Hi Masoud,
Many thanks for your comment. The games you mention seem great for car travel too.
I am interested to hear that you have introduced my podcasts to your wife and daughter. I can also imagine that, sometimes, it would be more enjoyable for your daughter to play, rather than hear my voice rambling on.
Have a great day.
Rob.

Hi Rob,
That’s very interesting!
To avoid hearing “Are we there yet?” from the back seat, my wife and I play several similar games in the car with our 8-year-old daughter. For example, similar to “I Spy,” we play a game where we say, “Can you find something that’s the color [X]?”
We also enjoy a 20-question game, where one person thinks of something, and the others ask up to 20 questions to guess what it is.
In our alphabet word game, we use names of animals, fruits, girls, and boys to keep it fun and educational.
I have introduced you and your podcasts to my wife and daughter. We all enjoy listening to yours, whether at home or on the road!
Sometimes my daughter asks me, “What’s new from Rob?” However, there are times when she playfully nags, “Again, Rob?” when I’m reading or listening to your content but she wants me to play with her.
Best regards,
Masoud

Hi Rob,
You gave the podcast a great title, I think. I’ll test to see if I won’t have to say: ‘Are we there yet?’ when I play the games with my family on my next road trip. Many thanks for recommending these interesting games.

Hi Sergey,
Thanks for your comment. It’s great to know that the games you play in Russia are similar to the games we play here in Australia. It just shows that we are all similar, even if we live so far apart and come from different cultures. Thanks for your continued interest in my podcast. I really appreciate it.
Cheers,
Rob

Hi Rob. I and my kids (8 and 10 years old) like to play the same games, especially “guess an animal”. We live in Russia and it’s funny that the games are similar all around the world

Hi Nurul nisa,
Thanks for your comment. My favourite place in Australia is Tasmania. Tasmania has beautiful countryside and the scenery is amazing. The roads are very good for motorcycling, one of my favourite hobbies. I always enjoy a holiday in Tasmania.

Have a great day.
Rob
