Best Games to Play With Family on Thanksgiving

What to do after the Thanksgiving meal is finished? What about during, when there are 2 people working in the kitchen and 12 just hanging around. Well, here are some party game ideas that could keep people smiling.

Taboo

Unlike politics, sex and religion, this taboo to bring out on the holidays. Taboo is a word guessing game that is totally fun and easy for everyone to play.

Cranium

A Microsoft employee apparently left his job after a weekend of playing party games with other adults and realizing there was a need for a game using the whole brain. He was right, the market was ready for it.

Wii

Wii Sports brings quite a few things that even non video game players (like me) can enjoy. The bowling game is so simple, even grandpa could enjoy it. Same goes for golf, tennis, and a couple others. It's a cool 'take turns' and compete in friendly fun kind of time.

Fruit Ninja

Another step into the digital world, and you can bring everyone with you. It's fun to pass the tablet back and forth and see who can get the hightest score. Or, go to 'Multiplayer' and do the 'Zen Duel'. I've done it with my 90 year old grandmother, and she was cracking up!
