Yes. I'd like the final list

Hmmmm... how about trying to "collect" all 50 states in terms of license
plates sighted?
Also, how about points for the rarest license plate? We saw one from
Guam the other day at the outlet mall... :)

It's not a "points" scavenger hunt game, but we always like to play
the "Alphabet Game" when travelling long distance (and I still do,
even when driving alone). It's very straight forward, perhaps you do
it already. You have to find each letter in the alphabet, in order,
winner being the one who finds the letter "Z" first. You can use
signs, lettering on vehicles, license plates, license plate holders -
anything's fair game. Just call out each letter as you see it.

We had 2 rules: 1) the letter has to be actually be *seen*, not
inferred - if you're looking for "V" and come across "Che rolet", you
don't get the "V" because it's missing; 2) you can only look out the
front and side windows - no looking backward because the driver can't
(or shouldn't).

Anyway, it was quickly done, could be repeated as wanted, and keeps
you alert.

Our other game was to keep a list of license plates we came across,
although we didn't do it for points, just for interest.

Pam,

Are you still taking ideas? I just returned from a long driving trip,
and came up with 2 things having to do with license plates.

For the "scavenger hunt" list, how about trailers where the license
plate isn't from the same state/province as the vehicle doing the
towing?  As an example, I saw a UPS tractor/cab pulling 2 trailers.
One trailer had an Illinois license plate, the second a Kentucky
license plate, and the tractor sported plates from Oregon.

Note that I also noticed that not all tractors on 18-wheelers have
visible license plates. But you can also look on camping trailers,
rental trailers, pretty much anything being towed.

A slightly different license plate game I thought of has to do with
special plates in honor of groups or causes - see how many different
ones for various groups/causes you can spot. I'm talking about real
state-issued plates that you have on the back of your vehicle.
Examples: Space Shuttle license plates from Florida, Illinois plates
honoring Purple Heart receipients, square dancing plates from
Pennsylvania, environment(al) plates from various states,
college/university plates, etc.

Just a couple ideas...
