Thanksgiving is usually a busy day! You may have a lot of cooking and cleaning to do before settling down for a big Thanksgiving meal. Do you watch a parade in the morning? Run in a turkey trot? No matter how you spend the morning, by the afternoon, it’s time to relax. Maybe you have football on TV or are waiting to play a family game in the back yard? The important thing on Thanksgiving is spending time with others and being thankful for all our blessings.
Do you have any fun family traditions on Thanksgiving? Aside from eating a good meal together, another way to make memories on Thanksgiving is to do our Thanksgiving Scavenger Hunt. You’ll just have to hide some clues around the house before you get started. But once you’re ready, you can read the opening rhyme to the kids to get things going. They’ll learn some fun facts about Thanksgiving as they work together to search for these indoor clues. Don’t be surprised if you hear lots of laughter! It’ll be fun for the rest of the family to see the children do this scavenger hunt too! Think about what prize you might leave at the end of the hunt. Is it a Christmas DVD? Or the football to start the family game? Or maybe it’s a board game?
When you return to the table for a second helping of turkey or an extra slice of pumpkin pie, you can quiz your kids on the Thanksgiving facts they learned while doing their Thanksgiving Scavenger Hunt. It’s an easy way to include your little ones in the festivities and make the day more memorable for all of you.
Keep the fun going! Try these 15 fall riddles and 20 fun Thanksgiving jokes with your kids too. Don’t forget to check out the rest of our scavenger hunts on iMOM.com!
