Summarize the following:
If you're not allowed to bring electronic devices on your field trip, you can pass the time with road trip games that don't require any accessories to play. Depending on the game, you'll probably need at least one other person to play. However, you'll have more fun if you get as many people involved as possible. In some cases, you may choose to play a game that the entire bus can participate in. If you want to keep it simple, play "20 Questions." One person thinks of an object or person, and the other players ask questions, all the way up to 20, to try to figure out the answer. "Telephone" is a fun game for the entire bus. One person starts by whispering a sentence or two to another person, who then tries to repeat it verbatim to a third person -- and so on. The final person says the phrase out loud, so everyone can hear how close it is to what the original person said. When you're driving a highway, you can play the "Restaurant/Gas Station/Hotel" game. All the players choose a specific restaurant, gas station, or hotel, such as McDonald's or Burger King, and you earn a point every time you see the place you've chosen or its logo on a road sign. The person with the most points at the end of the allotted time wins. Another fun way to pass the time and involve the entire bus is to sing some bus songs. You can go around the bus and have everyone start a song to get a good variety of music. In some cases, it can be fun to choose a theme, such as songs about driving, Disney songs, or songs with "trip" in the title. It's usually best to use current pop songs that most people would know, so no one feels left out. If you have a school song, you might end or start the sing along with that. On a short bus ride, you may not necessarily need a book or electronic device to entertain you. Instead, you can pass the time talking to your friends and catching up on what's going on with them. If you're not sitting near your friends and are sharing a seat with someone who you don't know very well, take the opportunity to get to know your fellow student a little better. If you're not sure what to talk about, consider having a conversation about the field trip and what you expect to see and do during the day. If your field trip destination is a significant distance from school, you'll have to sit through a long bus ride. That's why it's a good idea to bring something to entertain yourself, so time passes a little more quickly. If you bring your phone or tablet, you may be able to listen to music or play games. You might prefer to bring a book or some magazines that you can share with friends. Make sure to ask your teacher if you're allowed to bring your phone, tablet, or other electronic devices before the trip. You don't want to count on your device to entertain you, only to have your teacher confiscate it when you get on the bus.
Play road games. Start a sing-along. Chat with friends. Bring entertainment.
