Hosting a Friendsgiving is about gathering loved ones around a table filled with food, laughter, and great conversation. While the meal is the centerpiece, games add an extra layer of fun, helping everyone to relax, bond, and keep the evening lively.
Whether you’re hosting a crowd or a few friends, these game ideas will keep everyone entertained, and a few setup tips will help ensure that the evening flows smoothly.
Before the big day, make space for games by setting up a cozy corner with extra seating or simply clearing a dining room table. With these games, you’ll have a Friendsgiving everyone remembers.
Gratitude Charades
Add a Friendsgiving twist to classic charades by making each word or phrase something related to Thanksgiving or gratitude. Write down ideas like “turkey trot,” “falling leaves,” or “Friendsgiving toast,” and have players act them out without speaking. This customizable game is perfect for breaking the ice and reminding everyone of the season’s reason.
Who’s Most Likely To…Friendsgiving Edition
This fun game will have everyone laughing and learning more about each other. Make it Friendsgiving-specific by writing prompts like “Most likely to bring the best dish,” “Most likely to go for seconds,” or “Most likely to host next year.” Each guest takes turns answering, and it’s bound to spark some funny stories.
Friendsgiving Bingo
Create a Friendsgiving Bingo card with squares featuring things that might happen during the evening, such as “someone spills a drink,” “a toast is made,” or “someone shares an embarrassing story.” Guests mark off squares as events happen, and the first to get five in a row wins a small prize. This game is easy to customize and keeps guests engaged all evening.
Thanksgiving Trivia
Make a simple trivia game about Thanksgiving history, popular dishes, or Friendsgiving traditions. You can divide guests into teams or play individually. To keep it fun and relevant, add pop culture references or ask personal questions like “Who has the most creative recipe?” A winner can be crowned with a fun Friendsgiving trophy!
Dessert Decorating Contest
Turn dessert into a fun competition by setting up a small station with cookies, frosting, and toppings. Let everyone decorate a cookie or slice of pie, then have a vote for the most creative or best-decorated treat. This customizable game lets guests unleash their creativity while adding a sweet finale to the evening.
