Thanksgiving Day Activities

 
 

This annual holiday is observed as a day to commemorate the Pilgrim's harvest of 1621, to give thanks for blessings great and small, and to have fun!  The festivities need not be elaborate…just an opportunity for some fun quality time. One important thing to remember when playing games is that all the children should be "rewarded" equally for participating or winning.

Visit Thanksgiving Party Theme ideas section of our Party Ideas. Many of these classic games can be converted to tie in to a Thanksgiving/harvest theme with a simple name or prop change. Try one of the following:

  • "Pin the Tail on the Donkey" – "Pin the Wattle on the Turkey"
  • "Duck, Duck, Goose" – "Turkey, Turkey, Stuffing"
  • "Hot Potato" – "Hot Turkey" (with a stuffed animal turkey)
  • "Musical Hats" – "Musical Pilgrim Hats"
  • "Bingo" – use candy corn as game pieces
  • "Dress Up Relay" – Use simple scarecrow, Native American or Pilgrim costumes.
  • "Ring Toss" – "Ring around the Gourd" (assign different point values to different sizes of gourds, pumpkins or dried Indian corn.
  • "Three Legged or Sack Races" – Add an autumnal touch by creating an obstacle course using pumpkins, corn stalks, and bales of hay.
  • Turkey Calling Contest – Host a turkey calling contest, complete with lots of squawking, flapping, wattle shaking, and pecking. Give each participant a prize with a fun distinction: "loudest turkey", "most authentic", "most likely to be spared", "cutest turkey", etc. This activity can also be turned into a relay race with the class split into two teams. Loud, but fun! (Ages 4-Adult)
  • Turkey Bowling -  The turkey will definitely be tenderized after participating in this game! Use a frozen turkey in place of a bowling ball (one that comes packaged with a handle attached) in a size that is appropriate for the age of the children. The frozen turkey is hurled at a set of bowling pins (use the real thing, tall wooden blocks or plastic milk bottles filled with stones). One parent helper can reset the pins after each turn. This game is a big hit with every crowd! (Ages 5-Adult)
  • Balloon Popping Contest – Divide the children into two equal groups. Place two bags of inflated harvest colored Balloons about 25 yards away . These balloons should be over-inflated to make popping easier. At the sound of a bell, the first two relay contestants, one from each team, run to the bag, and remove one balloon. Each must sit on it until it pops. Once the balloon pops, the players run back to the starting line and tag the next player in line. The first team to complete the course wins. If you have children who are afraid of the sound of popping balloons, offer a grown-up stand-in. Not a quiet game…but a guaranteed favorite! (Ages 4-Adult)
  • Pass the Corn – Divide the children into two teams and have them
