Fun Thanksgiving Games<\/h2>\n

Ever since we\u2019ve been married, we switch off holidays with my family and my in-laws. Every year I\u2019m in charge of bringing this sausage stuffing (and this Thanksgiving punch) plus coming up with some sort of fun Thanksgiving games to play before or after the feast (and football games). <\/p>\n

The challenge with planning games for Thanksgiving Day is that you typically have all sorts of ages wanting to play, so I\u2019ve included a bunch of Thanksgiving game options that work for the entire family \u2013 from grandma to the grandkids! <\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have any kids playing, I\u2019ve also included a ton of ideas that would work best for teens and adults \u2013 just keep reading and you\u2019re guaranteed to find something that works! <\/p>\n

Thanksgiving Games for Families<\/h2>\n

Whether you\u2019re celebrating with your immediate family, extended family, or even just your chosen family \u2013 these games will be perfect! All of these ideas work for any age but are fun enough that the adults will enjoy them just as much as the kids! <\/p>\n

Thanksgiving Minute to Win It Games<\/h3>\n

All of these games are\u00a0quick and easy minute to win it games. You can play them with individuals head to head or break into teams and let one member of each team play head to head! <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t know what what minute to win it games are?\u00a0Start with my\u00a0minute to win it games page\u00a0that\u2019s full of instructions, scoring ideas, and more! <\/p>\n

1 \u2013 Face the Pie<\/h4>\n

Supplies:<\/strong> Gummy ABC letters, pie tins, and spray whipped cream (or real whipped cream works too)<\/p>\n

Before the party, pull out\u00a0gummy letters that spell P-I-E for each letter. Put one letter of each of those words into an empty aluminum\u00a0pie tin. (This pack of 50 pie tins would be perfect.) Fill each of those pin tins with spray whipped cream and put in the refrigerator so they don\u2019t melt while you\u2019re waiting to play.<\/p>\n

To play, players must race to eat through their pies to find the letters inside. Once they find the letters inside, they must unscramble them to create the Thanksgiving themed word you came up with. Make sure to give each player an extra pie tin to toss their found letters into for unscrambling!<\/p>\n

\"Men\"Men<\/figure>\n
\"Pie\"Pie<\/figure>\n

2 \u2013 The Mayflower<\/h4>\n

Supplies:<\/strong> Under the bed storage container, small corks, fake flowers, and plastic straws (optional)<\/p>\n

Fill one of those big long under the bed storage containers\u00a0with water. Give everyone a small cork\u00a0with a fake flower stuck into it and have them put in on one end of the storage container.<\/p>\n

3- Shake Your Tail Feathers<\/h4>\n

Supplies<\/strong>: Rectangle tissue boxes, panty hose, and feathers<\/p>\n

Before the party, empty a tissue box for each player and replace the tissues with craft feathers. Tape a pair of pantyhose onto each box so the box is in the middle of the pantyhose.<\/p>\n

To play, give each player a box tied with pantyhose and have them tie the pantyhose around their waist so the tissue box is on their backside. Players must move around and shake until all of the feathers fall out of their tissue box.<\/p>\n

\"Getting\"Getting<\/figure>\n

4 \u2013 Feather Float<\/h4>\n

To win, player must be the first one to get their cork from one end of the storage container to the other, by only blowing on it. They can either blow on it alone or through a plastic straw. First\u00a0cork \u201cboat\u201d to touch the other end wins.<\/p>\n

Supplies:<\/strong> Small light feathers<\/p>\n

Give each player a light feather. To play, players must blow the feather in the air and keep it floating in the air as long as possible.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re playing individual style games, they must keep it up for a minute. If you\u2019re playing team or head to head, whoever keeps it up longest.<\/p>\n

\"Boys\"Boys<\/figure>\n

Supplies:<\/strong> Paper footballs (or mini footballs), buckets and pots, masking tape and markers to adding scores<\/p>\n

Give each player paper footballs or these mini footballs and line up a bunch of buckets or baskets at varying length. Tape a number to each of the buckets \u2013 the furthest one should be 7 points, the middle should be 3 points, and the closest should be 1.<\/p>\n

\"Buckets\"Buckets<\/figure>\n

Players have one minute to flick (like you\u2019re playing paper football) footballs into the buckets, scoring as many points as possible in the minute. Or have teams play simultaneously by using different colored footballs, and see who can get to 21 points first.<\/p>\n

