The reviews on this game say it's really fun and family friendly. You toss the chickens and try to land them on a target. Apparently it's really funny and fun because of how the chickens bounce around.

7. Turkey Baster Ping Pong Race
This game is apt for Thanksgiving. Basically, everyone takes turns using the turkey baster to puff air to get the ping pong ball to the finish line within 60 seconds.
8. Pumpkin Tic Tac Toe
This would be super easy to put together, and would be great for keeping little ones entertained (I personally am an adult woman who would also be entertained with this lol).
9. Stuff The Turkey Toss
This is another Thanksgiving game sure to keep little ones (and select adults) entertained. You make a turkey out of a cardboard box, and you "stuff the turkey" using fall colored pom poms!
10. Turkey Ring Toss
My family would definitely get a kick out of this game, and we're all adults now lol. I'm sure kids would find this HILARIOUS.
11. Thanksgiving Word Hunt
This giant Thanksgiving-themed word search would be great to hang up somewhere in the house to keep people passively entertained while food is cooking.
12. First To Worst
This card game sounds super interesting! Basically, one player secretly ranks 5 things, and the rest of the group works together to try to figure out the exact order. It's allegedly fun for all age groups to play together!
13. Herd Mentality
Herd mentality sounds SUPER fun for Thanksgiving. Here's the description: "Think the same to win the game. Flip over a question and guess what your family and friends are thinking. If your answer is in the majority, you win cows. If you’re the odd one out, you’re stuck with the pink cow of doom."
I could see this game being hilarious.
14. Turkey Dart Board
This is another game that would be fun to set up out of the way (that way no stray balls make it into the kitchen) for people to play while they wait!
15. Pumpkin Bowling
If you have any kind of open space in your backyard or front yard, this would be super fun to set up for people to play!
Friendsgiving Games/ Thanksgiving Games For Adults
16. Cards Against Humanity
This is SUCH a fun game to play with your friends. My friends and I had a game night last week and we played this and had so much fun. It's be perfect for friendsgiving.
17. Secret Hitler
Secret hitler is another super fun game to play with friends. Some other games that are super similar are mafia and one night ultimate werewolf.
18. Jackbox
Jackbox is another favorite of me & my friends. There are so many different fun game modes you can play!
19. The Voting Game
I've never played this game, but I've heard really good things. You can anonymously vote on "who's the most likely to..."? It would be so much fun to play with friends!

20. Never Have I Ever
There are several different additions of this game that would be really fun to play with friends. You could play the classic edition, drinking edition, girls edition, etc.
21. Exploding Kittens
I went on a little vacation with some friends last year, and one of them had this game. It was SO much fun to play together! Basically, you do everything you can to avoid getting an exploding kitten card, which eliminates you from the game. There is a lot of sabotaging your friends in this one, and a lot of suspense. It'd be really fun for a friendsgiving activity.
22. Dutch Blitz
This is another game I've played with a group of friends. It is fast-paced, fun, and INTENSE. I've played this so many times and I think I've only ever won one round, which of course makes me want to play even more!

I haven't personally played this game before, but someone in a reddit thread recommended it for a fun friendsgiving game. It's by the same people who made exploding kittens, so I know it must be good! It sounds really fun.
24. Candle Blow Game
Play This Friendsgiving Game:
I've seen people playing this game on tiktok, and it looks hilarious. Basically, everyone takes turns seeing how many candles in the row they can blow out with one breath. Whoever blows out the most wins and gets some kind of prize!
25. Friendsgiving
This game has insanely good reviews saying it is hilarious. It's a fill-in-the-blank & guess who wrote it game, and it's specifically for friendsgiving, but is family friendly as well!
