How to play
Hosts planning a Thanksgiving gathering
10–20 minutes per round
Match your gathering
Edit food names and traditions to fit your guests. These are dinner and seasonal words, not a history lesson. Print different cards and a single caller list.
Draw a dinner word
Cut out the caller list and mix the slips. Read one at a time, leaving drawn slips on the table. A word counts when it is called, even if that food is not on your menu.
Check and continue
Check a completed row, column, or diagonal against the drawn slips. Continue for another winner or clear the cards and return all slips for a fresh round.
- Schedule the game before serving or after clearing dishes so cards have a dry place to sit.
- Use a 3 × 3 grid for a quick round between other activities.
Before you print
Can I adapt it for Canadian Thanksgiving?
Yes. The list contains meal and autumn words without a date. Replace menu items or activities with those your guests recognize.
Is it a gift-opening or observation game?
The default rules use a caller. If you prefer a dinner observation game, replace the list with actual planned moments and switch the caller sheet off.
How do I save my cards as a PDF?
Choose A4 or US Letter, then use Download PDF to save your set. Print opens your browser’s print dialog instead. Your latest draft is saved in this browser when storage is available; download a PDF to keep a separate copy or send the cards to someone else.
