My readers enjoyed the Halloween dice games that I shared.
That got me to thinking. (Dangerous activity for me, I know. 🙂 )
So, I thought that I would make some Thanksgiving-themed dice games.
It’s always good to have a slew of activities on hand for your grandkids — either before you serve your scrumptious meal or afterwards when they are so stuffed to the gills that they can hardly move but still want something to do.
So, I made a turkey dice game.
And a pilgrim hat dice game.
And a cornucopia dice game.
You can see here what the pictures look like. They are cute, even if I do say so myself!
I made a game version for one dice and a version for two.
Here are the directions on how to play the game. (Don’t worry. You don’t have to remember exactly how to play. I’ve put the directions with each of the free printables that you can download below.)
Here are the directions on how to play the game. (Don’t worry. You don’t have to remember exactly how to play. I’ve put the directions with each of the free printables that you can download.)
Print up a copy of the picture from the printables and give to each player. If you are using the game with numbers 2-12 use the ‘two dice’ version of the game and use two dice.
Select someone to be the first player.
That person rolls the dice. She crosses off the paper the number that she rolled. Let’s say she rolled a two. She looks at her sheet, finds a number two, and puts an X through it.
She passes the dice to the player to her left. That player rolls the dice and crosses the number off her paper that she rolled.
As play continues, it gets a little tricky. Say that you rolled a three but all of the threes on your paper are already crossed off. You don’t get to cross anything off.
And, that is the end of your turn. Pass the dice to the next person.
Play continues until someone has all of the numbers crossed off their sheet. The first person to cross out all of their numbers is the winner.
So. Here are links to the game sheets:
I hope you have a fun time playing these games with your grandchildren!

What fun and this sounds wonderful – Pinned! Thanks for sharing with To Grandma’s House We Go, I’ll be featuring you at the next party.
I love this idea! We have a game called Double Shutter… it has the same concept, but it’s kind of a one-man challenge. I love the printable idea and having everyone playing against each other! Thanks so much for sharing this at my Creative Ways Link Party last week! You’ll be one of the features at tomorrow night’s party!
Your Double Shutter game sounds fun. And, thanks so much for featuring me!
So clever! My grands would love this. I am going to print them off and have one sitting at each seat. Thanks for sharing your fun games with SYC!
hugs,
Jann
I hope they have fun!
What fun ideas, Nina, and great printables too. Pinned. Thank you for sharing with us at Hearth and Soul.
Great game idea. I’d like to do this at Christmas when I’m with the grandkids.
I love this idea! There are 17 grandkids at our family gathering of a wide range of ages. I think they’d really enjoy this while they wait for the turkey. 🙂
This looks like it would be so much fun for the younger children and maybe even the older! Thanks for the printables! I hope you can stop by:

What a great game to play for the holidays! Something to keep the kids entertained while the food is cooking
I just love cute seasonal games the kids can play with their parents after dinner. It’s so heartwarming to see their little heads bent over a bingo board or a dice game like this with their parent alongside, helping when needed. This set is so cute and perfect for us! Thank you!
