We spend a fair amount of time in the car driving to various kid-related activities on a weekly basis. We listen to audio books frequently but lately the Punch Buggy game and some old songs keep our car an interesting place to be.
My kids and their friends have a new variation on the Punch Buggy game with not only VW Bugs, but PT Cruisers. They punch someone when they see a VW and give a pinch when a PT Cruiser (dubbed a Beetle Bug) drives by. Sometimes the kids decide not to punch or pinch someone and instead call out a "save." With the various carpools we have with other families, the kids do quite a bit of chatting about how many saves everyone has, which is much better than punching and pinching all the time. There are a lot of VWs and PT Cruisers on the road these days.
And I'm not immune to the game I enjoyed playing as a kid. This morning I spotted a PT Cruiser on my commute to work this morning and actually thought about calling out a "save."
To add to the car entertainment, the kids have learned some of those classic, silly songs I haven't heard, let along sung, in years like Little Bunny Foo Foo and Baby Bumble Bee. These songs definitely get stuck in my head - just like they did when I was a kid - and now I'm wondering if the 100th round of their favorite CD isn't all that bad.
Do your kids have a game they like to play in the car?
