How the game continues

  1. Choose the first letter of your name.
  2. Look for it on signs outside.
  3. Move to another letter if you want.

You are done when

Stop after any letter or after the whole name.

If you get stuck

Skip an unknown or missing letter. If an adult passenger is present, they can face the child and trace it in the air. You may also stop.

More rounds

  • Find the same letter on two different signs.
  • If an adult passenger is present, try the first letter of their name.
  • If an adult passenger is present, the child chooses a familiar letter for them to find.

Safety

The child stays buckled in. The driver does not take part. Stop the activity at once if the child feels sick or uncomfortable.

Letters from my name

Start with the first letter of the name. Look for more only if the child wants to; the whole name is optional.
