Games for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite days of the year. Delicious food, great company, and a spirit of gratitude make this day very special. One of the best parts of Thanksgiving is that it is centered in family. Whether you celebrate this day with your own family or opt to have a friendsgiving, you share this day with loved ones. In my opinion, one crucial aspect of Thanksgiving is the family games. Group games are perfect for gatherings because they bring joy and unite everyone involved.

Family games are so wonderful because they can be done indoor or outdoor and don’t require a lot of time to set up. They can also be very inexpensive and sometimes only require paper. Below I have compiled 20 fabulous family games that are perfect for Thanksgiving. Just click on the link associated with each picture for additional set up instructions.
