How to Play

Here are detailed instructions on how to play each Thanksgiving office game:

1. Thanksgiving Trivia

• How to Play: Create a list of Thanksgiving-related questions (e.g., history, traditions, food). Divide employees into teams or play individually. Ask the questions, and award points for correct answers. The team with the most points at the end wins.
• Example Question: “What year was the first Thanksgiving?”

2. Turkey Bowling

• How to Play: Set up a bowling alley using mini pumpkins (as balls) and empty cans or bottles decorated as turkeys. Players take turns rolling the “turkey” to knock down the cans. The person who knocks down the most wins.
• Tip: Set up a score sheet to track the number of pins knocked down.

3. Pumpkin Pie Eating Contest

• How to Play: Each participant gets a slice of pumpkin pie. Set a timer for 2-3 minutes, and the first person to finish their pie without using their hands wins.
• Variation: Add whipped cream for a messy and fun challenge!

4. Turkey Feather Toss

• How to Play: Use a turkey picture and attach small feather cutouts made from paper or foam. Players take turns tossing beanbags or small balls to land on the feathers, trying to hit specific targets (like numbers or colors for points).
• Variation: Make it competitive by adding time limits.

5. Thanksgiving Bingo

• How to Play: Create Bingo cards with Thanksgiving-related items (turkeys, pumpkins, pies, etc.) instead of numbers. As the caller announces items, players mark them off on their cards. The first to get a row (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) shouts “Bingo!” and wins.
• Variation: Customize with fun Thanksgiving phrases or office-related tasks.

6. Pin the Tail on the Turkey

• How to Play: Blindfold a player and spin them lightly. Then, have them try to pin a paper “tail” onto a turkey poster. The person who gets the tail closest to the correct spot wins.
• Tip: Use double-sided tape for the “tail” to make it stick easily.

7. Thanksgiving Word Search

• How to Play: Provide word search puzzles with Thanksgiving-related words. Players race to complete their word search in the shortest amount of time. The first to finish wins.
• Tip: Have a prize for completing the word search.

8. Gratitude Scavenger Hunt

• How to Play: Hide items related to Thanksgiving (e.g., mini pumpkins, turkey figurines, fall leaves) around the office. Create a list of clues or items to find. The person or team who finds the most items in the shortest time wins.
• Variation: Include challenges, such as taking a photo with the item found.

9. Thanksgiving Pictionary

• How to Play: Write Thanksgiving-related words or phrases on slips of paper (e.g., “pumpkin pie,” “fall harvest”). Players take turns drawing a word or phrase while their team guesses. Set a time limit for each round.
• Variation: Use whiteboards for easy drawing and erasing.

10. Thanksgiving Charades

• How to Play: Write Thanksgiving-related actions or items on pieces of paper (e.g., “carving the turkey,” “baking pumpkin pie”). Players act out the word or phrase without speaking while their team guesses. Set a timer for each round.
• Tip: Choose team captains who will keep the game moving and track scores.

11. Cranberry Relay Race

• How to Play: Players line up and are given a spoon and a bowl of cranberries (or any small objects). They must carry the cranberries on the spoon to the next person in line without dropping them. The team that finishes the relay first wins.
• Variation: Add obstacles or make players carry the spoon in unusual ways (e.g., under their chin).

12. Cornucopia Guessing Game

• How to Play: Fill a cornucopia basket with various small Thanksgiving items (like mini pumpkins, apples, leaves, etc.). Players take turns guessing how many items are in the basket. The person with the closest guess wins.
• Variation: Blindfold the players and let them feel the items to make their guess.

13. Turkey Costume Contest

• How to Play: Have participants dress up in turkey-themed costumes (or creative outfits related to Thanksgiving). Set up a panel of judges or have employees vote for the most creative, funny, or unique costume.
• Tip: Offer prizes for categories like “Most Creative” or “Funniest.”

14. Guess the Thanksgiving Dish

• How to Play: Blindfold participants and have them taste different Thanksgiving dishes (e.g., mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing). They must guess what dish they are tasting. The person with the most correct answers wins.
• Tip: Make sure to offer mild dishes for people with allergies.

