Thanksgiving parties are synonymous with fun games. And it is the games that
people of all age groups can enjoy together that are real fun to organize. Such
activities also present a nice opportunity to interact with other guests invited
to the party. Thanksgiving games can be played in the schools, with the family
and other groups. Below listed are some of the most interesting games for
Thanksgiving. These games will not only keep the kids and other guests busy, but
also make for some memorable fun in your party.
Fun Thanksgiving Day Games
Bird, Beast Or Fish
‘Bird, beast or fish’ is a great fun game for Thanksgiving, but you will have to
think real fast to play this game. The players have to sit facing the leader and
the leader will point to one of the players and say, ‘bird, beast or fish’. The
player chosen by the leader will have to come up with a name that fits into the
given categories before the leader completes a count to ten. The player is out
if he/she fails to respond within time. After a few rounds, it will become
difficult to come up with names and the game will continue till only one player
is left. The game is more suited for children, but can be improvised to suit
adults as well.
Pilgrims On A Turkey Hunt
A very interesting Thanksgiving game, ‘Pilgrims on a Turkey Hunt’ can bring
together adult and young players to double the thrill. Some adults can act as
pilgrims on a turkey hunt and children can become the turkeys. The leader has to
count till ten, giving the turkeys sometime to hide and let the hunt start. The
turkeys can gobble to help the pilgrims to locate them. The game can be played
many times, by changing the hunters.
Cornucopia Thanksgiving Game
Give a Thanksgiving name to everyone in the play group, such as Apple, Turkey,
Potato, Cranberry, Corn, Pie, etc. Arrange one chair for each participant and
allow the leader to call out two names, such as 'Apple' and 'Corn' and the
participants whose names have been called out have to immediately switch over
their seats. Any delay on their part to do so would result in both the
participants losing their seats in the game. The leader may also call out
'cornucopia' suddenly and everyone including the leader will have to change
seats. The participant to sit last is out of the game.
Thanksgiving Trivia
Write down several questions on a big sheet of paper, related to the history of
Thanksgiving Day or some of the facts associated with it. At the same time, list
four probable answers. Only one answer out of the four would be correct. For
instance, one question to be asked can be: From the following foods, which one
was not likely to be at the pilgrims table? a) Corn b) Potatoes c) Yams d)
Beans. The right answer is Potatoes. Whosoever gets the maximum answers right is
the winner of the Thanksgiving Trivia game.
