Friendsgiving Games That Make Everyone Laugh
Friendsgiving is the perfect mix of cozy food, fall vibes, and laughter that never ends.
After the feast, when everyone’s too full to move but not ready to go home, it’s time for the real fun to begin — Friendsgiving games.
Whether you’re indoors around the table or outside soaking up the crisp autumn air, these games will keep the good times rolling and make your gathering one to remember.
1. Turkey Trivia Showdown
A classic trivia game with a Thanksgiving twist!
Divide your guests into teams and test their knowledge of all things turkey, food, and fall.
Mix in a few funny personal questions like “Who’s most likely to fall asleep first?” or “Which side dish would you be and why?”
You can even use free trivia generators online or make your own themed cards — winner gets first dibs on leftovers!
2. The Gratitude Game
After a big meal, it’s nice to slow things down and share some heartwarming moments.
Have everyone sit in a circle and toss a small ball around. Whoever catches it has to share one thing they’re thankful for — but make it creative!
They can share a memory from the past year, something funny that happened tonight, or a simple “I’m thankful for mashed potatoes.”
It’s a sweet way to laugh, reflect, and connect without it feeling too serious.
3. 9 Square in the Air – Friendsgiving Edition
Ready to burn off that pumpkin pie?
Take the celebration outside with 9 Square in the Air — a fast-paced, social game that keeps everyone laughing and moving.
It’s easy to set up, works for all ages, and adds a dose of friendly competition to your Friendsgiving fun.
Bonus tip: play with a red or orange ball to match your fall theme!
4. BucketGolf Challenge
Turn your backyard or driveway into a mini-tournament with BucketGolf.
Create a quick 3-hole course, grab a few clubs, and let the games begin!
You can even assign fun names to each hole like Pumpkin Pie Par 3 or Stuffing Swing.
This game is perfect for mixing in some light competition and outdoor laughs before everyone settles into dessert mode.
5. Thankful Charades
Charades with a seasonal twist!
Write down Thanksgiving or fall-themed prompts like “cranberry sauce,” “post-dinner nap,” or “football game cheering.”
It’s a guaranteed way to get your friends out of their seats and in stitches.
Why Games Make Friendsgiving Unforgettable
Sure, the food is great — but what you’ll remember most are the moments you couldn’t stop laughing.
Games turn a casual meal into a memory-filled night that your friends will talk about for years.
So this year, grab a few props, head outside, and make room for play.
Your Friendsgiving will be full of gratitude, laughter, and maybe just a little friendly competition.
