A 30-minute Thanksgiving game break
Start with a gratitude icebreaker, play one main game, and end on time. If people are spread across countries, say what Thanksgiving is in one line: a US and Canadian holiday about food, family and gratitude. Then keep the games about fall and food, not trivia only Americans know.
- 0–5 min
Gratitude icebreaker
Two Truths, One Lie, played with things people are thankful for.
- 5–20 min
Main game
Scribble with Thanksgiving words for big groups, or Taboo in two teams for 4 to 12 people.
- 20–28 min
Quick round: This or That
Fast picks between two options. Read out the closest votes.
- 28–30 min
Send-off
Thank people for the year and let them start the long weekend early.
Hosting tips: send the link in the calendar invite as well as the chat, give people a minute to set their name and avatar, and keep the camera grid visible so everyone can see the reactions.

Questions
What are good Thanksgiving games for work?
Short games that don’t need preparation: a gratitude version of Two Truths, One Lie, a quick This or That round, a drawing game like Scribble with Thanksgiving words, and a holiday trivia round. Keep it to 30 minutes, the week of the holiday.
How do we include coworkers who don’t celebrate Thanksgiving?
Keep the themes about fall, food and gratitude rather than US history, explain the holiday in a sentence, and make the session optional. The games work the same for everyone.
Can we play on Microsoft Teams or Zoom?
Yes. TeamBridge runs in the browser: share the lobby link in the meeting chat and keep the call open for talking.
How many people can play?
From 3 to 100 or more, depending on the game. This or That, Scribble and Trivia work well for large groups; Taboo and Codenames for 4 to 12.
Is it free?
The free games can be played with free credits. Premium games such as Trivia, Taboo and This or That need a plan; see the options below.
