Thanksgiving is a heart-warming holiday to spend with family. But if you're looking to spend time with friends this holiday, then here are some activities you can do to make it more eventful at your Friendsgiving.
Playing board or card games
Playing board or card games with your friends is not only a good way to create enjoyable moments like eagerly waiting for someone to call out, "Uno!" or nervously anticipating who will crash the tower of Jenga, but you also get to create a stronger bond. Board games are also convenient and easy to bring to your friends' homes. Games you can consider playing with your friends include Jenga, Uno, Monopoly, Game of Life, Operation, Connect 4 and Scrabble.
Making arts & crafts
Creating arts and crafts, such as hand turkeys, are special to create with friends when in the end, everyone looks over at their own unique interpretation of a turkey. After everyone finishes their craft, the finishing pieces can be used as decorations for Thanksgiving dinner or kept as an impressionable memory. Arts and crafts you can make with your friends are hand turkeys, paper pilgrim hats and fall leaf crowns.
Cooking meals with friends
If you and your friends want to save money this Friendsgiving, you should consider cooking a meal together. Any dish, no matter how simple or difficult, will suffice. Even if you don't have the best cooking skills or the dish doesn't end up tasting the best, it's an accomplishment when you finish cooking the meal together and are admiring all the work and time that went into making the dish. Simple dishes you and your friends can cook together are mashed potatoes, pie, macaroni and cheese and stuffing.
Complete a puzzle
If playing games or watching movies isn't enough for you during your Friendsgiving, then maybe you and your friends would prefer something challenging like creating a puzzle. There are different types of puzzles that are options like a simple 20-piece puzzle or maybe even a jigsaw puzzle that can take more persistence and time. In the end, you can keep your accomplishment in the form of a finished puzzle or you can destroy the puzzle and put it back in the box to complete again another time.
Watching sports
Another activity to do is watch sports. Almost everyone has heard of at least one sports team. Well, this Friendsgiving, you have amazing opportunities to watch the World Cup or NFL football games. Watching sports together could have people cheering for the same team or can create a small rivalry between fans rooting for different teams.
Watching movies
Friendsgiving is something that allows friends to come closer, and nothing brings people together more than watching a movie that everyone can enjoy. Here are some amazing movies to watch during Friendsgiving. Watching any Disney movie would be a great choice. Some Disney movies to watch are any Marvel movie, "Star Wars" and "Frozen." Pixar classics such as "Shrek" and "How to Train Your Dragon" are also recommended.
Playing Video Games
Something that friends can enjoy together is playing some video games. Some video games to enjoy together are Mario Kart or Mario Party. Mario Kart is a great choice because you can race against one another and enjoy some lovely competition. Another great choice is Call of Duty, which allows you to play with another person. While it is a little violent, it still allows you to have those great moments.
Foods to bring
I know we talked about cooking meals with friends, but what about dishes to bring to Friendsgiving? Now everyone has different likes and dislikes of food, but one possible option that everyone can enjoy is pumpkin pie. It’s something that almost everyone has tried or heard about. Another great option is baking cookies. Any cookie brand would be something that many would like because you get to have something sweet if you don’t like pumpkin pie.
These are just a few excellent choices of things to do, watch or cook during your Friendsgiving. Hope you enjoy your time with friends!
