Thanksgiving Charades Generator

Tap New word for a Thanksgiving card to act out: dishes and drinks, traditions, movies and TV, football and parade moments, and the awkward situations every dinner has. Add a timer, keep score for two teams, or hide each word until the actor taps it so you can pass the phone around the table. Cards do not repeat until you have seen them all.

Thanksgiving Charades Generator

Tap “New word” to get your first card.

40 cards in this set · no repeats until the set runs out

How it works

  1. 1 Pick a set, or leave it on Mix. You can also paste your own cards under Your own words.
  2. 2 The actor taps New word and reads the card alone. Turn on hide mode to pass the phone around without peeking.
  3. 3 Start the round timer and act the card out without speaking. The team guesses.
  4. 4 Tap Guessed or Not guessed to give the point or move on, then switch teams.

Make it work at your table

  • → Friendsgiving: Funny Situations and Movies & TV get the most laughs after a glass of wine.
  • → Couples: play one on one against the timer, best of ten cards.
  • → Work potluck: stick to Food & Drinks and Football & Parade, which are easy to act out and keep things neutral.
  • → Big groups: split into teams of 4 to 6 and rotate the actor each round.
  • → Kids at the table: Food & Drinks and Football & Parade have plenty of easy cards for them.
