Need an easy Thanksgiving game that requires basically ZERO setup? You’re in the right place.
These funny Thanksgiving Would You Rather questions are perfect for kids, families, classrooms, Friendsgiving, Thanksgiving dinner, or that magical point in the day when everyone has eaten too much pie and the kids are starting to climb the furniture. 😂
No complicated rules. No giant pile of supplies.
Just gather everybody together, start asking questions, and prepare to learn which family member would apparently rather eat pumpkin pie with jalapeños than touch a Brussels sprout.
Honestly, Thanksgiving brings out things you never knew about people.
How to Play Thanksgiving Would You Rather
This Thanksgiving party game couldn’t be easier.
One person reads a question aloud and everyone chooses between the two ridiculous options.
You can simply go around the table and answer, or turn it into more of an active Thanksgiving game:
Option 1: Pick a Side
Designate one side of the room as Option A and the other as Option B. After each question, everyone runs to the side representing their answer.
Option 2: Thanksgiving Dinner Game
Ask the questions around the dinner table while you’re waiting for food, between courses, or after dessert.
Option 3: Classroom Thanksgiving Game
Have kids raise their hands, move to different sides of the classroom, or keep a tally of which answer wins.
Option 4: Family Game Night
Let each person take turns reading a question. The funniest explanation for an answer gets a point.
Make It Even Funnier
Give the winner a silly Thanksgiving prize at the end.

Anyone who correctly predicts the winning answer earns one point.
The person with the most points at the end wins.
And because apparently bragging rights aren’t enough at my house, you can throw a little prize into the mix too. 😂
Hosting kids? These silly Thanksgiving prizes are an easy way to make the game feel extra special!
You don’t need anything expensive. Stickers, fidget toys, candy, pencils, mini toys and other little Thanksgiving favors work perfectly.

When Can You Use These Thanksgiving Questions?
That’s one of my favorite things about this game: you can pull it out almost anywhere.
Use these questions for:
- Thanksgiving dinner
- Friendsgiving
- Classroom Thanksgiving parties
- Family game night
- Church Thanksgiving gatherings
- Kids’ tables
- Homeschool activities
- Thanksgiving road trips
- After-dinner entertainment
- Icebreakers for larger family gatherings
You can even ask a few while everyone is waiting for Thanksgiving dinner to finish cooking.
Anything that keeps somebody from asking, “Is the turkey done yet?” for the 47th time is a win in my book.
Make Your Own Thanksgiving Would You Rather Questions
Once everyone gets the hang of the game, let the kids create their own questions.
That’s when things usually get REALLY weird.
Give everyone a piece of paper and have them write one ridiculous Thanksgiving choice. Toss the questions into a bowl, mix them up and take turns pulling them out.
For younger kids, keep the choices simple:
Would you rather be a turkey or a pumpkin?
For older kids and adults, make them harder:
Would you rather cook the entire Thanksgiving dinner by yourself or clean every single dish afterward?
You’ll probably end up with another whole round of questions without doing any extra planning.
