Thanksgiving is right around the corner. A time that is traditionally about celebrating both family and friends. But this year looks different than in times past. During this challenging time, families are asked to social distance or even refrain from gathering in large groups. But you can still celebrate and enjoy each other by playing games, both across the table or in a zoom call.

Unscramble the Thanksgiving words with this free PDF Thanksgiving Word Scramble printable. To play, each player attempts to decipher 20 words associated with Thanksgiving before the timer ends.
Overview
How well do you know your Thanksgiving words? Be the first to unscramble all 20 jumbled words.
Family is not near? You can still play this game via Zoom or the preferred video chat of your choice. They only need to print enough sheets for those at their end, and all parties can play together and enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving event!
Game Set Up
Each player needs a copy of the game and a pen. A suggestion is that everyone has the paper face down until the game begins to keep it fair for everyone.
A timer is also needed, whether on a phone or the oven, if it isn’t already working overtime counting down until dinner is complete!
Notes on Printing
You’ll notice I’ve included 2 copies of the same page. You can choose to print as normal, and one game will print per sheet. BUT, if you’re like me or this is a last minute print and you’re running low on printer paper, you can print 2 pages per sheet.
If you’re playing with youngers, the lines on may be too small, but for the rest of us, there is plenty of room to write.
How to Play
Set a timer (suggested 5 minutes). Players turn over their paper and begin guessing the thanksgiving themed words. When the timer ends, players must put down their pens, even if not finished.
Winning the Game
Check responses against the included answer sheet. The player with the most correct answers wins the game.
