Snotacular Travel Game (For Kids and Big Kids)
Want something funny to play on long journeys? How about making up snotacular place names?
1. Think of Funny Words
Think of words that makes you laugh, or even better, words that makes you go 'ugh'. Suitable words include 'bogie', 'slime' and 'sausage' but you can come up with your own.
2. Look for Real Place Names on Sign Posts
Look around for sign posts. Read the place names.
Do you notice any patterns? For example: 'Falmouth', 'Plymouth' and 'Exmouth' all end in 'mouth'.
If you don't see any patterns, try chopping a long word in half. For example: 'London' would become 'Lon' and 'don' and Manchester would become 'Man' and 'chester'.
Make a list of the bits of place names that you really like.
3. Combine Your Funny Words with Real Place Names
Mix your words from Part 1 with the place names you found in Part 2, to come up with your snotacular place names.
For example: Bogiemouth, Slimedon, Sausagechester
