This post may contain affiliate links, please read our affiliate disclosure.
If you’re looking for a lighthearted way to add some fun to your Thanksgiving celebration, say hello to the “What’s Your Turkey Name?” game. You’ve probably seen one of these before.
They are a printable name generator that turns everyone at the table into a hilariously named turkey. It’s the kind of simple, printable fun that takes just minutes to set up and keeps kids (and adults) entertained while the turkey finishes roasting.
What Is the “What’s Your Turkey Name?” Game?
This printable thanksgiving game is part name generator, part party icebreaker, and all-out Thanksgiving fun.
Each player uses the Turkey Name Generator to discover their unique Thanksgiving alter ego, think Salty Wattleton or Gobbler McTurkey. Once they’ve found their new name, they can proudly wear it on one of the printable name badges included in the download.
It’s quick, easy, and just the right amount of silly fun for a family get-together.
What’s Included:
- 8.5×11 What’sYour Turkey name – name generator
- 8.5×11 PDF blank “My Turkey Name Is..” name tags
Supplies Needed:
Below are some supplies that I recommend to grab to get the best out of your printable Turkey name game!
- Bright White Cardstock (not required but makes it pretty!)
- Printer (I love this HP ink tank)
- Double-sided tape or safety pins to attach the name tag to clothing.
- Scissors
How to Play
- Download and print the game sheet and name badges. You’ll just need a printer and some scissors, no feathers required.
- Hand out the Turkey Name Generator page. Or pop it in a photoframe and display it for everyone to see.
- Find your turkey name! Each player uses the first letter of their first name and the month they were born to discover their official Thanksgiving Turkey identity.
- Write it on a name badge and stick it on your shirt. Suddenly, you’re no longer Morgan, but you will forevermore be known as Gizzard Gobblestein!
It’s a perfect fun little activity for families, classrooms, and even Friendsgiving dinners when everyone could use a laugh before the food coma hits.
