Things To Do on Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving is a national celebration in the US. It is all about being thankful, and many families gather to enjoy a celebratory feast. The feast usually includes items like turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. After the feast is over, there are many other activities you can do together to make it a memorable occasion.

Play bingo and other casino games

A bingo game is fun to play after the meal. You can make Thanksgiving-themed cards with a mix of images arranged in a 5×5 grid. Use markers such as candy corn or acorns and give each player enough to cover the 24 images on their card. Create a small set of cards for the caller that match the images on the bingo cards. Gather everyone around a central table and explain the rules before you begin. Have small prizes for winners such as holiday-themed treats.

Playing casino games at US online casinos has become very popular, and you can also play bingo online. There are also many Thanksgiving-themed slot games you can enjoy. These slot games usually include symbols like turkeys, pumpkin pie, corn, etc. You can play them for real money on your mobile device by downloading a casino app.

Host a scavenger hunt

Create a list of Thanksgiving-themed items to hide around the house or yard. These may be items like a pumpkin, a pilgrim hat, a feather, or even a napkin with a turkey on it. Make sure you hide the items well enough to make it a fun challenge, but without making it too difficult. 

Split everyone into teams. It can be fun to pair up different generations. Give teams the list of items they must find and a bag to store them in. Set a time limit to make the hunt more exciting. The first team to find all the items within the time frame wins. Offer a Thanksgiving-themed prize to the winning team.

Have a Thanksgiving cooking challenge

If you plan well ahead of time, you can find ways to take some of the effort out of making the Thanksgiving meal. You can make the turkey but everyone else can do the rest. A little competition is always fun and makes cooking enjoyable. Divide the guests into different teams and ask each team to bring a side dish. You could get teams to make items such as mini pumpkin pies or tarts, a Thanksgiving-themed charcuterie board, mashed potatoes, or desserts. Everyone must vote for the most creative or tasty dish.

Enjoy a movie marathon

After the meal and football games are over, watching movies together gives everyone a chance to relax and chill out. Some of the best shows on Netflix channel the spirit of the season.

Holidate with Emma Roberts and Luke Bracey is an emotionally complicated romantic comedy that features a climactic scene during Thanksgiving dinner.
