One twist on the rules to this game is that if a player names a celebrity whose first and last name start with the same letter, the direction of play reverses. To play this game, the player who is "it" stands up and tells the group two things that are true and one thing that is a lie about themselves. The rest of the players then shout out the statement they think is the lie.
The first person to guess correctly wins that round and gets to be "it" next. While there's no real way to determine a "winner" when playing this game, it's always a fun way to get silly conversations going. Asking questions like "Would you rather have an extra arm or an extra leg? OK, at first glance you might think this game sounds juvenile — I get it. I remember having epic staring contests with my little sister growing up that ended in an argument about whether one of us really blinked or not.
But, with a large group of people, you can play staring contest in epic fashion and it's actually a lot of fun. Make a bracket basketball tournament-style and have different people complete round by round until a staring contest winner is crowned. During this game, each player takes a turn explaining why they're late, and the reason is the plot of a movie.
Whoever guesses the movie correctly gets to take the next turn. One example is "Sorry I'm late I went to Harvard to try to win back my ex-boyfriend. To make it easy for everyone, you can pick popular movies or movies from one specific category like kids movies or action films. But, for families full of movie buffs, it can be fun to try and outwit one another with what some people might call "useless" knowledge of obscure movies.
An old-fashioned game of telephone is sure to bring some laughs to your family's Thanksgiving Day. Everyone sits in a circle to play and tries to pass a message originating from the first player through the whole circle by whispering in the ear of the person sitting to their immediate right.
At the end of the circle, the last person announces what they heard out loud. The answers are typically a hilarious rendition of the original message that has been altered thanks to people's inability to hear whispers.
This is another one of those games that will transport you right back to your childhood, but in the best way possible. For Thanksgiving, you can play Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament-style and have family members match up against one another. Play best out of three turns in each round with the winner advancing on to the next round. The last person standing is the champion! To play this game, one player picks a famous person a celebrity, historical figure, politician, etc. Players then take turns asking yes or no questions about the person's identity.
After each question is asked, that player can make a guess. The first player to guess correctly wins. Similar to 20 questions, this game centers around the ability to only answer "yes" or "no" when another player asks a question about who you are. Questions can be about the famous person's appearance or why they're well-known, but must have a yes or no answer. Sitting in a circle, players take turns saying the name of a film that is connected in some way to the one the previous player named.
The connection can be through the same actor that is featured in both movies, movies that have the same director, or producer, etc. So you can have fun with the whole fam without someone crying over Monopoly.
If a player cannot think of a movie, that player is out. The last player left wins. Head over to this post to download your free printable Thanksgiving Mad Libs stories!
