How to Elevate Thanksgiving Experience with Fun Games

Thanksgiving is the special time of the year known for good food, heartiest laughter and reconnecting with our loved ones. It’s all about gathering around the table adorned with lavish food, reminiscing about old memories and creating new ones. Every family has its own way of celebrating this auspicious event. Some might follow any food ritual, while others may play a quirky game every year, which has now become a tradition in the family. We have compiled a bunch of interactive and exciting games to make your Thanksgiving more fun and memorable.

Never Have I Ever

Never Have I Ever is the best warm-up game. It works great for breaking the ice between relatives meeting after a long time and helps them loosen up and engage in laughter.

How to play it:

• Gather everyone around the table and sit in a circle. Place some playful beverage shots like whiskey sour, wine, tequila, mojito, and apple cider vinegar and rest on the table.
• One person begins the game by saying, “Never Have I Ever,” followed by a statement about something that they have never done.
• Others will sip the drink in front of them if they are guilty of doing the mentioned thing, or they will stay silent otherwise.
• Try using Thanksgiving prompts to make it more fun and relevant.

Thanksgiving Charades

Charades are a timeless party game. It is a lighthearted way to help people engage with each other. Make it more exciting by giving it a Thanksgiving twist.

How to play it:

• Write down Thanksgiving-related phrases and items on small paper cards.
• Players take turns acting out and guessing the word or phrase on the paper.
• The acting players can use facial expressions, gestures or body language to give cues without uttering a word.
• The rest of the people guess what the player is doing. The person with the highest correct guesses wins.

Turkey Hunt

Treasure Hunt is the best game to keep the kids occupied while you spend quality time with friends and family. It is like the usual Scavenger Hunt but with an amusing Thanksgiving spin.

How to play it:

• Hide various Thanksgiving-themed items and toy turkeys around the house before the game.
• Give the kids some cues and set enough time to find them.
• The person who finds the most items wins an exciting prize.

Thanksgiving is a reminder to appreciate the things that we often take for granted, like the warmth of our house and the love and support of our family and friends. Make your Thanksgiving more entertaining by playing exciting games with your loved ones, coupled with delicious turkey and baked potatoes. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
