See relatives young and old play together! Set out bowls full of popcorn at one end of the room and empty bowls at another. Teams must transport the popcorn from full bowl to empty, using a measuring cup.


Twenty Questions

Choose someone or something related to Thanksgiving.
One player says "I am thinking of a person, place or thing"
The other players try to guess what it is by asking no more than twenty questions which can be answered "yes," "no," or "I don't know."

Bird, Beast, or Fish

Everyone sits facing the leader. The leader points to one of the players and says either "BIRD," "BEAST," or "FISH." The chosen player must come up with the name of an animal that fits the category before the leader counts to ten. No repeating! If the player does not respond in time, she is out. The game continues until only one player remains.
