Thanksgiving Party Games
Pass the Cranberry Party Game
Pass the cranberry while the song plays. When it stops, say one thanks.
- Players
- 6–14
- Time
- 10–15 min
- What you need
- Music and a sealed cranberry can or small stuffed turkey
Why it works as a party game
It is hot potato with manners. Thanksgiving party games can be short and still feel like the holiday.
How to play
- Sit in a circle with a sealed can or stuffed bird.
- Pass with the music. No skipping.
- When it stops, the holder says one specific thanks, not a generic one.
- Five stops is a round.
Hosting tips
- Sealed cans only. Open sauce is a dry-cleaning bill.
- The cook should not have to hold the speaker and the can.
- Allow a pass if someone is mid-bite.
