Five Terrific Games To Play On The Way To Cornwall

1) The Sandreg Game
The object is to make an 'edible' sandwich out of the last three letters of registration plates.
Take it in turns and wait until a registration plate comes into view. Once you have identified the last three letters you have fifteen seconds to come up with each ingredient.
Therefore EGB could be Egg, Gherkin and Beetroot. Gets tricky when you get something like XJW.

2) Pub Cricket
Again take it in turns. When you pass by a pub you score one run for every 'leg' featured in the pub's name. i.e The Bull would score you four runs. So if on your turn you passed The Crab & Centipede you'll be laughing. The Amoeba & Snake, not so good.

3) The iGod Game
Attach a 21st century iPod to your car stereo. Turn on shuffle. When a song begins you must pull over and scream out the first page of the New Testament over the top of it. This is great fun but be warned - it can add a good couple of hours onto your journey time.

4) The Itching Game
On an A4 piece of paper write in large letters HAVE YOU GOT AN ITCH? Take it in turns to hold this up to other drivers and passengers in slow moving traffic. If anyone responds by writing YES on a piece of paper and holding it up then you score a point. You don't score double points if you encounter the same car in the slow-moving traffic unless they hold up a new piece of paper up on which they've written YES - I STILL HAVE AN ITCH, THANKS FOR ASKING AGAIN.

5) Cornish Liar
When you enter Devon pretend Devon is Cornwall and all say in unison "My, that took a lot quicker than last time." No one wins this game but it's still great fun to play.


If you already live in Cornwall or are driving somewhere else other than Cornwall then sorry, but you are prohibited from playing these five games.