\"Flicking\"Flicking<\/figure>\n

6 \u2013 The Goblet Gobble<\/h4>\n

Supplies:<\/strong> Plastic goblets, orange ping pong balls<\/p>\n

Purchase glass or plastic goblets like these ones and place one per team\/player on a table on a far side of the room. On the other side of the room, place orange ping pong balls.<\/p>\n

To play, players must transfer three\u00a0ping pong balls from the table to their goblet on the opposite side of the room. The catch? They can only touch (and hold) the ping pong ball between their chin and their neck.<\/p>\n

7 \u2013 Please Pass the Corn<\/h4>\n

Supplies<\/strong>: Candy corn, popsicle sticks, and a shallow bowl or pie tin.<\/p>\n

This game is played in pairs. Give each team two popsicle sticks sticks, a bowl full of candy corn, and then put an empty bowl at the other side of the table.\u00a0Both players should put their popsicle sticks in their mouth.<\/p>\n

To play, the player furthest from the empty bowl picks up a piece of candy corn and sticks it on the popsicle stick with their hand. They must then transfer the candy corn from their popsicle stick to their teammate\u2019s popsicle stick (no hands \u2013 just popsicle sticks held in mouths) and the second teammate must transfer the piece of candy corn to the empty bowl. <\/p>\n

The team that gets the most candy corn transferred successfully into their bowl in a minute wins.<\/p>\n

\"Transferring\"Transferring<\/figure>\n

8 \u2013 Traffic Yam<\/h4>\n

Supplies:<\/strong> Raw yams, metal spoons, and painter\u2019s tape (or something else to make a line)<\/p>\n

Give each player a raw yam (sweet potato) and have them put it on the ground on one side of the room. Players must race to get their yam from one side of the room to cross a line (taped down with painter\u2019s tape) on the other side of the room and then get back to the starting line. Players can only move the yam by pushing it with the spoon.<\/p>\n

This one is the most hilarious if you have multiple people play at the same time because the yams tend to go in crazy directions. Players can also push other people\u2019s yams to play defense as well, just whoever gets their yam across the line first.<\/p>\n

\"Using\"Using<\/figure>\n

9 \u2013 Reverse Traffic Yam<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Supplies:<\/strong>\u00a0Raw yams, metal spoons, and painter\u2019s tape (or something else to make a line)<\/p>\n

Give each player a raw yam and a metal spoon. Players must place the yam on their spoon and walk across the room and back holding the yam on their spoon (like an egg race). If the yam falls on the ground, they must go back to the beginning and start over.<\/p>\n

Make it even more difficult by making people walk backward! First player to cross the line with their yam safely in their spoon wins.<\/p>\n

\"Kids\"Kids<\/figure>\n

10 \u2013 Corn to Copia<\/h4>\n

Supplies:<\/strong> Fake corn, empty cornucopia, blindfold<\/p>\n

This game requires two players per team. Give one player on each team a large empty fake cornucopia and blindfold them and have them stand on one side of the room.<\/p>\n

Have the other player stand about ten feet away and give them a bucket full of plastic or stuffed corns (we used little Indian corns like these ones).<\/p>\n

To play, the first player must hike (football style) the corn to their teammate who must catch three, blindfolded. Or if that\u2019s too tough, catch one. Players can talk to each other to help direct\u00a0their teammate.<\/p>\n

\"These\"These<\/figure>\n

12 \u2013 Turkey Bowl<\/h4>\n

Supplies:<\/strong> Fish bowl, stuffed or plastic turkey, colored ping pong balls<\/p>\n

Place a fish bowl with a plastic or stuffed turkey (this guy is so cute!)\u00a0in the middle of a room.<\/p>\n

Place a large bowl of colored ping pong balls (different colors in each bowl) 10 feet away from the fish bowl in the four directions (to the right, to the left, in front of, behind). The first player to bounce one (or more if your teams are good) into the turkey bowl wins! <\/p>\n

13 \u2013 A Bit Corny<\/b><\/h4>\n

Balance six candy corn on a Popsicle stick held in your mouth. Start with just the popsicle stick\u00a0in the mouth and one by one add the candy corn to the stick. The first player to get all six on the stick wins.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/figure>\n

14 \u2013 Hut, Hut, Hoop<\/h4>\n

Bend over and hike toilet paper rolls through\u00a0a hoop\u00a015 feet away. Make a certain number of rolls through the hoop within the minute. If you want to go the football route, you can try any of these\u00a0football party games\u00a0too!<\/p>\n

\"Collage\"Collage<\/figure>\n

15 \u2013 Linemen<\/h4>\n

This is one of my favorite Super Bowl party games, but it\u2019d be perfect for a football loving family on Thanksgiving too! <\/p>\n

