There are many Thanksgiving special games which
people prefer to play on the Thanksgiving Day. These are not only easy
to play indoor and outdoor games but the players also derive ultimate
pleasure while playing them. Although 'Football' is played with very
much interest on the Thanksgiving Day but there are other games, which
are equally interesting and sometimes even more fun filled. So chose
some of such really interesting games to play with your family and kids
on this Thanksgiving Day. Here are some such Thanksgiving fun game for
you…
1. Twenty Questions
This is an old traditional game. One player (the first player) says he
is thinking of something related to Thanksgiving celebrations. Then the
other player tries to guess what it is by asking no more than twenty
questions to the first player. The first player gives answer only in
'yes', 'no', or 'I don't know'. The number of questions or the guesses
made by other player should not exceed twenty.
2. Make Cartoons
Give a plain paper and a drawing pencil to all the players. Ask them to
draw a cartoon of any of the players present there. This will be a great
fun wgame hen the players will come with funny cartoons of one another.
The sitting arrangement should be such that no one could peep into
others' drawing.
3. Tell a Name
First select a leader for this game. Everybody should sit facing the
leader. The leader points to one of the players and says either bird or
beast. Then the chosen player must come up with the name of an animal
that fits the category. Meanwhile to give time to the chosen player to
think the suitable name the leader counts to ten. No repeating of a name
should be there. If the player does not respond in time, he/she is out.
The game continues until only one player remains. The game would be a
fun, as you would find that after a few rounds it could be hard to think
of an animal that has not already been mentioned.
4. Odds or Evens
First of all collect some beans, pebbles, buttons, or marbles. Each
player starts out with the same number of any one or all of these items.
One player hides a few of his items in his hand. The other player must
guess if the number of hidden items is odd or even. If he guesses
correctly he would add those hidden items to his pile. The players take
turns hiding and guessing, until one player has all the beans. This game
is for two players.
5. Thanksgiving Dinner
All the players sit in a circle. The first player starts by saying, "At
my Thanksgiving dinner I ate turkey." The player sitting next to
him must repeat this and add another dish to his sentence like "At
my Thanksgiving dinner I ate turkey and bread stuffing." The third
player sitting just next to the second one should also repeat it and add
yet another dish to the sentence like "At my Thanksgiving dinner I
ate turkey, bread stuffing, and pumpkin pie." The game continues
with each player adding a new dish to the menu after first listing all
the previous items in the exact order they were first said. If a player
makes a mistake he drops out and the player sitting next to him has to
repeat the sentence and add a new dish to it. The game continues until
there is just one mnemonic expert left.
6. Find the Turkey
One player is the hunter and the others are helpers. The hunter leaves
the room. The helpers hide a small toy turkey somewhere within the room.
After hiding the turkey they call the hunter back to the room. The
hunter returns and starts to search for the turkey. The helpers gobble
to give the hunter a hint about the hiding place of the turkey. If the
hunter is not close to the turkey, the helpers gobble very quietly. As
the hunter gets closer to the turkey, the helpers gobble more and more
loudly until the hunter succeeds in searching the turkey.
7. Find the Difference
Take two pictures that appear to be exactly same but there are certain
minor differences in those pictures. You can find such pictures in any
magazine for children. Then ask others if they can spot the differences
in these two pictures. Set a time limit of five minutes for the players
to spot the differences.
8. Personal Thanksgiving Story
Have fun on the Thanksgiving Day with your friends and family in a
different way by personalizing the Thanksgiving story. Ask all the
players to sit in a circle. Then ask each of them to tell a personal
story or event when they thanked the God for his blessings. The player
who has told the most interesting story should be awarded with a prize.
