Thanksgiving Fun for Families

After the turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie have all been gobbled up, what’s a family to do? Instead of piling onto the couch for family nap time, gather everyone up for some fun after-dinner activities that will keep all ages entertained! It’s a great way to bond as a family and make the most out of your time together!  Check out these great ideas to make your Thanksgiving one to remember! 

1. Volunteer Together

Provide a meal for those in need at your local Salvation Army or through a local soup kitchen where families can team up to serve dinner and welcome the less fortunate in for a warm holiday meal among friends.

2. Family Football Game

Start a friendly football game for the whole family outdoors and get in some great outdoor gross motor. 

3. Outdoor Scavenger Hunt

Assemble family members into pairs or teams and organize an exciting scavenger hunt either in the backyard or throughout the neighborhood. Offer a prize like small gift cards or special treats to inspire some friendly competition.

4. Set up the Christmas Tree

Turn on some festive music, delegate out the tree-decorating tasks, and watch your holiday come alive with the help of the whole family. Serve up some hot cocoa to really help get everyone in the spirit!

5. Family Game Night

From traditional board games to card games to made up games of your own, nothing gets family together better than a family game night!
