Why it works as a party game
It is a slow party game. Thanksgiving needs one of those so the loud games have a landing.
How to play
- Leave a jar and slips out from the first arrival.
- Anonymous is allowed. Names are allowed.
- After dinner, draw ten slips and read them aloud.
- If the jar is still full, save the rest for dessert.
Hosting tips
- Model one sincere note so the jar does not fill with jokes only.
- Do not force anyone to read their own.
- A kid can be the drawer.
