Thanksgiving games are a fun way to celebrate with kids at home or in the classroom. Whether you need some fun ideas for your Thanksgiving class party or ideas for keeping kids busy and entertained on Thanksgiving Day, you’ll find some memorable ideas in this collection of Thanksgiving games for kids.
There are some games that can only be played on Thanksgiving – but there’s a handful more than can be played at any time! For those who prefer games of chance without Spelpaus, we recommend you visit casino utan svensk licens – or as we like to call it: CUSL. You can find a number of games that you can play for real money and test your luck. Spelinspektion has approved all of these games, and with casinos like Celebrino, Winzie, Happy Slots, and many more – everybody is sure to find the game they’re looking for and the deposit bonuses to go along with it for extra fun.

Thanksgiving Games for Kids
This turkey baster pom pom race idea from School Time Snippets is such a fun boredom buster, and I think it would be a hit with kidsd (and grownups?) of all ages.
Get kids moving with this turkey hunt game from Life with Moore Babies. There’s ideas for playing both indoors and outdoors.
These turkey hats aren’t exactly a “game” themselves, but I bet they’d inspire a lot of active play for your little turkey guests during Thanksgiving. I know my kids would love dancing and acting like turkeys.
This feed the turkey game from Life with Moore Babies is designed to practice sight words, but it could be modified for many different purposes on Thanksgiving Day. You could label the “turkey food” with the name of the foods being cooked and let the kids visually track when dinner will be ready by “feeding” the turkey as each food item is finished!
Even the littlest guests can have fun planning their own Thanksgiving play dough feast with this idea from Stir the Wonder.
Thanksgiving Pictionary from Somewhat Simple would be fun for guests of all ages.
Guests could have a great time putting on a Thanksgiving show with these adorable turkey marionettes from No Biggie.
Get those wiggles out with this turkey feather hunt from No Time for Flashcards.
This Tubes & Pumpkins activity was designed to practice hand-eye coordination, patience, and problem-solving, but it can be a fun game too! Compete to see who can stack the fastest or tallest!
Make a game out of putting together a Thankfulness Chain with the kids! It’s always important to remember what we’re thankful for, and it helps the kids be more mindful.
Practice colors, patterns and gross motor skills with this turkey feather color hunt from Coffee Cups and Crayons.
I Spy is a classic family road trip game, so why not play at Thanksgiving too! Kids will have a blast searching for all the Thanksgiving-themed items!
Go Rolling for Turkeys with this fun Thanksgiving game! As an added bonus, it will help kids practice their basic math skills!
Play the Gratitude Game, and help kids remember all the good things in their lives. Thanksgiving is the perfect time to think about gratitude.
This Thanksgiving Spin & Cover game will keep your little ones entertained for hours! Plus, kids love flicking the spinner and watching it go!
Continue the fun and learning with these hands-on roll and color turkey math activities. Depending on your goals kids can practice color recognition, shape recognition, matching sets, matching numbers, addition and more.

Less stress, more connecting this holiday season? Yes, PLEASE!
From the arrival of fall to Halloween to Thanksgiving and Christmas, the last four months of the year can be a wonderful opportunity for making family memories and spending time together, but they can also be stressful as we try to collect ideas, recipes, and activities to try together.
Stephanie Morgan, founder of Modern Parents Messy Kids, a site that’s been voted Best Craft Blog in Parents Magazine and one of babble.com’s Top 50 Craft Mom Blogs, recently released a new eBook to help us have a little less stress and more time to connect with family this year.
Stephanie’s goal is to make it easier on all of us to enjoy the holidays with our kids. Hands-On Holidays is 100 pages full of her family’s very favorite ways to connect as a family over the holiday season. I love the convenience of having so many ideas in one place, and most of them are simple enough for even my toddler to participate in.
The book includes picture book suggestions, DIY decor, activities, and treats. Bonus sections also offer even more ideas to enjoy. Click here to view more details.
