35 Thanksgiving Games Kids and Adults Can Play Together

Every Thanksgiving at my aunt’s house followed the same script. The kids ran laps around the couch, the grown-ups hovered in the kitchen, and Grandpa was asleep before the pie came out. Everyone was in the same house, but nobody was actually together.

The fix wasn’t a fancier menu. It was a few simple games: one for when people walk in, one at the table, and one to wake everybody up once the turkey coma hits.

These 35 Thanksgiving games work for a 5-year-old and an 85-year-old at the same time. You’ll get a quick-pick table, mixed-age hosting tips, and a simple schedule for before, during, and after dinner. Thanksgiving falls on November 26 this year, so you’ve got five weeks to plan.

Short answer: Pick four games, one for each part of the day. Start with Thanksgiving Bingo while guests arrive. Play Tabletop Pictionary at the dinner table, then get everyone moving with Turkey Bowling after the meal. Finish with Thanksgiving Family Awards before people pack up their leftovers. That’s about 90 minutes of play, and most of it costs under $15.

Mixed-Age Hosting Tips

A game that works for a 6-year-old and her great-grandma takes a little planning. Here’s what I’ve learned from a lot of Thanksgivings, some of them loud and a few of them disasters.

Pair younger kids with adults. Teams of one kid and one grown-up fix almost every problem. The adult reads the clue and the kid runs, or the kid draws and Grandma guesses. Nobody gets left behind, and the cousins who only see each other once a year end up actually talking.

Skip elimination. “You’re out” is the fastest way to get a crying 5-year-old and a sulking uncle. Give points instead, or let players swap roles. If a game normally knocks people out, change the rule so they do something silly and stay in.

Keep rounds short. Five to 10 minutes per game is plenty. Little kids lose focus, older guests get tired, and dinner timing changes about six times on Thanksgiving Day anyway. End while people still want more.

Prep supplies before anyone shows up. Put each game’s supplies in its own zip-top bag the night before, and label them. Set out a bowl of fall snack mix next to the game table so nobody raids the kitchen while the turkey rests.

Offer a quiet option. Not everyone wants to bowl in the hallway. Set up a seated game in another corner, like a word scramble or a coloring sheet. The introverts, the toddlers, and the guy with the bad knee will all thank you.

Arrival and Warm-Up Games

These are for the hour when guests trickle in, the oven timer’s beeping, and nobody’s sure where to stand. Set them out before the doorbell rings, and people will start playing without being asked.

1. Thanksgiving Bingo

Bingo is the easiest arrival game there is. Guests grab a card, sit wherever, and play along while they chat.

• Supplies: Bingo cards, a bowl of candy corn for markers, and a few small prizes
• Setup: Fill 5-by-5 cards with Thanksgiving words, like pie, gravy, pilgrim, leaves, parade, and stuffing. Or use party moments, like “someone asks when dinner’s ready” and “the dog begs for turkey.”
• How to play: The host calls words from a bowl every few minutes. Players cover each square with a candy corn.
• How to win: The first player with 5 in a row yells “Gobble!” and picks a prize.
• Best adaptation: Use picture cards for little kids. Swap the candy corn for pennies or paper squares for anyone under 4, since it’s a choking hazard. Our Thanksgiving printables have more card ideas you can print at home.

2. Gratitude Conversation Cards

A jar of questions on the coffee table gets people talking before the meal. It’s especially good for guests who only see each other once a year.

• Supplies: A mason jar and 30 slips of paper
• Setup: Write one question per slip, like:
  • “What’s a small thing that made your year better?”
  • “Who taught you something important?”
  • “What Thanksgiving dish would you save in a fire?”
• How to play: Guests pull a slip, answer it, and pass the jar along.
• How to win: No winner. The best answers usually turn into stories at dinner.
• Best adaptation: Add a few silly questions for kids, like “What would a turkey say if it could talk?”

3. Turkey Name-Tag Match

Every guest gets a name tag with half of a Thanksgiving food on it. Then they mingle to find their other half.

