Thanksgiving games

Festive family activities

Thanksgiving games are activities played during the American holiday, typically while the extended family gathers.

These range from backyard football to board games to competitions devised for the occasion.

The term also refers to NFL games broadcast on Thanksgiving Day, a tradition since 1934: We always watch the Thanksgiving games after dinner.
