What are some games that my family and I could play together at Thanksgiving?
There will be a mixture of adults, teenagers and children. We usually play Rook, go to the movies as a group after dinner. I have 3 tours of our historic city lined up. But what else? I WILL choose a Best Answer in 24 hours. Think of something innovative. My family likes to play games!
Physical Activity:
The Turkey Bowl
Thanksgiving afternoons often involve a football game, so why not make football the theme of your party? Invite guests to come dressed for football. They can choose to be players, fans or cheerleaders. Decorate the table with football placemats or turn a helmet into a centerpiece. Use a football mold to shape stuffing and jell-o.
After dinner, let the games begin! Play touch football outside and have the spectators cheer on the teams. Hand out whistles and pom-poms to liven up the game.
or a Not So Physical Activity:
Everyone’s a Photographer
Hand out single-use cameras to the guests. Have them take pictures of the activities during the day. Afterwards, you can create a scrapbook or album using the various pictures.
For extra fun, include instructions with the cameras. Ask guests to build a pyramid, compete in a beauty contest by taking pictures, or come up with Thanksgiving-themed pictures. This way, you will have many laughs when the pictures are developed!
Happy Thanksgiving!

the game Apples to Apples. you can play with a wide age range, and you can buy different sets (childrens, adults). Its a word association game. There is a green card which is an adjective, and then multiple red cards, the nouns (people, places, things, events). One player, the judge for that round, picks a green card, and the rest of the players choose one of their seven red cards according to what they think the judge would choose. its a very fun game. we almost always play it when company comes.

dunno how young the children, but the dictionary game is fun.
One person finds a word in he dictionary that no one knows.
They write it’s definition, and each person writes a made-up definition.
The looker-upper reads each definition, and people try to pick the real one.
If you do, you get a point. If someone picks your definition, you get a point.
As I say, I don’t know if the young’uns are too young for this.
You could play blackjack, but for chips or some other token object, no money.
