Play, Tag, Share and Enter to Win Great Prizes with #AlamoGames2Go!

#ALAMOGAMES2GO
Not to sound like a complainer, but kids these days. They've got it easy.

How much time and effort did we have to put in to perfect our research and bibliographies for reports? Now all they have to do is Google.

We also had to practice our cursive handwriting over and over again to make sure that each loop and curve connected just so. Do kids even learn cursive these days? Wouldn't it make more sense to teach them to type in elementary school instead?

And what about road trips? We spent hours in the car entertaining ourselves, scouring license plates for letters of the alphabet, trying to read books without getting carsick... these days my girls sit back in their luxuriously comfortable car seats and watch the movie of their choosing while I stare out at the open road.

What's next? Massage chairs for them at the park?

Fortunately for all of us, Alamo has created a way for the entire family to have a fun and entertaining time while in the car and on vacation thanks to their innovative, social media invention, #AlamoGames2Go.

(If this is the first that you're hearing about #AlamoGames2Go, don’t worry – there is still a lot of summer and family fun to be had!)

This summer, Alamo has created four different #AlamoGames2Go, so to participate all you have to do is choose one or all of them to do each day, share your photos on your favorite social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Vine) using the #AlamoGames2Go hashtag, and then visit the #AlamoGames2Go Facebook tab for a chance to win various awesome prizes.

The four great game options are:

1. Alamoding – a take on "planking," players should strike their best driving pose and capture it in a photo.
    2. Alamovie – lights, camera, action! Capture candid family moments that make your vacation or summertime special. Use Vine or another video app to create short movies to share.
      3. PixPursuit – a scavenger photo hunt for the whole family. The #AlamoGames2Go tab has the complete list of things to find, but some of the fun items include cotton candy, surfer, sand castle, concert stage, wild animal, hiking trail and more!
        4. SnapFamily – chose from one of the provided backdrop selections or find your own to take scenic family photos in front of!
