Can you believe it? Thanksgiving is just around the corner. While the turkey roasts and pies bake, the kids need something to do, or else they will turn the house upside-down.
That’s why it’s a good idea to prepare a variety of printable Thanksgiving games available for the kids to grab and play when they get bored! Instead of flipping all the toys out or gluing their eyes to screens, the kids can get together and spend quality time playing fun games.
This Thanksgiving Scavenger Hunt is a fun-filled adventure that gets the kids moving, searching, and laughing! And the best part? You can download the free printable Thanksgiving Scavenger Hunt PDF and have the game ready to go in just minutes.
Every item on the list ties into the Thanksgiving spirit, from the must-have turkey to other classic holiday items. Whether you have toddlers or older kids, everyone can join in on the fun.
What’s a Thanksgiving Scavenger Hunt?
We love scavenger hunts because they are such a good way to get the kids active and engaged instead of sitting around on their iPads when they have nothing to do. With this Thanksgiving-themed scavenger hunt, your kids will search for items related to the holiday, from pumpkin to turkey to wishbone and acorn.
Depending on the weather, you can have the kids run around outdoors to search for items like squirrel and scarecrow. If it’s raining or snowing out, you can set up miniature versions of the items around the house and have the kids search for them indoors.
This Thanksgiving scavenger hunt is great for all ages. The preschoolers and kindergarteners can use the pictures to help them find the items. For older kids, you can set a timer and see who can complete the list first! You can also ask them to take a picture of the items as they find them for proof.
