This post is all about the best Thanksgiving games to try.

Family Friendly Thanksgiving Games

1. Poke A Feather

This would work for both adults and kids. Basically, everyone will take turns "poking" one of the turkey feathers. You can either put a prize in there or a prompt for the person to do.

You could even make multiple and customize the prompts/ prizes for whatever age group will be playing!

2. Do You Really Know Your Family?

This would be SUCH a fun game to play at a family Thanksgiving. It has such good conversation prompts that are family friendly, so both adults and kids could play!

3. Stuff The Turkey

To recreate this game, you make a paper turkey that is hollow in the middle with a hole at the top. Then, you make some little paper balls. Players will take turns trying to land the balls in the turkey!

4. Flicken Chicken

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.

5. Thanksgiving Bingo

Thanksgiving bingo is another option that would be perfect for a family Thanksgiving gathering! It's something that everyone could play and enjoy. You could even do prizes for the winners!

6. Never Have I Ever Family Edition

Never have I ever is a fun game to play in general, and they have a family version! This would be really fun to play with everyone at Thanksgiving.

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

Sale

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!

23. Throw Throw Burrito

Sale

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

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

Sale

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!
