DISCLAIMER: Because I'm old as hell, this was in the days before mp3 players and handheld gaming systems. Our first car didn't even have a CD player, so we were at the mercy of whatever radio stations we could pick up along the way. Or the passenger could read to the driver. Or we could play games.
I don't know the name of the game we played that day, but I remember the rules. It might have been called "Picnic." The first player started by saying, "I'm going on a picnic and I'm bringing along a(n):" and then named an object that started with the letter "A." The next player repeated the phrase, along with the first player's "A" object and then added one starting with "B" and so on. So, the fifth turn might sound something like, "I'm going on a picnic and I'm bringing along an abacus, a banana, a cucumber, a dalmation, and an.... ummmm.... elephant." The game was won when the other player forgot one of your items or couldn't come up with an item that started with the appropriate letter. If you've never tried it, trust me. "Q" is a bitch.
