Looking for a fun game for everyone to play together? Check out THE BEST. It is a fun Thanksgiving game that you can play with the whole family. It is also a fun way to get to know your family members better too!
THANKSGIVING GAME
The Holiday’s are here, and over the next few weeks we will be spending a lot of time with family and friends.
“The BEST” THANKSGIVING GAME
The MATERIALS will depend on what you want to do with your family and friends. You can also play with no materials at all. Keep reading and you will understand what I mean.
How to Play
Choose a Host. If your family or group is large, arrange everyone into small groups (3-4 people). If you are smaller, then everyone can play as their own team. If you are playing with lots of people the rule stands that everyone has to participate in at least one round.
The Rules
The Host is in charge of announcing the contest category for the group. (For example: “The Tallest”, or “The Fastest”)
Once the category has been announced, each group will select one person who they think can win the category. Be sure you don’t announce the contest until after each group has chosen their player for that round.
There will then be a contest in that category. If a person has “THE BEST” within the category, his or her team gets a point.
*if you are playing as individuals, everyone will compete in each category and the winner will get a point.*
Let’s run through a practice round…
Everyone playing that round would come together to see who had the tallest thumb. That person would then get a point.
Here are some category and contest examples. Use these, and add your own.
-The Tallest….THUMB
-The Fastest….CRAB WALKER
-The Highest….JUMPER
-The Longest….STARE IN A STARING CONTEST
-The Fastest….ALPHABET SONG SINGER
-The Quickest….TO BALANCE 5 DICE ON THE END OF A TOUGUE DEPRESSOR HELD IN YOUR MOUTH.
-The Farthest….MAKE A PAPER AIRPLANE AND SEE WHO’S FLIES THE FARTHEST.
-The Shortest….SHOE SIZE
-The Biggest….WHO CAN BLOW THE BIGGEST BUBBLE.
As you can see, the possibilites are endless. You can make them as complicated or basic as you would like. You can also have your kids or guests help put together a list while you make Turkey dinner. You will find your family/group, laughing out loud.
What are you “The BEST” at? Do you have the tallest thumb?

Such a cute idea! I was just thinking last night that I wanted to find a game that everyone in the family could participate in-this is it!
Hi Breanne,
So glad you like the game. It really is a blast and perfect for everyone, no matter the age. Your family is going to love it! Happy Thanksgiving!!
We are total game players at our place and this sounds fun. We get pretty cut throat though… everyone wants to win! Planned on some games for Thanksgiving day after dinner, we’ll have to give this a try :)
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Hi Shannon,
Nothing wrong with a little friendly family competition. Haha. We like a little competition around these parts too. This is a fun game because everyone can win with all the rounds. Even the little kids. Hope you give it a try. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
I can not wait to play this one….
What a super fun idea!! We will have to try this today!
Every year about this time I start planning Thanksgiving. I start searching for fun activities, crafts and games the whole family can participate in.
