Thanksgiving Day Activities
Last week, I wrote about making edible Pilgrim hats out of fudge striped shortbread cookies and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. My site stats show that lots of people are googling about these hats. I’m happy that you folks like my idea.
At that time, I had plenty of cookies on hand to make hats to put by all of the plates of my Thanksgiving dinner guests. But, somehow in the days that followed, the cookies disappeared one by one. (Okay, Grandpa, fess up! How many did YOU eat? I only ate one. Or two. Or was it twelve?)
When I went to the store last Saturday to get more cookies, the shelf was bare. I went back to the store last night. Still no cookies. What! Are all of my readers shopping at my local grocery store buying out all of those cookies so I won’t have any for my own Pilgrim hats??? Luckily, I found some at the new grocery store in town. Thank goodness!
If you are still looking for activities that you can do with your grandchildren on Thanksgiving and if you are new to this site, I thought that I would share some of the previous games I have written about:
- Candy Bar Game
- Candy Bar Game variation
- Zilch
- Panic card game
- Rhythm Cup game
- Matthew Mark Luke John
Lisa, over at Grandma Brief’s, writes about having a puzzle set out at Thanksgiving time with the goal to have it completed by Christmas. I love that idea! In the past, our family would have a puzzle up during the Christmas holidays. So, doing one on Thanksgiving is a novel idea for me. I think that this would be a great alternative for those dinner guests who don’t want to play Rock Band with me . . .
Hope you have a bond building, belly busting, soul satisfying wonderful Thanksgiving!

Thanks for the great ideas. I will try some out next time my grandkids are over. I love playing games with them.
We love games, too. I have a big closet full of them!
