The holidays are a special time of the year for everyone. Family and friends gather together to share their traditions and the reasons for being grateful about all of the blessings in their lives. It's a time for catching up with one another, for sharing a feast full of favorite foods, and for many, sitting down and watching their favorite sports game while dad and grandpa fall asleep in their favorite easy chairs.
Sometimes, as wonderful as those precious Thanksgiving traditions may be, they can get a little dry, especially for the young ones. They're often not much interested in chatting with the gathered generations of family members, with the exception, maybe, of the ones close to their age. Kids tend to get in the way during cooking and setting the table (unless they have their own jobs). After the eating, while there's clean-up and more chatting and the aforementioned sports event of choice, the young ones often go back to their restlessness.
Instead of going with the old staid standards, why not turn Thanksgiving into a party that's fun for all ages? You still prepare your family's usual foods and take part in practiced traditions, but add some special spice that will not only entertain the young kids, but the rest of the family too! Some new traditions everyone can grow with!

Everyone sits around the table or in a circle and everyone has a card (can be made using index cards) with something relate to Thanksgiving - one of the cards has a turkey!
One players sits in the middle (if your playing at the table just designate one player as the guesser).
The other players each take a card. The player who draws the turkey, is considered the TURKEY for that round.
Now all players must trade their cards with another player, look at their new cards, and then trade their cards with a different player.
At this point the guesser can say GOBBLE GOBBLE and the players that received the turkey in a TRADE (not the original Turkey) must GOBBLE GOBBLE back. The guesser then gets two chances to guess who had the turkey card originally.
If they guess right they get a piece of candy or other small prize and get to go again. If they guess wrong the player who originally grew the turkey gets to be the next guesser. Play as long as you like - best with six or more players.

Activity Sheets are a great way for kids to occupy themselves with while the adults are still eating or chatting at the table. Some ideas include coloring pages (you can buy cheap crayons at the dollar store -- make sure they're non-toxic if the kids are little!), Thanksgiving-related word scrambles, crossword puzzles, mazes, and jokes. Take a page from clever restaurants that turn kids' activities into placemats to keep them entertained at the table.
