Our Secret Recipe for a Memorable Thanksgiving

Hey, there! Thanksgiving excitement in the air? It’s that special time of year when our homes brim with the laughter and chatter of loved ones. This year, I’ve got a little trick up my sleeve to make your family gathering even more unforgettable – a DIY Family Trivia Game! It’s perfect for your crew, especially the kids in that 9 to 13 sweet spot, and it’s a surefire hit with the whole family, from the youngest cousins to the wisest grandparent.

The Game Plan: DIY Family Trivia

Picture this: a game that’s all about you, your quirky stories, and your shared memories. It’s easy to set up, a blast to play, and the perfect way to get everyone talking, laughing, and maybe even learning a thing or two about each other.

Crafting Your Game:

1. Gather Your Supplies:
   All you need is some card stock (or any paper will do, honestly), a couple of markers, and a bowl for your question cards.
2. Family Detective Work:
   Before the big day, play a bit of detective. Call up relatives, start group chats, or even dig through old photo albums. We’re on the hunt for fun facts, silly stories, and those “I can’t believe that happened” family moments.
3. Question Masters:
   Turn those nuggets of family gold into trivia questions. “Who was the one that got lost at Disneyland?” or “What’s Grandpa’s secret chili ingredient?” Keep a mix of easy-peasy and head-scratchers to keep everyone on their toes.
4. Game On:
   At Thanksgiving, gather everyone and dive into your trivia bowl, take turns drawing questions and guessing answers. The most correct guesses? Well, they get bragging rights till next year!
