It’s safe to say that holiday games and activities are a must for the winter break and are a great way to have everyone in the family join in on the family game night fun.
The fun part about playing charades is that it’s different each time you play it. Each person will act out the cards and words in their own special way, making it unique and hilarious each and every time.

How do you play Thanksgiving charades?
All you need is this Thanksgiving list of words to get started! That doesn’t mean that you can’t add more (and I’ve included blank sheets for you to do just that!) if you want!
Start by splitting up into teams, and then fold up the Thanksgiving words and have the person who will be acting out the clue pick one. If their team members can guess what they’re acting out before the time runs out, their team earns a point!
Take turns with teams, and the team who ends up with the most points wins!
How many people do you need to play charades?
For this inclusive game, you can literally play this group game with 2-20 people! (or more!) You really just need someone to be able to act out the clues and someone to guess them. But I can promise that the more people you have, the crazier the game gets!
The object of the game is to act out a word or use words to describe the word. Just be careful you don’t use the word. You can use props, hand gestures or even a drawing board. The first team will choose a player to do the motions. The actor will stand in front of the room, while the rest of the team guesses the word. You can set a timer or create a time limit to keep the game moving along. Keep track of the amount of points and at the end you can declare a winner.
You can also just play this charades game for fun. You don’t even have to keep points or pick and “winner” if you don’t want to. See how many you can get in a specific amount of time – and have fun doing so.

Grab your free printable Thanksgiving games charades cards. Lots of laughter is ahead with this collection of Thanksgiving Charade words.
The really great thing is that once you print, you’re ready to play. I typically like to laminate the charade cards because I don’t want to have to print them over and over again. (and that is such a time saver during the holidays)
If you can laminate them, do so! You can then store them in a plastic bag and have them on hand for games every Thanksgiving holiday. (This has saved me so many times from split drinks ruining the cards and other printables!)
