Turkey Bingo
Turkey Bingo is a classic game that's perfect for kids of all ages. With our printable bingo cards and calling sheets, it's easy to set up and play. The first player to mark off a complete row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) shouts "Bingo!" and wins a small prize.
To make it more challenging for older kids, you can add multiple rows or use unique symbols instead of traditional bingo numbers.
Pilgrim Hat Craft and Game
This creative activity combines crafting and fun, allowing kids to design their own pilgrim hats while learning about the first Thanksgiving. Our PDF provides easy-to-follow instructions for both the craft project and the subsequent game of "Pilgrim Says."
Similar to Simon Says, "Pilgrim Says" instructs players to perform actions, but only those that begin with "Pilgrim" are valid. If a player completes an action without the word "Pilgrim," they're out of the game. The last player standing is the winner.
Thanksgiving Games for Teens and Adults
These entertaining games are perfect for teenagers and adults, helping to create lasting memories and keep the conversation flowing during your Thanksgiving gathering.

Divide the players into teams and have them buzz in with their answers using a bell or by shouting out their responses. The team with the most points at the end of the game is the winner.
Harvest Scrabble
This word-building game encourages creativity and friendly competition. Using our printable letter tiles and word lists filled with Thanksgiving-themed terms, players form words by building off existing ones on the game board.
The player with the most points after each round takes a point from the next player on the left and adds it to their score. The game continues until one player reaches 100 points or the time runs out.
