How to Play Truth or Dare

Print these Thanksgiving themed truth or dare cards and cut them out.

I like to print on cardstock and laminate them so they last longer! Mix the cards together.

Take turns playing.

When it is your turn, pick truth or a dare! If you choose truth, then you must answer the question on the card, and if you choose dare you must complete the dare.

If a person refuses to answer the truth or complete the dare, then you can give them some kind of penalty, like 25 jumping jacks, or no talking for 10 minutes. That’s it! There’s really no “winner” of this game, it’s just fun to play and sparks all kinds of laughter!
