Grab our 32 free printable Thanksgiving conversation cards as you spend quality time at the dinner table this holiday season.
There’s nothing like good conversation around the Thanksgiving table. This time of year we always like to show gratitude, but sometimes depending on the friends and family members that are around…well there may awkward silence. So having the printable cards is a easy way to jump start the meaningful conversations without anyone feeling weird. It’s by far one of the greatest Thanksgiving traditions we have started.
If you are looking for games, we have Pictionary that has Thanksgiving questions/clues that is such a fun game that will have the whole family laughing! Would you rather is also a good time that younger kids will definitely like. While some may seem like conversation starters, they have silly questions.
It’s also a good idea to download our printable Thanksgiving activity placemats to keep those little hands busy while they wait for their meal.

✨How to Use the Conversation Starters During Your Thanksgiving Meal
There are a couple of ways to use the cards.
You can turn it into a game to play before or after the Thanksgiving feast. Or you can cut the cards out and put them at each place setting next to name cards. Throughout dinner go around the table and let each person answer their own question.
Feel free place the cards in the center of the table and draw one by one and have each person answer every question versus giving everyone a different question.
This is also a great activity that can be adjusted for a friendsgiving celebration as well.

💡Helpful Tips
- We love laminating our Thanksgiving conversation starter cards to make them last longer.
- For the best quality use a nice heavy white card stock, but you can also use regular paper too.
- Check ink levels before printing. No home printer? Local print shops can help, and they are usually reasonably priced or you can check an online print shop.
- If you need another size other than US Letter, check your printer settings.
- When little kids are playing, you may need to help them read some of the questions.
We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and that these cards spark a new tradition! I feel like family time is even more important through the holidays and this gratitude activity also helps kids to make meaningful connections and look up to the adults as they go around and talk. Don’t each too much turkey and pumpkin pie! What’s your favorite part of Thanksgiving?
