Taboo
This is an interesting adult game in which the guests are divided into two groups with equal number of members. Prepare some cards with different terms written on them. Then, choose one person from each team to pick the card and explain the word written on the card to his team mates. However, he or she should not use the taboo words which are listed on the card. In case he uses one, a point will be added to the opponent team. The card must be hidden to the team and visible to at least one member of the opposing team so that they know when the taboo word is spoken. The team which guesses as many words as possible in 60 seconds wins the game. The cards are then passed on to the next person.

The third player repeats the sentence by adding another dish as "At Thanksgiving dinner I ate turkey, cranberry, and stuffing". The game goes on with each person adding one dish to the sentence after repeating the previous items, in the same order in which they were said.
