Thanksgiving Party Games Bundle Printable, Bingo and Kids Activities

QUICK START (about 5 minutes, on a computer):
1. Download the ZIP: Start-Here-Host-Guide-and-Quick-Print-Packets.zip
2. Extract it (right-click, Extract All).
3. Open the Quick-Print folder and open ONE packet in your paper size:
- Kids-4-Children-Letter-Low-Ink.pdf (A4: Kids-4-Children-A4-Low-Ink.pdf)
- Family-8-Guests-Letter-Low-Ink.pdf (A4: Family-8-Guests-A4-Low-Ink.pdf)
4. Print ALL its pages (Actual size / 100%, portrait, single sided) and play. The packet holds everything the game needs.
That is the whole setup. You do not need the four big library PDFs for a first party.

KIDS FOR 4 CHILDREN (12 sheets, ages 5-9, about 30 minutes): turkey coloring, pumpkin maze and Harvest Table spot-the-difference, three sheets per child, no cutting. Bring crayons, pencils, an eraser and paper. Explain first and stay nearby for nonreaders and maze help.

FAMILY FOR 8 PLAYERS (14 sheets, best for ages 8 and up plus adults; younger children can join with a helper; about 30 minutes; the host or a ninth person reads the passing story aloud): Thanksgiving Charades, the Gravy Boat passing story and Most Likely To. Page 1 holds the complete charades rules and a score table, so nothing else is needed to play. Bring scissors (the host cuts the charades cards), pencils, a timer and one soft token; the reader stays outside the passing circle, so 8 players plus the reader. Whisper charades prompts to nonreaders and read/help with Most Likely To.

Both packets come in Letter and A4, low ink with simple headers (decorative paintings are left out to save ink; all game text, mazes, coloring and spot-the-difference artwork are kept). For a different number of players, READ-ME-FIRST.txt in the ZIP says which pages to print again. Use a computer to download, unzip and print.

WANT BINGO? (full library only, not in either short packet)
Bingo needs an adult caller plus pencils or counters for each guest. Choose ONE deck:
- Guest cards (in the full library PDF of your size): picture cards pp1-100 or word cards pp101-200. Print one different card per guest. No cutting.
- Caller pages (in the host guide inside the ZIP, US Letter version): picture pp128-130 or word pp133-135 = caller checklist plus a read-aloud order. Print one copy. A4 and low-ink page numbers are in the host guide's index.
- Cutting is optional: picture calling cards pp131-132 or word calling cards pp136-138 can be cut apart and shuffled, or just read the order list.
- Keep the picture and word decks separate and use the matching caller pages.

Thanksgiving entertainment without planning homework: 56 activities for a mixed-age family gathering, with separate choices for kids and older guests. $9.99 is the whole reusable library; you do not need to print it. The four full-library PDFs are separate downloads, in Letter and A4, color and low ink. Choose one version; do not print every file.

WANT MORE? PICK FROM THE FULL LIBRARY
The host guide (186 pages, inside the ZIP) has an index of every activity, party playlists, rules and every answer key. Print only the pages you choose, at Actual Size / 100%, portrait, single sided. Guest page numbers are the same in all four library PDFs.
- Kids ages 5-9, little reading: coloring pp279-283 and both difference games pp284-285 can be independent after you explain; younger children may need hints for small details.
- Explain first: mazes pp276-277 and picture sudoku p278. Confident children can then work alone; younger ones may need help with paths or the number-to-picture key.
- Adult-led: picture bingo needs a caller (see Want Bingo above); charades (pp250-252) needs cutting and whispered prompts for nonreaders; passing stories (pp259-262) need a separate reader. Most Likely To (p268) needs a reader for young children and kind, optional sharing.
- Quizzes, word games and conversation cards need confident readers or adult help. Logic puzzles pp231-232 and number puzzles p237 suit ages 10+ and adults, alone or in pairs.
- The packets are the same games as library pages 279, 276 and 284 (Kids) and 250-252, 259-260 and 268 (Family). Full plans: host p7 and p8.

WHAT IS INSIDE (56 activities; each bingo deck and the trivia set counts once, and Table Talk's four decks count as one collection, and the Letter/A4/low-ink editions are the same activities, not extra ones)

HOW IT WORKS
Extract the Start Here ZIP first. For the fastest setup, open the Quick-Print folder, open your chosen short packet and print all its pages. For the full library, open the host guide: its index shows which guest pages hold each activity and where to find the rules and answers. Keep the host file to yourself, because it holds the answers.

LEFT/RIGHT STORIES
Two original read-aloud passing stories for 4-30 passing players plus a separate reader, with 39 cues and frequent reversals in each. Use one soft token for 4-12 players; for 13-30, start three tokens as evenly spaced around the circle as possible. Every token moves one seat on every LEFT or RIGHT, with a pause for each pass. At THE END, every final holder wins an imaginary prize. Allow about 4-5 minutes per story, including pauses.

GOOD TO KNOW
This is a digital download; nothing is shipped. These are ready-to-print PDFs, not editable templates, apart from the blank Table Talk cards and the invitation fields, which you can type into with a PDF reader. The Etsy app cannot download files: use a web browser at etsy.com, under Your account > Purchases. Paper and printer settings can affect colors. Some party games need pencils, scissors, a timer, a die and bingo tokens. For personal use at your own event, classroom or group. Please do not resell or share the files.
