Indoor Time: Find the turkey. Designate an object "the turkey." It could be a small stuffed animal (maybe you even have a turkey!) or a ball or anything else you want to use. Hide the turkey in their playroom (or whatever room you want them playing in) then let them try and find it. Whoever finds the turkey gets to hide it next.
Outdoor Time: Play tag. Make it turkey tag. Whoever is "it" has to gobble like a turkey while they are chasing.
Craft Time: Make a collage on construction paper of things for which you are thankful. Cut pictures out of the advertisements you got in the mail or from old magazines. Let your kids glue them on the paper.
Art Time: Focus on Photography. This is going to be a recurring theme. Work with your little ones in teaching them how to use the camera. Either let them use yours (they especially love the instant gratification of digital) or get disposable cameras for their use. Today let them take pictures of your Thanksgiving celebration. See what is deemed picture worthy by your kids.
Music Time: I don't know about you, but we have the holiday music going already. (may have had something to do with the 4 inches of snow we had today that went so nicely with Walking in a Winter Wonderland on the radio!) Put on some holiday tunes and let your kids dance.
Story Time: This is it. The last day for the Thanksgiving books. Have you memorized any of the stories yet?
Happy Thanksgiving!
