About this resource

Poorly Described Thanksgiving Dinner is a hilarious screen game where classic Thanksgiving dishes are described in the most unusual, confusing, or unnecessarily dramatic way possible - and your group has to guess what food it's talking about before the answer is revealed on the next slide. There are lots of ways you can use this game in kids or youth ministry, but here's an idea to get you started: Play it lightning-round style with two teams. Read the bizarre description out loud first, then flash the slide. The first team to buzz in with the right answer earns a point - wrong answers lose a point to keep things interesting. This game also makes a great setup for a message about gratitude or seeing things from a new perspective. Just like those confusing food descriptions only make sense once you know what they're really describing, sometimes we misunderstand what's right in front of us - including the good things in our lives. Gratitude and contentment help us see clearly, appreciate what we have, and rethink situations we might overlook or complain about.
