40 Thanksgiving Family Feud Questions and Answers

How to play Thanksgiving Family Feud

1. Split into two teams and pick a host who sees the answers.
2. One player from each team faces off. The host reads the question.
3. The first to give an answer that’s on the board wins the face-off for their team.
4. That team guesses the rest, one player at a time. Three wrong answers and they’re out.
5. The other team then gets one guess to steal the round’s points.

Write the answers on sticky notes and cover them on a wall, or just read them out as they’re guessed. A serving spoon on a pot lid makes a fine buzzer.

The answers below are ranked by our own guess at what most people would say. Points are out of 100.

Tips for hosting

• Double or triple the points in the final round so the losing team still has a chance.
• Let the host overrule close answers. “Stuffing” and “dressing” can count as the same thing.
• Keep a printed copy for the host and read answers aloud, rather than showing them on a screen everyone can see.
• Mix one silly question into every round for the quiet ones.
• Skip the touchy ones in mixed company. The adult round is meant for friends who know each other.
