I had started a family tradition of doing Minute-to-Win-It games, and since we can't be together to share the same props, we're going to play some other fun games over Zoom after dinner. Here are some ideas:
- Heads Up! Like the classic game, make cards with objects on them (they can be Thanksgiving themed!) and everyone takes turns taping a different card to their forehead (without looking!). The person then asks everyone else questions to figure out what the object is. Make sure the person with the card on their head can't see themselves on the screen to read the card!
- Scavenger hunt: Someone calls out a description like "something round with red on it" or "something soft and bigger than your head" and everyone has to run around the house to find it. The first one back to the computer gets to call out the next item.
- Create a story: Someone begins the first sentence of a story such as, "Once upon a time a fairy named Luna rang our doorbell to tell us _______," and they call out a family member's name to say the next part of the story — and so on until the last family member finishes the story and says "The End."
- Two truths and a lie: Everyone takes turns saying three statements, two that are true and one that isn't. Everyone has to guess which one is the lie.
- What did I change? One person goes off camera, changes one thing about their appearance, and then people guess what they changed.
