Thanksgiving This or That

Play This or That

Question 1 of 10

This or that?

Tap a side, or press 1 or 2

These 30 Thanksgiving this or that questions cover the whole table: turkey or ham, stuffing or mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie or apple pie, canned cranberry sauce or homemade. There are a few about the day itself too, like watching the parade or playing football. They're quick and family-friendly for the dinner table, a classroom the week before the break, or the drive there.

Pick one, and once a question has 10 answers you'll see how players split, with the number of votes. Pass a phone around the table and see who agrees with the crowd.

This or That: questions and answers

How do you play This or That?

Someone reads two options and everyone picks one, fast, without overthinking. Start with "Turkey or ham?" Here you tap a side (or press 1 or 2), and once a question has 10 answers the split shows right after your pick.

Are these questions OK for school?

Yes. All 30 questions in Thanksgiving This or That are written to be school-safe: nothing scary, gross beyond silly, or mean, and no dating, politics or religion. They suit classrooms, youth groups, family game night and team calls.

What do the percentages mean?

Each split is the share of players on BracketRanker who picked each side, with n, the number of answers. A question shows a split once it has 10 answers, marked "early" until it has 30; before that you see how many answers it has so far. Big Screen and classroom votes are counted separately, so one room can't swamp the numbers.

Can I play these on a big screen or in class?

Yes. "Play on the big screen" shows one question at a time in a projector-sized layout. The room votes by show of hands, or with 1 or 2 in a stream chat, and the host taps the winning side.

How many questions are on this page?

30 on this page, all listed above. Play 10 or 20 in a random order, or go through every one.
