...and we're not talking football. Engage your guests young and old with some good old-fashioned family fun.
At-the-table Games
Bird Brain Builders
The first player answers one of the questions below, filling in the blank. The next person repeats that response, plus adds his or her own answer at the end. Repeat for each player so there's a long string of additions—and if you forget something in the sequence, you're out! Play until there's one adult and one child left for that round.
Start a new round with the next question and everyone plays again!
- Last Thanksgiving, I ____________ (e.g. ate three pieces of pie)
- My favorite Thanksgiving food is ____________
- The Macy's Thanksgiving parade has a ___________ balloon
- On Thanksgiving weekend, I like to ______________
- On the first Thanksgiving, the Pilgrims ______________
- Next Thanksgiving, I sure hope we ______________
Family Who, What?
In advance, ask each family member to bring an old, candid photo of themselves. Pass the photos around the table, and try to guess who the person is, where they are, and what they are doing. For a bit of tom-turkey-foolery, add one or two photos that have nothing to do with the family (find something online or borrow one from a neighbor). Watching people try to make the connection can be a lot of fun!
