I Spy / 20 Questions
These timeless favorites are tailor-made for bus trips. For I Spy, have one person pick out something they see and say “I spy with my little eye…” and then describe it until someone guesses the object. For 20 Questions, one player thinks of a person, place or thing and everyone else gets 20 yes-or-no questions to figure it out.
Name That Tune
If your charter bus has TVs or you’ve got a smartphone handy, cue up songs and have people race to shout out the name of the song or artist. You can even divide into teams and keep score. Whoever identifies the most songs correctly wins!
Fortunately / Unfortunately
In this silly storytelling game, players take turns building a story, with each person alternating between starting their sentence with “Fortunately…” and “Unfortunately…”. You’ll be amazed at the hilarious tales you end up with by the time you reach your destination.
Would You Rather
Here’s a fun conversation starter that can lead to fascinating discussions among your group. Simply ask silly or thought-provoking “Would you rather…” questions, like “Would you rather be able to fly or be invisible?” or “Would you rather give up your smartphone or your car for a month?” and see where the chat takes you!
License Plate Game
A charter bus road trip classic! See who can spot the most out-of-state license plates from your comfy bus seats. Bonus points for anyone who sees Alaska or Hawaii plates! You can also try to find plates from all 50 states.
Scavenger Hunt
Before your trip, make a list of items for people to spot out the window during your bus ride – things like cows, water towers, funny road signs, etc. Whoever finds the most items on the list wins a prize! It’s a great way to engage your group with the passing scenery.
Karaoke
If your charter bus has a entertainment system, why not have a karaoke contest? Queue up some favorite sing-along tunes and let people take turns belting them out! You can even award points for enthusiasm. Don’t be surprised if an impromptu dance party breaks out in the aisles.
