Fizz Buzz

Players count up from 1 in sequence. Any number divisible by 3 is replaced with "Fizz"; any divisible by 5 is "Buzz"; numbers divisible by both are "Fizz Buzz." Miss one and you're out. Advanced variants add more rules ("Zap" on 7, or on numbers *containing* a 5 or 7).

Ages 8+ (requires multiplication fluency)

Count the Animals / Count the ___

Pick something countable — cows, horses, telephone poles, red trucks. Everyone in the car counts out loud together, or each player tallies their own. Highest count at the destination wins (or first to 100).
