13 Fun Thanksgiving Games Perfect for the Whole Family

This game, courtesy of the Teach Beside Me blog, isn’t just fun—it’s also an excellent way to get your heart pumping after a hearty meal. All you need are some clothespins and a group of eager participants. (If you want, you can paint the clothespins different colors or glue some feathers on them, but it’s not really necessary.) Gather everyone around and pin two clothespins on each player’s shirt. The goal is to collect clothespins from other players—and prevent yours from getting collected.

Once everyone is ready, the game leader shouts “Run, turkey, run!” Then, after a minute or so, they’ll shout “Freeze, turkey, freeze!” Everyone has to freeze in place. Do this for three rounds. You’re out if you lose all of your clothespins, and whoever has the most at the end of the game wins. (In other words, it’s basically a combination of freeze tag and flag football.)
