It can be fun to see how many animals can you squeeze into the car and it turns into a brain game for the guesser. Then one of the kids will make another animal sound or the same one, you never know. Then I reply by guessing what animal is in the car thusly: (gasp!) “Is there a COW in our car?!” Then the cow/child will confirm that there IS a cow in the car. It usually starts with a moo or a ribbit uttered in the back seat. My kids often initiate this one themselves!
