Full disclosure: Many of these free virtual Thanksgiving party ideas are made with AhaSlides. You can use AhaSlides' interactive presentation, quizzing and polling software to create your own online Thanksgiving activities for absolutely free.
Check out the ideas below and set the standard with your virtual Thanksgiving party!
Idea 1: PowerPoint Party
The old double Ps of Thanksgiving may have been 'pumpkin pie', but in today's age of online and hybrid gatherings, they now stand best for 'PowerPoint Party'.
Don't think PowerPoint can be as engaging as pumpkin pie? Well, that's a very old-world attitude. In the new world, PowerPoint festak are all the rage and have become a fantastic addition to any virtual holiday party.
Essentially, this activity involves your guests making a hilarious Thanksgiving presentation and then presenting it over Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet. The big points go to hilarious, insightful and creatively made presentations, with a vote at the end of each one.
Nola egin:

- Set a time limit (5-10 minutes) and/or slide limit (8-12 slides) to ensure presentations don't go on forever.
- Zure Thanksgiving festa birtualaren eguna denean, utzi pertsona bakoitzak bere PowerPoint-ak txandaka aurkezten.
- At the end of each presentation, have a 'scales' slide on which the audience can vote on different aspects of the presentation (funniest, most creative, best designed, etc.).
- Idatzi markak eta eman sariak kategoria bakoitzeko aurkezpen onenari!

💡 Hosting a Hybrid Thanksgiving Party?
These activities work perfectly whether everyone joins remotely or you have some guests in-person and others on video. With AhaSlides, both in-person and remote participants join via their phones, ensuring equal participation regardless of location.

Idea 3: Who's Thankful?
We all know the pilgrims were thankful for corn, God and, to a much lesser extent, Native American heritage. But what are the guests of your virtual Thanksgiving party thankful for?
Well, Who's Thankful? Let's spread the gratitude through hilarious pictures. It's essentially Pictionary, but with another layer.
It starts by asking your guests to each draw something for which they're thankful before the day of your virtual Thanksgiving party. Reveal these at the party and pose two questions: Who's thankful? And what are they thankful for?
Nola egin:
- Gather one hand-drawn picture from each guest of your party (send them a reminder a few days before).
- Kargatu argazki hori AhaSlides-en 'irudi' edukiaren diapositiba batera.
- Create a 'multiple choice' slide afterwards with "Who's Thankful?" as the title and the names of your guests as the answers.
- Create an 'open-ended' slide after that with "What are they Thankful for?" as the title.
- Award 1 point to anyone who guessed the right artist and 1 point to anyone who guessed what the drawing represents.
- Optionally, give a bonus point for the most hilarious answer to "What are they Thankful for?"

Idea 4: Homemade Cornucopia
The cornucopia, the traditional centrepiece of the Thanksgiving table, deserves a place in your virtual celebration too. Making a few budget cornucopias can go some way to keeping that tradition alive.
Baliabide bikainak daude sarean, bereziki hau, xehetasun hori batez besteko etxeko janarietatik oso erraz, haur eta helduentzako kornukopia nola egin.
Nola egin:
- Get all of your guests to buy ice cream cones and Thanksgiving-based, or just orange, candy. (I know we said 'free virtual Thanksgiving party ideas', but we're sure your guests could fork out £2 each for this one).
- Eskerrak emateko egunean, guztiek eramaten dituzte ordenagailu eramangarriak sukaldera.
- Jarraitu batera buruzko argibide sinpleekin Eguneroko DIY bizitza.
- Show off your completed cornucopias on camera and vote for the most creative one!
💡 Pro Aholkua: This works brilliantly as a warm-up activity whilst everyone joins the call.
Idea 5: Give Thanks
We can always use more positivity and gratitude. This super simple activity for your virtual Thanksgiving party delivers both in abundance.
Regardless of who you're throwing your Thanksgiving bash for, there's likely to have been a few standout players of late. You know, the ones who keep positivity flowing and keep everyone as connected as possible.
Well, it's time to pay them back. A simple hodei hitza pertsona horiei beren lankideek, familiak edo lagunek zenbat estimatzen duten erakutsi diezaieke.
Nola egin:
- Create a word cloud slide on AhaSlides with the title "Who are you most thankful for?"
- Lortu jendeak oso eskertuta dauden pertsona baten edo gehiagoren izenak plazaratzea.
- Gehien aipatzen diren izenak erdian testu handiagoetan agertuko dira. Izenak gero eta txikiagoak dira erdigunetik zenbat eta gutxiago aipatu.
- Take a screenshot to share with everyone afterwards as a keepsake!
💡 For work teams: This activity works beautifully as a team recognition moment, celebrating colleagues who've gone above and beyond.