• Supplies: Name tags (about $3 for a pack of 100 at Walmart) and a marker
• Setup: Write food pairs across two tags, like “Pumpkin” and “Pie,” “Mashed” and “Potatoes,” “Cranberry” and “Sauce,” and “Sweet” and “Corn.”
• How to play: Stick a tag on each guest as they arrive. They have to find their match by asking around.
• How to win: Matched pairs become teams for the rest of the day’s games.
• Best adaptation: Pair kids with grown-ups on purpose. It’s the easiest way to build mixed-age teams without anyone noticing.

4. Thanksgiving Would You Rather

Read a question, and guests walk to one side of the room or the other. It’s quick, silly, and needs zero supplies.

• Supplies: A list of questions
• Setup: Mark one side of the room A and the other side B.
• How to play: Ask questions like:
  • “Would you rather eat only pie or only stuffing for a week?”
  • “Would you rather do all the dishes or carve the turkey?”
  • “Would you rather be a turkey in the parade or a balloon in the parade?”
• How to win: No winner. Ask one person from each side to defend their pick.
• Best adaptation: Older guests can raise a hand from their chair instead of walking.

5. Thanksgiving Trivia

A short trivia sheet keeps guests busy while the turkey rests. Everyone learns something, even Uncle Rick, who thinks he knows everything.

• Supplies: A printed quiz and pens
• Setup: Write 10 to 15 questions. A few to start with:
  • What year was the first harvest feast at Plymouth? (1621)
  • Which president made Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863? (Abraham Lincoln)
  • What year was the first Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade? (1924)
  • Which writer pushed for a national Thanksgiving for 17 years, and also wrote “Mary Had a Little Lamb”? (Sarah Josepha Hale)
• How to play: Guests fill out the sheet as they arrive. Read the answers before dinner.
• How to win: Most right answers gets first pick of the pies.
• Best adaptation: Kids can team up with a grown-up, or answer an easier picture version.

6. Guess the Guest

Collect one fun fact from every guest ahead of time. Then everyone guesses who it belongs to.

• Supplies: A list of facts, paper, and pens
• Setup: A week before, text each guest and ask for one thing most people don’t know about them. Number the facts on a sheet.
• How to play: Guests write a name next to each fact.
• How to win: The most right guesses wins.
• Best adaptation: Use baby photos instead of facts for a big family. It works great when two sides of the family are meeting for the first time.

7. Candy-Corn Guessing Jar

Fill a jar with candy corn, and everyone guesses how many are inside. It takes 2 minutes to set up.

• Supplies: A mason jar, a bag of candy corn (about $3), and slips of paper
• Setup: Count the candy corn as you fill the jar, and write the number on a hidden card.
• How to play: Guests write a guess and their name on a slip and drop it in a bowl.
• How to win: The closest guess takes home the jar.
• Best adaptation: Little kids can guess too, but the prize goes home with a grown-up. Candy corn is a choking hazard for kids under 4.

8. Thanksgiving Find Someone Who

Guests get a checklist of facts and hunt for someone who fits each one. It’s a great icebreaker for big groups.

• Supplies: A printed checklist and pens
• Setup: List 12 to 16 prompts, like “Find someone who was born in November,” “can name every pie on the table,” “has eaten turkey for breakfast,” or “has been to Plymouth.”
• How to play: Guests mingle and get a different person to sign each line.
• How to win: The first player with every line signed wins.
• Best adaptation: Kids can use picture prompts, like “Find someone wearing orange.”

Quiet and Table Games

These games are made for the dinner table, while everyone’s still passing the rolls, or once the plates are cleared and nobody can move. For a whole lineup you can play without leaving your chair, see our seated table games.

9. Tabletop Pictionary

Cover the table with brown kraft paper and set out a cup of crayons. Then everyone gets a turn drawing right at their seat.

