When November hits, everyone's mind is circling around all things Thanksgiving! But the month also brings another special occasion: Friendsgiving! Usually taking place either a few days before or after the actual date of Thanksgiving—Friendsgiving is essentially a replica of the official November holiday. (Just swap out your family for some of your best friends!) And if you're the one hosting it this year, you're going to want to find a few ways to make it extra fun. Which is why we curated a list of the best Friendsgiving games, which are sure to make this day the best one yet.

So, breaking the ice with the games on this list is a great way to start! There are a few friend questionnaire themed games, such as The Best Friend Game and The Voting Game. There are also some festive Thanksgiving games on this list, such as Thanksgiving Charades and a turkey version of bean toss, that really help keep the holiday vibe going.

If you thought you were competitive before, just wait 'til you play a round of Taboo with your friends. Dividing everyone into two teams, one person from each side gets a card with a keyword on it. The chosen player must help their team guess the word. Though, under the keyword are listed "Taboo" words, which are specific adjectives the chosen player must stay away from when helping their team.

Similar to Taboo, different teams are assigned words that their chosen leader has to help them guess. Catch Phrase spruces things up a bit by putting teams on a timer, switching to the next word as soon as each one is guessed. Whichever team has the most amount of words guessed after each timed round, wins!
