Thanksgiving charades

Every year we invite some friends over for a pre-Thanksgiving get-together to share food with us and give thanks. It is a very nice and welcoming day and it is always nice to see everyone.

Every hostess knows how important is to keep your guests occupied. Last year we tried to play just one game, charades and it turned out great! We had so much fun.

So if you are looking for some ideas for this Thanksgiving, try charades. The idea of the game is traditional but the tasks are Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving dinner related and this is what makes it fun. You can think of team prizes if you want, it will make it even better!

Here is how to play:

There are 2 teams of players. There are 4 cards for each team.

The game master shows a card to one team of one team.

This person will give clues to his/ her team to try to get them to guess what the answer is. The person explaining can only use the signs and body language.

Each team will have 3 minutes to guess.

Here is the ideas of the flash cards/ mini tasks for charades. Add your own if you want and have fun!:
