Thanksgiving Party Games That You'll Gobble Up!

When creating a fun-filled Thanksgiving birthday party or a warm, family Thanksgiving get together, here's some games with a Thanksgiving birthday flavor to consider:


THANKSGIVING NECKLACE - Have the kids create necklaces using a needle and a piece of string. Have them thread cranberries and popcorn onto the string.

HOT PUMPKIN - This game is played like the Hot Potato game except you will use a mini pumpkin. Have the kids sit in a circle and pass the mini pumpkin around the circle while music plays in the background. Periodically, stop the music and whoever is left holding the pumpkin shall be out. The game continues in the same fashion until one person remains, who is then the winner.

FLOATING PUMPKIN RELAY - Prior to the party, blow up orange balloons and draw pumpkin faces using black markers on each of them. At game time, divide the kids into two teams and line them up. Give each team an orange balloon (pumpkin). On "Go" the first player of each team runs to the finish line and back to their teammates, while batting the "pumpkin" in the air keeping it off the ground. If a "pumpkin" touches the ground, that player must return to the start line and begin again. If a balloon breaks, that player must return to the start line and obtain another "pumpkin" and begin again. Whichever teams gets through all of their teammates first are the winners.

PIN THE FEATHER ON THE TURKEY - This game is played like Pin the Tail on the Donkey. Put a large poster of a turkey on the wall. Make colorful feathers out of construction paper, enough for each guest. Blindfold a guest, spin them around, and using double stick tape on the back of the feathers, have them try to pin the feathers on the turkey. Whichever guest gets the feather the closest to the tail feather is the winner.

Variations: - Pin the hat on the pilgrim or pin the nose on the pumpkin.

TURKEY RELAY - Split your guests into two teams and give them each an inflatable turkey. On "Go" the first person of each team must put the turkey between their legs and waddle to the finish line and back to their teammates. whichever team gets through all of their teammates first, are the winners.

PUMPKIN BOWLING - Line up some plastic bowling pins or you can use plastic water bottles partially filled with sand. Use mini pumpkins as your bowling balls.

LEAF TREASURE HUNT - Rake up gigantic piles of leaves and hide small toys in the pile. On "Go," the kids can jump into the leaves and whatever they find they get to keep.

Variation: - Only allow the kids to find a specific number of items to insure everyone has an opportunity to find some toys.

TURKEY HUNT - Prior to the party, affix turkey stickers to index cards and hide them around your party room. Have all your little guests (the hunters) then proceed to hunt for the turkeys. Whoever finds the most turkeys shall be the winner.
