Summer Road Trip Fun Made Easy

Summer’s here, and that means road trip season!

But we all know the chorus of “Are we there yet?” can hit before you’ve even left city limits. That’s why we’ve put together a list of fun, safe, and screen-free activities to keep your crew entertained from Point A to Point B. We’ve also included a few vehicle tips to help make sure the ride is as smooth as possible. For an even smoother ride, you can also check out these Great Tips To Maintain Your Tires.

But first… A Travel Checklist
Here’s a handy PDF checklist of road trip essentials we found from CAA to help you prepare before you go. And trust us – they’ve thought of EVERYTHING!

Ready to go? Then let’s cruise!
Whether you’re heading to the lake, across the province, or just a few hours out of town, Integra Tire is here to help you get the most out of your journey.

Would You Rather: Road Trip Edition

There are only so many rounds of “I Spy” one car can handle. Try mixing it up with a round of Would You Rather? to get the whole vehicle chatting and laughing. It’s a great way to pass the time and discover some unexpected things about your fellow travellers.

Here are a few to try out:

• Would you rather be able to communicate with people from the past or the future?

• Would you rather speak all languages or play all musical instruments?

• Would you rather have a special power or a lot of money?

• Would you rather teleport anywhere instantly or have a wallet that never runs out of money?

• Would you rather fly or turn invisible?

• Would you rather have a lifetime supply of your favourite food or beverage?

• Would you rather never have to sleep again or never have to eat again?

A good round of this can easily fill an hour, and maybe you’ll learn something about your travel companions you didn’t know!

Car Tip: Before you hit the highway, take a few minutes to check your tire pressure, oil, and be sure you’re not leaking any fluids. If you’re not sure where to start, your local Integra technician is happy to help with a quick inspection.

Classic Games, Reinvented

No screens? No problem. Here are two easy and fun classics with a twist.

Story Chain
Start a silly story with one sentence. Each person in the car adds to it with the next line. The only rule is that you can’t plan ahead. Just go with it and see where the adventure leads. Make up your own or try these prompts to get you started:

1. “It was a normal Tuesday until a raccoon wearing sunglasses handed us a treasure map at the gas station.”

2. “Our GPS suddenly said, ‘Turn left into the clouds,’ and then the car started to float.”

3. “When we opened the cooler for snacks, and you won’t believe what everything inside had turned into!”

4. “As we drove past the cornfield, one of the cornstalks waved at us and whispered, ‘Help me!’”

5. “We thought we were heading to Grandma’s, but the road signs started pointing to ‘Adventure Town’ instead.”

6. “The car radio cut out, and a mysterious voice said, ‘Your mission begins now…’”

Soundtrack DJ
Let each passenger take turns picking a song that matches the mood. It could be a song for open highway vibes, a rainy window moment, or even something dramatic for a traffic jam. You might just discover a new favourite.

Bonus Tip: Before your trip, check that your charging cables, speakers, and Bluetooth are working properly. Your playlist deserves to play all the way through without any surprise tech hiccups. A quick check at Integra Tire can give you peace of mind.
