✨Thanksgiving Pictionary Game Instructions
There are 3 ways that you can use the Thanksgiving Pictionary cards. For starters, you want to split everyone into teams and place cards face down.
The basic idea is similar to the classic game of Pictionary, set a timer for 60 seconds. One person will choose a card and then draw it out. If the team members guesses correctly within the time frame, they win a point. If not, the opposing team gets one guess. If they get it, they will steal the point.
OR
See how many cards the team can guess in 60 seconds. One person can keep acting/drawing or people in the team switch off based on who guesses correctly whoever guesses correctly takes the next card.
Acting (Thanksgiving Charades)
Choose a team to go first, this team will pick a player from their team to act out the prompt on the card they pull.
When you say “GO”, that player pulls a card and acts out the word to their the rest of the players on their team (no talking, props, or no pointing).

Act or Draw – Coin Toss
Play a combination of the games above. Toss a coin before choosing a card. Decide what heads and tails will be, then play as directed.
*Remember that all of the different words are related to fall and Thanksgiving compared to regular Pictionary words that could be anything.
