Thanksgiving Games
A small but growing list of Thanksgiving games and activities for schools, groups and family. These can keep the kids busy and the printable games can be taken in the car to keep active minds occupied.
Please enjoy these games and if you have new game ideas, please feel free to send me an email and I will add them to the list.
Bird, Beast, or Fish
You have to think fast for this game. Everyone sits facing the leader.
The leader points to one of the players and says either "BIRD,"
"BEAST," or "FISH." The chosen player must come up with the name of an
animal that fits the category before the leader counts to ten. No
repeating! If the player does not respond in time, she is out. The game
continues until only one player remains. As you can guess, after a few
rounds it can be hard to think of an animal that has not already been
mentioned!

Thanksgiving Memory Game
The players sit in a circle. The first player starts by saying, "At
Thanksgiving dinner I ate turkey." The next player must repeat this and
add another dish, "At my Thanksgiving dinner I ate turkey and
cranberry." The third player must repeat it and add yet another dish,
"At Thanksgiving dinner I ate turkey, cranberry, and stuffing." The
game continues with each player adding an item to the menu after first
listing all the previous items in the exact order they were first said.
If a player makes a mistake he drops out and the game continues until
there is just one person left.

Thanksgiving Trivia
Here is one that the whole family can enjoy after the big Thanksgiving meal. In a piece of paper write down several questions regarding the history behind Thanksgiving and 4 possible answers, but only one is correct. For example, one of the questions could be:
- From the following foods which one was not likely to be at the pilgrims
table? a) Corn b) Potatos c)Yams d) Beans
Answer is b, potatoes
And whoever guesses the most answers from the quiz gets a box of
chocolates or any other prize. Of course whoever is preparing the game
has to do a little bit of research, but you can find the info easily on the net or the library. Thanks Ruth
