How to play at the Thanksgiving table

Thanksgiving has long stretches where nobody knows what to talk about: waiting for the turkey, the lull before pie, the hour on the couch after. A would you rather question fills those gaps without anyone leaving the table. Read one out loud, everyone picks a side, and someone explains. That's all you need, and the full Would You Rather game has the rest.

• Start with Dinner while people fill their plates. Food questions get everyone talking, from grandparents to five-year-olds.
• Save Pie & dessert for the gap between dinner and dessert.
• Bring out Gratitude once everyone is full and relaxed. It's a softer way to go around the table than “say what you're thankful for.”
• Pass the phone to a different reader after each question so nobody gets stuck hosting.

Tips for the kids' table

Give the kids' table its own phone and let the oldest kid read. They will make it through a dozen questions while the grown-ups are still on the gravy. The pie, leftovers and travel questions are easy for younger kids to picture.

If the kids get restless, turn it into a vote with movement: stand up for the first option, stay seated for the second. Then send them to the grown-up table to ask one question each. It's a good way to mix the two tables before dessert.

Relatives who couldn't make the trip can play too. Start a video call, prop the phone at the end of the table and read the questions loud enough for both rooms.

More games for the holiday

Would you rather is a good warm-up, but the evening is long. When people want something more active, try charades or Forehead Guess from our Thanksgiving games. If the questions are a hit, keep going in December with our Christmas would you rather questions.
