The American Corner brought the spirit of Thanksgiving to life on November 27, 2025, with a lively celebration filled with games, food, and heartfelt moments of gratitude. Students, and community members gathered to experience the warmth and cultural significance of the holiday.

A major highlight of the event was the series of Thanksgiving-themed games. Participants enjoyed 𝑷𝒍𝒖𝒄𝒌 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒖𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒚 𝑻𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒂, a challenge where players answered trivia questions to earn the chance to “pluck” feathers from a turkey. The excitement grew during the 𝑾𝒉𝒐 𝑨𝒎 𝑰? game, where participants guessed the answer or acted out clues based on the question given, creating plenty of laughter and energetic interaction. Another meaningful activity was 𝑨𝒕𝒕𝒂𝒄𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑭𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓, where guests wrote what they were thankful for on colorful paper feathers and attached them to a large turkey display, forming a beautiful wall of gratitude.

The celebration also featured a 𝒇𝒐𝒐𝒅-𝒕𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒆𝒈𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕, bringing everyone together to enjoy classic Thanksgiving dishes. Attendees bonded over good food and warm conversations, highlighting the holiday’s true essence: connection, appreciation, and community.
