25 Thanksgiving charades ideas
This deck mixes dinner jobs, parade moments and the people around the table, so most prompts are easy to show in a few gestures. For Carving a Turkey, hold an imaginary knife and saw slowly, then lift a slice. For Breaking the Wishbone, hook two imaginary fingers and pull until one side gives way. For Loosening Your Belt After Dinner, lean back, tug at your waist and pat your stomach. Nothing here needs a real prop, and if your group does not celebrate Thanksgiving, the food and family prompts work for any big dinner.
