Unique Thanksgiving Games
Turkey Bowling(Ages 3-8)
On Thanksgiving Day, we have a family tradition. We play the “Turkey Games.” It’s basically a bunch of Thanksgiving games and friendly competition amongst our family and friends of all ages. As the table is being set and Thanksgiving dinner is cooking, it’s a really fun way to spend time together. This year, we’re trying out a new event: Turkey Bowling. My kids had a blast creating and playing this DIY game. Plus, the scoring brings a little math and learning to the fun. Strike!
Thanksgiving Pictionary(Ages 3-11)
Sometimes my kids get a little restless on Thanksgiving as the grownups are preoccupied with getting that special meal onto the table. We ended up DIY’ing a Thanksgiving pictionary game that would be a perfect way to spend some time before – or after – the meal.
Pumpkin of Gratitude(Ages 5-11)
My daughter brought home a pumpkin similar to this one from school. We loved the concept. So, as a family, we decided that we would each create a pumpkin of gratitude to explicitly recognize that we have so much to be thankful for. We are truly fortunate. This project is simple, but it turns out beautifully. I hope that we continue making pumpkins of gratitude as a tradition in years to come.
Cranberry Catapult(Ages 5-16)
We love catapults around here at KiwiCo. That’s why we make two types of catapults: the Basketball Catapult and the Arcade Catapult. Launching things is endless entertainment! This particular cranberry catapult includes a nod to the Fall season and Thanksgiving. Cranberries make for the perfect ammunition. We tried pom poms too, and they worked just as well (or even mini marshmallows left over from the sweet potato casserole!)
Wishing a safe and happy Thanksgiving to you and your family from all of us at KiwiCo!