Idea 6: Scavenger Hunt
Ah the humble scavenger hunt, a staple of many North American households during Thanksgiving.
Out of all the virtual Thanksgiving ideas here, this is one of the best to adapt from the offline world. It involves nothing more than a scavenger list and some eagle-eyed partygoers.
We've already dealt with 50% of this activity for you! Check out the scavenger hunt list below!
Nola egin:
- Erakutsi parrandazaleei zurbilaren bila zerrenda (ahal duzu hementxe deskargatu)
- "Joan" esaten duzunean, bakoitza bere etxea arakatzen hasten da zerrendako elementuen bila.
- Elementuek ez dute zertan zerrendako elementu zehatzak izan; hurbilketa hurbilak onargarriak baino gehiago dira (hau da, beisbol txano baten inguruan loturiko gerriko bat erromes txanoaren ordez).
- Elementu bakoitzaren hurbilketa nahikoa duen lehenak irabazten du!
💡 Aholku profesionala: Have everyone keep their cameras on so you can see the hilarious scrambling in real-time. The entertainment value is almost better than the game itself!
Idea 7: Monster Turkey
Great for teaching English and great for virtual Thanksgiving parties; Monster Turkey has it all.
This one involves using a free whiteboard tool to draw 'monster turkeys'. These are turkeys with numerous limbs that are determined by the roll of a dice.
Hau ezin hobea da haurrak entretenitzeko, baina baita irabazlea ere (ahal bada aholku handiko) helduen artean lineako oporretan lauso tradizionala izatea nahi duten!
Nola egin:
- Joan Marraztu txata and click on "Start New Whiteboard".
- Kopiatu arbelaren esteka pertsonala orriaren behealdean eta partekatu festazaleekin.
- Make a list of turkey features (heads, legs, beaks, wings, tail feathers, etc.)
- Type /roll into the chat in the bottom-right of Draw Chat to roll the virtual dice.
- Write the resulting numbers before each turkey feature (e.g., "3 legs", "2 heads", "5 wings").
- Esleitu norbaiti indioilar munstroa zehaztutako ezaugarri kopuruarekin marrazteko.
- Errepikatu prozesu hau zure alderdikide guztientzat eta bozkatu norena izan den onena!
💡 Alternative: Can't access Draw Chat? Use any collaborative whiteboard tool like Google Jamboard, Miro, or even the whiteboard feature in Zoom.
Idea 8: Charades
Charades is just one of the old-style parlour games that has enjoyed a resurgence recently, thanks to virtual gatherings like online Thanksgiving parties.
With hundreds of years of history, there's enough tradition in Thanksgiving to come up with a long list of charades that you can play over Zoom or any video platform.
In fact, we've done that for you! Check out the charade ideas in our downloadable list and add as many others as you can think of.
Nola erabili:
- Give each person at your virtual Thanksgiving party between 3 and 5 words to perform from the list (deskargatu zerrenda hemen)
- Idatzi zenbat denbora behar duten hitz multzoa antzezteko eta hitz bakoitzari asmazio zuzena ateratzeko.
- The person with the fastest cumulative time wins!
💡 Aholku profesionala: Have everyone write their times in the chat so there's no confusion about who's winning. The competitive spirit makes this even more fun!
