Thanksgiving table games 2017: Fun and engaging games to spice up your Thanksgiving dinner

Thanksgiving gatherings aren’t just about delicious food—they’re the perfect opportunity to create warm memories with family and friends. In 2017, Thanksgiving table games gained popularity as a fun way to spark conversations, keep guests engaged between courses, and encourage a spirit of gratitude. Classics like Thanksgiving Trivia and “Who Am I?” were favorites—these games invite everyone to participate, from young kids to older adults. You could also find creative printables online: think “Gratitude Jar” slips, “Would You Rather?” cards with a festive twist, or even table runners printed with puzzles and prompts for sharing stories. As a designer, I appreciate how integrating game cards into your table settings can elevate the dining experience, serving both as décor and entertainment. For example, custom place cards can double as trivia prompts or gratitude notes, making your celebration uniquely interactive. If you want to experiment with themed table settings that seamlessly combine game elements, using a home designer tool can help you visualize layouts that maximize both style and functionality.

Tips 1:

Choose simple, conversation-based games that require little to no setup for easy incorporation into cozy Thanksgiving meals. Personalize cards or runners with family history or inside jokes for an extra-special touch.