Have players stand at one end of the table and slide\u00a0Oreo cookies\u00a0on a\u00a0football tablecloth, trying to get them to land touching the line.<\/p>\n

Players have to land one linemen (Oreo) on each of the lines the fastest (or within a minute) to win.<\/p>\n

\"These\"These<\/figure>\n

Pumpkin Roll<\/h3>\n

Players roll a pumpkin and try to get it to land inside of a taped out game board to win prizes! It\u2019s super simple and could be adapted for pretty much any fall party! You can get all the pumpkin roll game rules here. <\/p>\n

\"kid\"kid<\/figure>\n

Turkey Hunt<\/h3>\n

This turkey hunt idea was actually submitted by one of my readers who plays this every year with her family! The basic idea is that the host hides a turkey then everyone looks for it throughout the day. The person who finds it wins a prize then hides the turkey again \u2013 everyone can look and win prizes throughout the day until all the prizes are gone! <\/p>\n

I made a printable turkey hunt game that you can use with either the idea above or just as more of a Thanksgiving scavenger hunt. <\/p>\n

\"Ceramic\"Ceramic<\/figure>\n

Thanksgiving Family Feud<\/h3>\n

This fun Thanksgiving version of the classic game show is one of the best Thanksgiving games for Thanksgiving Day with all of its Thanksgiving questions! You can get both Thanksgiving and Christmas family feud questions in this post. <\/p>\n

\"A\"A<\/figure>\n

Thanksgiving Bingo<\/h3>\n

While my family personally only plays Christmas bingo, I know a lot of families who play Thanksgiving bingo too! Use these printable Thanksgiving bingo cards for a fun Thanksgiving version of the classic family game! <\/p>\n

\"Thanksgiving\"Thanksgiving<\/figure>\n

Thanksgiving Outburst<\/h3>\n

Outburst is always a hit because it\u2019s literally just yelling out words in a category and even kids can come up with things for categories like Thanksgiving desserts and football teams! You can download Thanksgiving outburst cards here. <\/p>\n

\"Thanksgiving\"Thanksgiving<\/figure>\n

Thanksgiving Pictionary<\/h3>\n

Grab a pen and some paper for this fun Thanksgiving pictionary game! It\u2019s as simple as splitting into teams then seeing who can draw Thanksgiving words for their team to guess first! This one\u2019s a classic for a reason! <\/p>\n

\"Thanksgiving\"Thanksgiving<\/figure>\n

Gratitude Punch Game<\/h3>\n

This Thanksgiving version of a punch game (our Christmas punch game went totally viral) incorporates the idea of a punch game with talking about things you\u2019re grateful for! Fill the gratitude game with gratitude questions for people and Thanksgiving snacks! Then when they punch it out, they answer the question and get the treat! <\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/figure>\n

Gratitude Skittles Game<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t want to make a punch game like the one above? Try this Skittles gratitude game that literally just uses a bag of Skittles and this Skittles gratitude game printout. Players grab a random Skittle candy and answer questions based on what they chose! <\/p>\n

\"Gratitude\"Gratitude<\/figure>\n

Thanksgiving Charades<\/h3>\n

Another classic game with a Thanksgiving twist! Players pick out one of these Thanksgiving charades words then act it out for their team to guess! This is one of my family\u2019s favorites to play every holiday and Thanksgiving is no different! <\/p>\n

Or mix it up and try reverse charades instead, which is way more fun in my opinion. Get the rules in our party games post that features our favorite games! <\/p>\n

\"Thanksgiving\"Thanksgiving<\/figure>\n

Thanksgiving Would You Rather<\/h3>\n

Everyone will love answering these hilarious Thanksgiving would you rather questions together! Turn it into more of a game than an activity by having people choose and try to match the majority (like we did with our New Year\u2019s Eve would you rather game). <\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/figure>\n

Thanksgiving Dice Game<\/h3>\n

Another variation on a gratitude game that incorporates dice (kind of like my dice gift exchange). This fun Thanksgiving dice game will get everyone involved and is super easy to play \u2013 just roll the dice and say something nice about the person the dice tells you to talk about! <\/p>\n

Thanksgiving matching Game<\/h3>\n

While a Thanksgiving matching game doesn\u2019t typically seem like it\u2019s for adults, this one is because you\u2019ll be matching ingredients to popular Thanksgiving menu items! This one was challenging even for me, but it\u2019s so fun to try! <\/p>\n
