Try everything from pumpkin ring toss to a pie-eating contest with these Friendsgiving games that will keep your guests entertained and in the spirit of Thanksgiving.

1. Pumpkin Ring Toss

Put a fun spin on pumpkin decor by turning them into a ring toss! Decorate small pumpkins and line them up at various distances, then toss rings made from rope or even hula hoops if you want to add a challenge. The further the pumpkin, the more points it’s worth. This game is perfect for all ages and can be played indoors or outdoors!

2. Turkey Balloon Shoot

Add a little target practice to your Friendsgiving with this hilarious game. Draw a turkey face and body on balloons and attach different point values to each one. Using a toy bow and arrow or a safe dart option, players aim to pop the balloons for the score marked on each. The person with the highest score wins!

3. Pie-Eating Contest

What’s Thanksgiving without pie? Set up a pie-eating contest for guests who don’t mind a bit of messy fun. Each player gets their own small pie and races to finish it first without using their hands. This classic competition is a must for Friendsgiving, especially if you want to celebrate with some delicious dessert.

4. Friendsgiving Bingo

Create or print Thanksgiving-themed bingo cards filled with things like “turkey,” “cranberry sauce,” “gravy,” and “Friendsgiving toast.” As these words come up during the evening, players can mark off their cards, with the first one to get a line calling out "Bingo!"

5. Thanksgiving Charades

Divide your group into two teams and act out Thanksgiving-themed phrases, foods, or activities. With topics like “stuffing a turkey” or “falling asleep after dinner,” it’s bound to spark laughter and holiday cheer.

6. Turkey Feather Hunt

Hide feather-shaped paper cutouts around the house. On the back of each feather, write a small prize or activity (like “extra dessert” or “choose the next game”). Have guests hunt for the feathers as part of a scavenger hunt.

7. Pumpkin Bowling

Get some small pumpkins and set them up as “bowling balls.” Use plastic bowling pins or even water bottles as pins, and try to knock them down by rolling your mini-pumpkin. Add some autumn flair by decorating each pin with Thanksgiving images!

8. Thanksgiving Pictionary

Set up a quick round of Pictionary using Thanksgiving words and phrases. Draw terms like “mashed potatoes,” “parade float,” and “gravy boat” while others try to guess. It’s a fun way to bring out the artist in everyone!

9. Cornhole

Friendsgiving isn’t complete without a classic cornhole game! Set up your cornhole boards, give each side a few bean bags, and let guests take turns aiming for the hole. This game can also be played in teams for added excitement.

10. Name That Thanksgiving Tune

Compile a playlist of classic Thanksgiving or autumn-themed songs and play a few seconds of each. The first person to guess the song wins the round! Try songs that are both well-known and challenging for a great mix.

11. Pin the Feather on the Turkey

This twist on Pin the Tail on the Donkey uses a turkey cutout on the wall. Blindfold each player, spin them around, and see who can place the feather closest to the target. The more off-center, the more laughs!

12. Apple Bobbing

If you’re up for a classic fall game, set up a tub of water with floating apples and see who can grab one using only their mouth. It’s a crowd-pleaser, especially when everyone’s looking for some seasonal nostalgia.

13. Thanksgiving Trivia

Prepare a list of Thanksgiving trivia questions covering everything from history to fun facts about the holiday. Divide into teams and see who knows the most about this festive season!

14. Pumpkin Tic-Tac-Toe

Make a tic-tac-toe board out of masking tape on a table and use mini pumpkins or gourds as the game pieces. It’s a fun, low-key game everyone can enjoy while chatting.

15. Grateful Guessing Game

Pass a bowl around with slips of paper, each with a player’s name written on it. Each person writes down one thing they are thankful for, then the group tries to guess who wrote each one. It’s a heartwarming way to celebrate gratitude.

16. Turkey Relay Race

Split into teams and set up a relay with silly tasks like waddling like a turkey, balancing a pumpkin, or carrying a “feast” on a tray. It’s a funny way to get active and enjoy some friendly competition.

17. Wishbone Pull

The classic wishbone pull is a simple game that never gets old. Two people pull on opposite ends of a wishbone to see who gets the larger piece, with the winner getting to make a wish!

18. Thanksgiving Scattergories

Create a list of Thanksgiving categories, such as “foods,” “decorations,” “fall activities,” and more. Each player or team has to come up with a unique word for each category starting with a given letter.

19. Stuff the Turkey

Have guests try to toss small items like corn kernels or paper balls into a container or “turkey” decorated box. The guest with the most kernels inside wins a prize. It’s a fun, easy game for all ages!

20. Gratitude Jenga

In this game, write a different question or prompt on each Jenga block, focusing on gratitude and Friendsgiving themes. For example, blocks might say, "Name one thing you're grateful for this year" or "Share your favorite Thanksgiving memory." As players pull a block, they answer the question on it. It's a heartfelt way to reflect on what you're thankful for while enjoying some lighthearted competition.
