Thanksgiving Party Games
Wishbone Snap Party Game
Two people pull. The larger piece gets the wish.
- Players
- 2, with a watching group
- Time
- 5 min
- What you need
- A dried turkey wishbone
Why it works as a party game
It is the shortest Thanksgiving party game, and it still stops conversation. Save it for a lull, not a climax.
How to play
- Dry the wishbone until it is brittle, often overnight.
- Two players hook a pinky around each side.
- On three, pull. Larger piece wins.
- The winner says the wish silently. The room moves on.
Hosting tips
- Do not use a fresh, flexible bone.
- Kids can snap a paper wishbone if the real one is too sharp.
- No rerolls. One snap.
