Thanksgiving Day Games For Kids

• Have players seated in a large circle.

• Give each player a name that has to do with the holiday such as Turkey, Gravy, Potatoes, Pilgrim, Corn, Holiday, November, and so on.

• Have one person call the game. When the caller says two names, those two players must quickly switch seats.

• For example, if the caller says "Pilgrim and Corn", then those two player must jump up and swap seats.

• Every once in a while during the game, the caller calls out "cornucopia turnover" and everyone must jump up and find another seat.

• This game can entertain children for hours on end.

• Give each young person participating a piece of sturdy paper such as card stock.

• Then have them place their non-dominant hand on the paper and draw carefully around it with a pencil.

• Young children will require some adult help with this part.

• Then give the children crayons and let them decorate their hand print into a turkey!

• Every child loves this activity and they get a great picture to take home and show their friends.

• Print pictures of turkeys onto small note-sized cards or onto paper that you cut into card sizes.

• Hide these pictures around the house in places that are not too difficult for younger participants to find.

• Send the children on a turkey hunt, finding as many turkeys as they can in the time that you establish to play.

• Give a small prize for the most turkeys "bagged" in the hunt.

• This Thanksgiving Day Games For Kids is great for adults as well as children.

• Have guests seated in a circle or other arrangement, perhaps around the table before food is served.

• Starting with one guest and continuing around the circle until everyone has had a turn, allow each guest to tell at least one thing they are thankful for this day.

• They may have quite a few to list and, if so, let them tell them all.

• There isn't a time limit or rush and it's nice to realize how much we have to be thankful for each Thanksgiving.
