Thanksgiving Charades
The deck is already set to Thanksgiving: turkey, pie, parade, leftovers and the kids’ table. Draw a card, start the timer and play between dinner and dessert.

Why Thanksgiving charades works
Everyone has been at the table: carving the turkey, hunting for the last pie slice, falling asleep during the game. The cards use those scenes, so the cousin who is shy about acting can still guess.
Easy, medium and hard
Easy cards are single words such as turkey and gravy. Medium cards are actions such as raking leaves. Hard cards are situations such as fighting over leftovers. Mixed ages? Pick Easy for the kids’ team and Hard for the adults.
Print a set for the table
Cut-out cards take a few minutes to print and fold. Choose 12 per page for small cards, or 8 per page for big print. Twenty-four cards are free on every PDF.
After dinner
Try a short Friendsgiving game list, or switch to the Christmas deck the following month.
