A Thanksgiving Dinner IdeaTurn On The Dinner Table FunPlay Turkey Tunes
Here's a Thanksgiving Dinner idea that will add some fun to your celebration. Our Thanksgiving dinner conversation is always animated thanks to a good game. Each year I plan one and everyone looks forward to it. At our house, I insist we all eat Thanksgiving dinner together in the same room. We're not all together that often, so it's important that we all gather for dinner together in one spot. Usually we can squeeze into the dining room. A few years back all the West Coast cousins came and I had the guys move the furniture from the living room into the dining room, pull the dining table into the living room and add banquet tables. Yes,we pulled it off.. 28 of us plus two high chairs all in the living room! It was great!!
That year I decided our Thanksgiving game theme would be "Sing in the Holidays". The year before, my sister had given me a "Name that Carol" list that was circulating her office. I wish I could pay tribute to the original author but he/she is unknown. I used that list, added another dozen clues of my own and "Turkey Tunes.. Sing In the Holidays" was the game for that year. It was a hit!!
Click below and you will find the songs and the clues. Cut them up and place in a "Thanksgiving decorated" envelope. Add an instant lottery ticket, plus a penny for the scratch off. Put each person's name on the envelope and these also become your placecards! One of my favorite rules to the game: Don't know the answers... you get a family lifeline.. just remember if you win on your ticket, you split with your lifeline! It was great fun. We went one by one around the table, opened the envelope, read the clue aloud and answered. By about the 4th person, everyone was "singing their answer.
