Printable Friendsgiving Games to Play After Dinner

After-Dinner Fun That Keeps the Vibes Going 🎲

Let’s be real — Friendsgiving is basically Thanksgiving’s cooler cousin. The food’s amazing, the playlist’s better, and you get to hang out with your favorite people without having to listen to Uncle Bob talk about politics again. But once everyone’s full and fighting off a food coma, what do you do next?

You pull out some printable Friendsgiving games, of course. Whether you’re into laughs, a little friendly competition, or something sentimental, printable games make it super easy to keep the night going without needing to plan much in advance. Just print, play, and let the chaos (or laughter) begin. 🙂


Why Printable Games Are the MVP of Friendsgiving

Printable games are seriously underrated. They’re cheap, reusable, and most importantly — no setup stress. IMO, that’s a win. You don’t have to run around looking for board game pieces or deal with confusing rules. Just grab a few pens, pass out the sheets, and you’re ready.

Here’s why printable games rock your Friendsgiving table:

  • Zero prep: Download, print, done.
  • Inclusive: Great for mixed-age groups.
  • Budget-friendly: You’re already buying the turkey, right?
  • Fun add-on: Keeps everyone engaged after dinner instead of scrolling on their phones.

And since these games are printable, you can even choose designs that match your Friendsgiving aesthetic — yes, cute fonts do matter.


1. Thanksgiving Scattergories (Friendsgiving Edition)

Ever tried coming up with a Thanksgiving food starting with “Z”? Exactly. That’s what makes Scattergories so much fun. You can create your own or grab a printable version online. Make it Friendsgiving-specific with categories like:

  • Dishes you’re pretending you made from scratch
  • Things you’re thankful for (but secretly side-eye)
  • Weirdest leftovers combo you’ve ever tried

How to play: Everyone fills in answers for each category using the same starting letter. If your answer is unique, you get a point. Most points = bragging rights until next year.


2. Who’s Most Likely To: Friendsgiving Edition

This game always ends in laughter — and maybe a bit of roasting. Each person takes turns reading a “Who’s most likely to…” card. Everyone points (or calls out) who fits the description best. Example:

  • Who’s most likely to burn the rolls?
  • Who’d show up just for dessert?
  • Who’s already planning next year’s Friendsgiving?

Tip: You can print a pre-made version or write your own. I usually keep a few blank cards on hand for last-minute funny ideas.


3. Thanksgiving Trivia Challenge

Perfect for those who take holiday facts way too seriously. This one’s fun for mixed groups — you’ll be surprised who knows random things like when the first Macy’s parade started.

Ideas for trivia rounds:

  • Thanksgiving history
  • Food facts
  • Pop culture Friendsgiving moments (looking at you, Friends fans)
  • Local traditions

Make it competitive by adding a prize — maybe first pick of dessert leftovers?


4. Gratitude Game Jar 🧡

This one’s a little more sentimental — and perfect for winding down. Print a sheet of “gratitude prompts,” cut them out, and toss them in a jar. Everyone takes turns pulling one and answering.

Prompts like:

  • “What’s one small thing that made you smile this week?”
  • “Who at this table are you grateful for, and why?”

It’s surprisingly heartwarming (and a good balance after all the silliness).

5. Printable Thanksgiving Bingo

Classic, but with a twist. Create or download a Friendsgiving-themed Bingo card with squares like:

  • Someone spilled gravy
  • The “dessert” talk starts
  • Someone’s already unbuttoned their jeans
  • Someone says “I’m so full, but…”

Play while the night goes on — you’ll be shocked how fast someone wins.


6. Thanksgiving Pictionary

Pictionary never gets old. All you need is a printable word list and a whiteboard or sketch pad. Add Friendsgiving humor by including prompts like:

  • “Burnt pumpkin pie”
  • “Awkward family dinner”
  • “Turkey coma”
  • “Leftovers for breakfast”

Pro tip: Use a free online Pictionary word generator or print pre-made cards. Split into teams and let the chaos unfold.


7. Charades: The After-Dinner Edition

Everyone loves a little acting challenge after stuffing themselves. Use printable charade cards — or make your own with Thanksgiving and Friendsgiving themes.

Some fun ones:

  • “Stuffing the turkey”
  • “Trying to take a group photo”
  • “Arguing about the playlist”
  • “Falling asleep mid-movie”

It’s a great icebreaker for groups where not everyone knows each other well.

8. Thanksgiving “Would You Rather?”

This one’s a guaranteed hit because the questions get weirdly creative. Print a list and take turns answering.

A few fun examples:

  • Would you rather wash all the dishes or cook the turkey next year?
  • Would you rather have pumpkin pie or sweet potato pie forever?
  • Would you rather host Friendsgiving or just show up with wine?

You’ll learn more about your friends in 10 minutes than you did all year.


9. The Compliment Game (Heartwarming Edition)

Here’s a sweet one to wrap up the evening. Hand everyone a sheet with each guest’s name listed. Everyone writes one nice thing about each person — then you fold and pass them around.

People always keep their notes after. It’s such a good reminder of why Friendsgiving matters — friendship, food, and laughter.


10. The Gratitude Scavenger Hunt

If you’re hosting a daytime Friendsgiving or have kids around, this game is perfect. Print the scavenger list and let guests find things around the house or yard that match the prompts.

Example prompts:

  • Something cozy
  • Something orange
  • Something that smells amazing
  • Something that reminds you of fall

Bonus: Friendsgiving Photo Challenge 📸

No party’s complete without a few good photos. Print a Friendsgiving photo checklist and turn it into a mini-competition.

Example checklist:

  • Group selfie with everyone
  • Best “I’m stuffed” face
  • Most aesthetic plate shot
  • Candid laughter moment

By the end of the night, you’ll have a full album of memories — and maybe a few blackmail-worthy photos.

Quick Tips for Hosting a Game-Filled Friendsgiving

A few hosting tricks to keep things running smoothly:

  • Print ahead of time. Don’t trust your printer five minutes before guests arrive.
  • Use clipboards or trays for games that need writing.
  • Set prizes. Small ones like candy, candles, or first pick of leftovers make it more fun.
  • Rotate games. Start with loud games (charades) and end with calmer ones (gratitude jar).
  • Mix it up. Blend silly, competitive, and heartfelt games for the perfect flow.

By planning a few printables, you can enjoy the night instead of constantly “hosting.”


Wrapping It Up: Food, Friends & Fun

Friendsgiving isn’t about perfection — it’s about the laughs, the messy stories, and the “remember that time” moments. Printable games make that part easy. You can grab a few, print them out, and guarantee that nobody’s sneaking off to scroll TikTok halfway through dessert.

If you want to keep the good vibes going even after the food coma hits, don’t forget to grab those Thanksgiving Conversation Starter Cards. They’re quick, funny, and perfect for keeping everyone talking (and maybe oversharing a little 😅).

So, grab your printables, refill your cider, and get ready for a Friendsgiving night that everyone will still be talking about next year.
