A ROADSIDE ALPHABET

Sharp eyes are needed for this game, which is a free-for-all. It's easy enough to explain, but riotous to play.

The object is to run through the alphabet using the first letters of things seen out of the window. An apple, an aeroplane or an ambulance gives you A, and a bull, a boat or a bakery gives you B. The letters must be spotted in the right order. You cannot count C for cow unless you've already seen something beginning with B.

One other rule: the same kind of object cannot be used for two separate letters. Thus, if you have used automobile to give you A, you can't then use car to give you C.

Roadside Alphabet is just as much fun if it's not done as a competition, but as joint effort by all the passengers.
