Looking for a fun and easy Thanksgiving game? Try “Thanksgiving This or That Questions”!
It requires no materials, as you can read from your phone.
Also, it’s perfect for breaking the ice, sparking friendly debates, and discovering everyone’s holiday preferences.
What is This or That
If you’ve never played this or that before, the rules are simple: someone presents two options, and everyone has to choose one.
No explanations are needed (although they often add to the fun).
How to Play This or That
Here are my favorite ways to play This or That in a crowd setting:
1. Raise Hands: Call out the questions and ask everyone to raise their hands for their choice.
2. Move Left or Right: Have everyone stand in a single file line.
Read the options; if they choose “this,” they move left. If they choose “that,” they move right.
For example, if the choice is “Turkey or Ham,” those who prefer turkey go left, and those who prefer ham go right.
Neutral? Stay in place. After each question, everyone returns to the center.
