I'm sad to say that I don't get it either.

I think it was explained before.

The normal way is to have the first person say, "I'm going on a trip, and I'm taking an [noun that starts with A]." The next person repeats that and adds "and a [noun that starts with B]." The pattern continues until you've covered the alphabet in order. It's a game to challenge the players' memories.<br><br>O&M characters have played variants of this game many times. Once they did it with big-vocabulary words. Once they did it with made-up words. Once Millie simply declared she was taking "EVERYTHING!"<br><br>One day I considered the variant in the cartoon presented above. I came up with a figurative kind of "taking" for every letter.

Huh. I never really played games on long car trips.

I never played games in the car either (except the "Dave, leave my car alone FFS!". Usually just put on my CD player and stare out the window.

While I never played "I'm Going on a Trip and I'm Taking...," I have played "I'm So Hungry I Could Eat..." and "My Brother Owns a Multiplex and It's Showing...." In truth, there are many vocal interactivities I love to do on family car rides. For longer ones, it's necessary for my sanity. Passively listening to music and looking out the window helps me for about five minutes. I haven't fully overcome my childhood problem of getting headaches from reading in the car. And handheld video games never did much for me.<br><br>Some of these games I've devised on my own. There are a few similar ones among the Forum Games.

I love that coloring, probably because it's a one color strip.

It almost makes me want to make textures and construct a virtual model of the place. <!--emo&:)--><img src='
