Check out all these great ideas for fun Thanksgiving games for children! These are great for family gatherings and also to help pass the time waiting for dinner and guests!
Apple Paring Game
Kids will love the challenge of this Thanksgiving games for children and the added bonus of their efforts...a scrumptious apple pie.
Materials Needed:
Potato peelers
Paring knives
Apples
How to play
Using the peeler (kids) or knife (adults only), see who can produce the longest unbroken strip of apple skin.
For an added challenge, see who can produce one that is both the narrowest and longest.
Where is Mr. Turkey?
Materials Needed:
Small toy turkey
Video camera
How to play
Instead of saying "warmer...cooler" you gobble?
One player is the hunter and the others are helpers. The hunter leaves the room. The helpers hide a small toy turkey.
The hunter returns with a mission to find the turkey.
Helpers give clues by "gobbling" like turkeys. If the hunter is not close, the helpers gobble very quietly. As the hunter gets closer, the helpers gobble more and more loudly until Mr. Turkey is found!
Don't forget the video camera!
Turkey Strut
Materials Needed:
Masking tape
Music
How to play
Use pieces of masking tape to make turkey footprints all over the floor.
Start playing some music.
Let the children pretend to be turkeys and strut around the room.
When you stop the music, have the turkeys find footprints to stand on (one turkey to a footprint).
When you start the music again, have the turkeys continue strutting around the room.
Thanksgiving Dress-Up Relay
Materials Needed:
Chairs
Pilgrim or Native American costume
How to play
Children line up into two teams behind the starting line.
Across the room are two chairs with a Pilgrim or Native American costume on each one.
At the starting signal, the first child on each team runs to the chair, puts on the costume, sits down and says "Happy Thanksgiving"!
They then take all the items off and run back to tag the next person in line.
Each person repeats these actions until all have had a turn. The team who finishes first is the winner.
Popcorn Relay Race
Materials Needed:
Popcorn
Measuring cup
How to play
This is a bit messy, but well worth it to see relatives young and old playing together!
Set out bowls full of popcorn at one end of the room and empty bowls at another.
Teams must transport the popcorn from full bowl to empty, using a measuring cup.
Note: popcorn is a choking hazard for children under three!
