List of Thanksgiving Games for Kids

Turkey Hunt
Turkey hunt is damn interesting for kids, as they not only get the opportunity to play, but also eat. It's also a cooperative game for kids. First, you need to keep a small turkey, stuffed and roasted well. Each participant has to leave the room when his turn comes to give his den. The rest of the teammate then hide the turkey behind some obscure places. The den then enters the room after certain time and has to find out the turkey from the gobbling sound made by kids while eating the turkey.

Cornucopia Confusion
It's a unique group game for kids, where they are given names of vegetables and fruits. Each child gets a name like corn, mango, tomato, apple, turkey, cranberry, etc. Children form a circle headed by a team leader. The group head calls out two leaders, hearing which children are supposed to switch places immediately. The leaders cheer by uttering a phrase loudly. For example, 'the cornucopia has tipped over'. The players stand immediately and race for a new place. One who fails loses the game.

Pumpkin Racing
Celebrating Thanksgiving without pumpkin games is like the sky without the sun. It's one of the most enjoyable party games for kids. For this, you will require two pumpkins of same sizes and two sticks. Make sure you do not get huge pumpkins that will be difficult for children to roll.