• Supplies: A roll of kraft paper (about $10 at Target), crayons, and word slips in a bowl
• Setup: Tape the paper over the table like a tablecloth. Write words like gravy boat, parade balloon, wishbone, and turkey nap on the slips.
• How to play: One player draws a slip and sketches it on the tablecloth in front of their plate. The players on either side have 60 seconds to guess.
• How to win: The drawer and the guesser each get a point for a right guess. Then the turn moves to the left.
• Best adaptation: Little kids can draw simple words, like pie or leaf. Keep the tablecloth at the end, because it’s the best souvenir of the day.

10. Thanksgiving Emoji Pictionary

Guests decode short strings of emojis that spell out Thanksgiving words. It’s quiet, it’s sneaky-hard, and teens love it.

• Supplies: A printed puzzle sheet and pens
• Setup: Make 15 to 20 puzzles. A few to start with:
  • [corn] + [bread] = Cornbread
  • [leaf] + [pile] = Leaf pile

• Best adaptation: Give younger kids short words (pie, yam, corn) and a word bank at the bottom.

12. Thanksgiving Category Race

Pick a letter, then race to name something in each category that starts with it.

• Setup: Write 8 categories, like “a side dish,” “something orange,” “a parade balloon,” “something you’re thankful for,” and “a fall sport.”
• How to play: Call out a letter (C works great), then start a 2-minute timer.
• How to win: 1 point for every answer nobody else wrote. So “corn” probably won’t score, but “cranberry relish” might.
• Best adaptation: Kids can play with 4 categories and an easy letter, like P.

13. Roll-a-Turkey

Roll a die, and draw the turkey part that matches your number. The first finished turkey wins.

• Supplies: A bowl of word slips, like gravy, parade, nap, cranberry, and runaway turkey
• Setup: The host starts with a first line, like “This year, the turkey had other plans.”
• How to play: Each guest draws a word and adds one sentence to the story that uses it. Then pass the bowl left.
• How to win: No winner. The table votes on the best sentence at the end.
• Best adaptation: Little kids can say a word or two instead of a full sentence, and a grown-up helps work it in.

16. Left-Right Thanksgiving Story

The host reads a short story full of the words “left” and “right,” and a wrapped prize moves around the table each time.

• Supplies: A small wrapped prize and a story with lots of “left” and “right” in it
• Setup: Write a short story, or find one online. A sample line: “Aunt Sue LEFT the pie on the counter, RIGHT where the dog could reach it.”

• Best adaptation: Toddlers can carry the balloon in their arms. Check for latex allergies, and pick up popped pieces, since they’re a choking hazard for kids under 8.

18. Feather Relay

Teams pass a feather down the line using only paper plates. Feathers float, so this gets chaotic fast.

• Supplies: A craft feather and a paper plate for each player
• Setup: Teams stand in a line, each player holding a plate.
• How to play: Pass the feather from plate to plate without touching it. If it falls, it goes back to the start.

• Supplies: A big sweatshirt per team and a bag of blown-up balloons
• Setup: Pile the balloons in the middle of the room. The “turkey” puts on the sweatshirt.

A Simple Schedule for Your Thanksgiving Games

Most families eat around 3 or 4 p.m., so here’s a flow built around a 3:30 dinner. Slide it earlier or later to fit your day.

• Before dinner (2:00 to 3:15 p.m.): Light icebreakers while guests arrive. Set out bingo cards, the candy-corn guessing jar, and the conversation jar, then let people play at their own pace.
• At the table (3:30 to 4:30 p.m.): Quiet conversation, word, and printable games, like Tabletop Pictionary, Roll-a-Turkey, or the word scramble while everyone waits for seconds.
• After dinner (4:45 to 5:45 p.m.): Active team games to beat the turkey coma, like the Turkey Waddle, Turkey Bowling, or the scavenger hunt.
• Before guests leave (6:00 p.m.): Gratitude and family-memory games, like Gratitude Dice, the Thankful Jar, or the Family Awards.

Football fans in the family? Schedule the active games during halftime. That’s 15 to 20 minutes where everyone’s happy to get up.
