Family Mural After the table has been cleared off pull out a big sheet of paper and spread it out on the table.
Lay out lots of different style markers in various colors.
Invite the family to draw pictures or write something on what family means to them.
It works best if you have them join as partners and collaborate together.
No matter how good or bad their artistic skills are encourage everyone to put their own personal stamp on this mural.
Take pictures of everyone there and print them out with your printer (regular paper is fine).
Then cut out their faces and attach them to the mural.
This piece of work will become a great keepsake for years to come.
Family Memory Charades This is a classic game that is great for bringing a family together and lots of fun.
In normal charades one team members act out something like the names of famous people, places or even historical events.
Their fellow team members try to guess what they are acting out.
In this Family Memory Charades, it is all about family memories.
Ahead of time you need to think about special events, memories, milestones..
..
that have occurred in the lives of family members.
Write these down on pieces of paper.
Fold these pieces of paper and have them available for the players to choose when it's time to play the game.
To play: divide everyone into two teams.
The first team up selects one person and they have a limited time to act out the memory event that only they have been given to read on a piece of paper.
While acting out the event they can't speak-only act.
If the speak they are disqualified and the other team gets a point.
While they act out the event they can use signals to let their team members know how they are doing.
Starting off they can show fingers to represent how many words are in the event they will be acting out.
They can also touch their nose every time someone guesses a correct word.
Finally they can pull their ear lobe which means "sounds like.
" If their team correctly guesses the event they within the allotted time (say 3 minutes) they get one point.
If the team cannot guess correctly the opposing team gets one guess.
If their guess is correct they can win the point.
Now it is the opposing team's turn to act out an event and try to guess it.
The game can last as long as you like-just be sure to give everyone a chance to act out an event.
These are two great games that work well every time to bring families together.
They are perfect Thanksgiving games that will create memories that will endure for years.
