Friendsgiving is always a fun way to get all your friends together for some good times and a great meal. But, it won’t be so fun if your guests are sitting around with nothing to do. Here are some Friendsgiving ideas to keep your guests entertained that they will actually love and enjoy.
Backyard Football
Bring out your competitive sides with a little friendly competition of flag football. Split teams by picking captions or just make them completely random by picking names out of hat. Which ever way you decide to do it, it will be a blast. Make things interesting and reward the winning team with something like first dibs at the dinner table.
Card Games
Card games are a great way to everyone involved and you are guaranteed for some laughs. Cards Against Humanity is a classic, but can get old fast if everyone has played it several times before. Some great card games to introduce include: New Phone Who Dis?, The Voting Game, Bad People, and That’s What She Said.
Drinking Games
For guests 21+, drinking games are always an easy way to entertain people. For instance, you can make one up yourself or buy this Thanksgiving themed drinking game from Amazon. I went ahead and did some of the work for you and made this super fun drinking game for Thanksgiving football. Feel free to tweak it to fit your party best.
Beer/Wine Tasting
Another one for those 21+. Have each guest bring a bottle of wine or a couple bottles of beer of their choice to share. It could be a $3 bottle of wine from Trader Joes or something more expensive if your friends are extra. Not only is this a fun way for people to find their new favorite drink, but you aren’t stuck with supplying all the alcohol. WIN. WIN.
If you do decide on a beer/win tasting, these cups will be a lifesaver. You get 100 cups for an absolute steal. Or, if you decide to just handle the alcohol all on your own, these super easy fall cocktail recipes will be a huge hit.
Watch Thanksgiving Themed Shows
Lastly, watching some iconic Thanksgiving themed TV shows, like the ones from Friends, is a such a fun and easy way to get in the Thanksgiving mood. These shows are prefect to turn on as the night begins to wind down, or just play them throughout the day as background noise. Here’s a list of over 75 Thanksgiving episodes from your favorite TV shows for you and your friends to watch.
