When you are 8 years old and the youngest at your family's Thanksgiving table, you've got to come up with something creative to do. Here is what my daughter came up with using only the 11 name cards at our table.Guess Who?: With all of the cards lined up, using yes or no questions the guesser determines who the guessee has chosen. This is a classic low budget version of the original Guess Who? game.
Guess Who? II: All the name cards are distributed, being careful that no one gets their own. When it is your turn, you must act out the actions of the relative listed on your card while everyone else guesses who you are imitating.
And finally An Early Christmas: Cards are once again distributed and once they are, all the players are released to go "shop" throughout her grandmother's (my mom's) house for a gift for that person. Once we all return to the living room, everyone guesses which card you have, based on the gift you pilfered for them. Sadly, we were not allowed to take home our gifts.
What did you do post-turkey?

this blog does not make it sound nearly as fun as it was. with the next youngest cousin being in college, emily was looking for entertainment and had us all in stitches. it was too funny. and a great way to laugh with family.
I liked the fact that Katey commented on her FB page about it...so you know it was fun for them. Yeah, where's the pics of the action, or the dorky gifts?
