Thanksgiving Games for the Table, the Kids and the Long Afternoon
Something to do between the turkey and the pie — with everyone, from one phone. All 27 games are free to play, with no sign-up needed.
Thanksgiving is a long afternoon with a lot of people and one table. These games are chosen for exactly that: things to play while dinner cooks, at the table between courses, and on the sofa afterwards — Thanksgiving trivia, would you rather, gratitude prompts, family question decks and games that get the kids out from under the cook’s feet.
Nothing needs printing or props; the phone passes around the table or sits under the TV.
🦃Made for Thanksgiving
Trivia and dilemmas about the day itself, plus gratitude prompts.
🍽️Games at the table
Talk-and-laugh games that pass the phone between courses.
🧒Thanksgiving games for kids
Out of the kitchen: hunts, dancing and drawing.
🛋️After dinner
Sofa games while the dishes soak.
Gratitude round, without the awkward silence
Open Thanksgiving Would You Rather and scroll to the twenty gratitude prompts on its page — “something small that made you smile this week”, “a person who helped you this year”. Hand the phone around and each person answers one. It is easier than “what are you thankful for” and gets better answers.
A quiz between the turkey and the pie
Thanksgiving Trivia deals ten questions a round: the first Thanksgiving, Lincoln and the fourth Thursday, the Macy’s parade, turkey facts. Split the table in two and let the kids read the questions.
Keeping the kids busy while dinner cooks
The Scavenger Hunt on the Home setting sends them looking for things around the house with a countdown; Freeze Dance and Simon Says burn the energy off; Kids Pictionary keeps the quiet ones drawing at the kitchen table.