15. Thanksgiving Bingo (Office Tasks)

• How to Play: Create Bingo cards that have office-related challenges (e.g., “Send a thank-you email,” “Tell a coworker you’re grateful”). As employees complete tasks, they mark off squares. The first to get a Bingo wins.
• Tip: Tailor the tasks to be relevant to your office environment.

16. Pumpkin Decorating Contest

• How to Play: Provide participants with mini pumpkins and decorating supplies (markers, glitter, stickers, etc.). Set a time limit for decorating. At the end, everyone votes for their favorite pumpkin.
• Variation: Give a theme, like “Most Creative” or “Funniest Pumpkin.”

17. Thanksgiving Feud (like Family Feud)

• How to Play: Play a game similar to “Family Feud” with Thanksgiving-themed questions. Divide into teams and have them guess the most popular answers to questions like “What’s the most popular Thanksgiving food?” Teams earn points for each correct answer.
• Tip: Use a buzzer system for added fun.

18. Turkey Trivia Race

• How to Play: Ask participants Thanksgiving-related trivia questions. The person who answers correctly first gets a point. The person with the most points at the end wins.
• Tip: Make the questions progressively harder.

19. Guess the Number of Candy Corn

• How to Play: Fill a jar with candy corn or any small items. Players must guess how many pieces are in the jar. The closest guess wins the jar or a prize.
• Variation: Have a few jars with different candy counts for more opportunities to win.

20. Holiday Name That Tune

• How to Play: Play snippets of Thanksgiving or fall-themed songs, and participants must guess the song title. The person who guesses the most songs correctly wins.
• Tip: Include well-known classics like “Over the River and Through the Woods.”

21. Turkey Tail Pinning

• How to Play: Create a turkey poster with a blank tail area. Blindfold participants, spin them lightly, and have them try to pin or tape a paper tail onto the turkey. The closest one wins.
• Variation: Have multiple rounds with different participants.

22. Pass the Cranberry

• How to Play: Players must pass a cranberry (or small object) down the line using only spoons. The team that passes it fastest without dropping the cranberry wins.
• Variation: Use a different object for a more challenging game.

23. Pumpkin Toss

• How to Play: Set up baskets or containers at varying distances. Players must toss mini pumpkins or small balls into the baskets. The player who lands the most “pumpkins” in baskets wins.
• Tip: Adjust the distance to suit the skill level of participants.

24. Grateful Moments

• How to Play: Gather everyone and have each participant share something they are grateful for. To make it more fun, do it in a circle, and everyone has to repeat what the previous person said before sharing their own.
• Variation: Write down everyone’s grateful moments on a board for everyone to see.

25. Thanksgiving Mad Libs

• How to Play: Provide a Thanksgiving-themed Mad Libs worksheet. Players fill in the blanks with random words (nouns, adjectives, etc.), and then read the hilarious results aloud.
• Tip: Offer small prizes for the funniest or most creative Mad Lib.

26. Thanksgiving Song Lip Sync Battle

• How to Play: Participants choose a Thanksgiving or fall song and perform a lip sync performance. The crowd votes on the best performance.
• Variation: Make it a group performance for more fun.

27. Thanksgiving Bingo (with office challenges)

• How to Play: Customize Bingo cards with Thanksgiving tasks related to the office (e.g., “Write a thank-you note,” “Share a Thanksgiving memory”). As employees complete tasks, they mark them off on their card.
• Variation: Offer small prizes for completed tasks.

28. Office Thanksgiving Photo Booth

• How to Play: Set up a photo booth with Thanksgiving props (e.g., turkey hats, pilgrim hats, pumpkin signs). Employees can take fun holiday photos. Share the best photos in a group or with a prize for the funniest.
• Tip: Create a hashtag to share the photos on social media.

29. Stuff the Turkey

• How to Play: Provide teams with a variety of marshmallows or small soft objects. The goal is to “stuff” as many objects into a large turkey (could be a big cardboard cut-out with a hole). The team that stuffs the most in a set time wins.
• Variation: Use multiple turkeys to increase the challenge.

30. Turkey Waddle Race

• How to Play: Players must “waddle” like a turkey from one side of the office to the other. To make it challenging, give them a balloon between their knees or other objects they must balance.
• Variation: Time the participants to see who completes the race the fastest.

These games can be easily adapted to your office environment, bringing fun and camaraderie to your Thanksgiving celebration!
