When it’s the gathering of all your friends and family members on Thanksgiving, things for sure can get fun… but they can fizzle out just as fast once you are out of small talk. To take care of the boredom and engage not only the kids with the printable sheets but also the adults in the room as well, download these super entertaining and uncomplicated Thanksgiving Games:
11+ Thanksgiving Gratitude for kids and adults:
1. Gratitude Dice Game
A fun Thanksgiving gratitude for kids and adults, the main aim of this printable is also to concentrate on the blessings of your life. (Just in a more interactive way than others!) The game is simple; simply roll a die one by one, and wherever it lands between 1 and 6, the person has to answer that specific question the mat dictates!
2. Free Thanksgiving Game Printable- Crossword
Crosswords seem to be a hit for everybody as an easy way to pass the time. When it’s time for Thanksgiving, you’d of course want them to be fall-themed. Here’s a fairly cute one for the occasion! Click here to find the answers to the puzzle.
3. Free Thanksgiving Game Printable- Word Search
Just like the free Thanksgiving gratitude activities for adults printable free, you’ll find two types of word search puzzles created here; The Kid version is easier, and you can provide them with the words to make it easier to finish the sheet. For the adults, you can hold back the list of words to keep them challenged. Click here to find the answers to the puzzle.
4. Free Printable Dice Template
While we did include a couple of nice Thanksgiving activities, I assure you this is the last one, and something unique at that. Here, just cut along the scissor marks and you’ll have a paper dice/die template, which you can easily stick by gluing the sides for your own personal Thanksgiving die!
(I personally love this personalized themed dice because I used to do that as a kid; magazines used to come with this “make your own die” page, but they were never themed! So, it definitely increases the nostalgia, at least in the millennial generation!
5. Spinner Activity
You’ll need to use some stationery in this city, not much, just a pin and scissors, which you can use to cut the “pie” and attach it from the middle with the help of a pin, and paste that arrow on a flat surface adjacent to the pie, as shown. Image 2 should be put underneath Image 1, and the person who spins will answer the question revealed underneath.

6. Gratitude Double Dice Game
Did you like the earlier Thanksgiving gratitude activities for families die game? Well, why not make it a double feature and level up the activity with a dual dice one? The rules may sound a little more complicated at first than the rest of these easy-peasy games, but you’ll see that it’s interesting once you play it.
Take two dice and roll them together. From the numbers that come in each dice, choose the ones from the Thanksgiving Card and answer that particular question from that particular category. For example, I land on a 5 on one die and get a 3 on the other. Looking at the card, I’ll answer a cherished memory related to my family.
Another example includes getting a 2 and a 6; now, any funny memory, including my friend(s), comes to mind, as I’ve rolled a “pick any.” I love how you can keep on getting combinations in this game, going way beyond playing just on Thanksgiving this way!
7. The Classic: Would You Rather
Thanksgiving gratitude activities for families have to include this popular printable, right? There are literally thousands and thousands of questions you can get on this particular themed game of choosing an option between the two and still not get bored with it. Here is a version of the Thanksgiving Would You Rather card that’s suitable for both kids and adults!
8. Themed Scavenger Hunt
This fun activity provides a super interesting way through which your Autumn decor can be put to fair use! How, you may ask? Well, because this Thanksgiving gratitude for kids and adults is all about finding the items on the list and checking them out to win the game the fastest.
Some are super easy to find, such as pumpkins, which you can find around that time, and some can take more time to cross off, such as the Gratitude List (don’t have one? Make one right now!)
9. Thanksgiving Mad Libs
Mad Libs is a decades-old game that has had thousands of versions available through which you can get the most absurd personalized stories through its fill-in-the-blanks format. You are the controller of the keywords and what elements make sentences, such as verbs, adverbs, nouns, adjectives, and even items like food or sound.
The following version, of course, deals with a Thanksgiving story, which, once filled in and read out loud afterward, makes a totally random Thanksgiving-gone-wrong, silly scene.
10. “Top 3” Thanksgiving Rapid Fire
In this game, the instructions are pretty straightforward: simply fill up the sheet with all the Thanksgiving/fall season questions, and the one who answers correctly in the fastest time wins!
11. Maze
I had to add this super easy autumn printable that can be done in under a minute for some quick fun. To make it more worthwhile, here are two different mazes, one for the kids and a latter one for adults.
Something Extra: Gratitude Dinner Menu Game For All
As we went down this list of Thanksgiving gratitude activities printable free, you got through different versions of Thanksgiving activities that are all about fun, but this short page of Thanksgiving Gratitude one-liner “menu” is more about gratefulness. Here, you are supposed to answer the prompts after or before you indulge in a three-course meal!
