Have everyone at the dinner table pull a colored stick as they sit down for dinner and let the fun unfold! This is a great way to get people really thinking of all the things they must be thankful for. Hopefully, your family and friends get a kick out of hearing the gratitude being passed around the table! This is one of those thanksgiving activities that can leave your guests feeling great!

2. Thanksgiving Photo Scavenger Hunt

Everyone has a smart phone these days! How about a way to bridge the gap between phone time and family time? I’m talking about a family photo scavenger hunt! Have your family share the photos on social media with a personalized hashtag (eg: #smiththanksgiving2020, #jonesfamilyturkeys etc.) This is one of the thanksgiving activities that really create memories! As a bonus, they will forever be captured as your guests complete the hunt! So fun!

3. “Who’s the baby?” – one of unusual thanksgiving activities

Have a look through your old photo albums and ask your guests to send you photos of them as babies the week before thanksgiving. Secondly, arrange the photos on a board with corresponding numbers and have guests write their guesses down. You will have quite a few laughs as your guests try and find each other!

Having a few different activities lined up for all ages is a great way to ensure everyone has a great time and stays engaged. The holidays are made for creating memories and these games make it easy for that to happen. Play on!
