Make It a Thanksgiving to Remember:

Celebrate with Games

As the days get shorter and sunlight fades earlier, we naturally feel our energy winding down sooner in the day. It’s a normal part of adjusting to the seasonal shift. Embracing these changes can be so refreshing! As the season encourages more time indoors, it’s the perfect opportunity to bring out fun games and activities that lift everyone’s spirits and keep the family connected. This time of year reminds us that it’s okay to slow down and honor the need for more rest and warmth. Just like nature cycles through its seasons, so do we. Allowing this restful rhythm to shape our family activities—especially with playful indoor games—can bring joy, warmth, and bonding into our homes during these cooler months.

Here are some exciting session ideas for your child! Let us know if any of these spark your interest—we’d love to bring them to life. And if you have other ideas, please share them with us! Together, we can make sure each session reflects what matters most to you and your family.

🪶Thanksgiving Bingo:

Linked Bingo board here with items like turkeys, pie, leaves, and pumpkins! This is now at our clinic, if appropriate print for home use too!

Invite a sibling or neighbor and use Thanksgiving-themed cards (like turkey, pumpkin pie, and corn). Print the attached cards at home in black and white to color together, or in color. Cards are also available at our clinic.

🪶Thanksgiving Scavenger Hunt:

Hide items like turkey decorations, pumpkins, fall leaves, or a cornucopia. You may print this linked one here or use 3D objects from around the house.

🪶Turkey Tag:

Give each player a clothespin “feather” to attach to their shirt. Players try to collect as many feathers from others as possible without losing their own!

🪶Thanksgiving Obstacle Course:

Set up an exciting obstacle course with pillows to leap over, chairs to crawl under, and cones to zigzag around! Time each player and see who can conquer the course the fastest for a thrilling Thanksgiving challenge!

Thanksgiving is the perfect time to slow down, enjoy your family’s company, and create memories that will last a lifetime. By incorporating these indoor activities, you’ll ensure that everyone feels included and engaged, making this holiday extra special.
