2 Thanksgiving Gratitude Game

On Thanksgiving, we always go around the table and say something we are grateful for. The Thanksgiving Gratitude Game is a fun way to shake up this tradition. Have everyone pick a color (you can also use m&m, color paper, or feathers for added fun!). Then have each person say what they are grateful for based on the category of the color they have chosen. Instead of just sharing one thing, you can share a few different things.

I love Scattergories! And I love themes! This is the best of both worlds! Use the link below to print out topics and answer sheets for each round. You will also need a timer and an alphabet die. If you don’t have an alphabet die, you could write each letter on a piece of paper and have someone choose randomly from a basket. Then roll the die, set the timer, and have a blast!
