These Thanksgiving or Fall Party games are perfect for kids, teens and adults. The whole family will enjoy these hilarious Thanksgiving Games to Play with Kids. Come on in and I’ll share these fun games to play with your family and friends this Thanksgiving…

These Minute to Win It Games have a fall theme, but you can adapt most of them for any party…

The first Thanksgiving Game for Kids and grown ups to try is  is Turkey Leg Wrap…

We tried this a couple of different variations of this game.

We started with brown streamer paper and ended up using burlap instead. Burlap just held up a little better than the streamer for our needs.

Here’s what you’ll need for this Thanksgiving Game to Play…

• A roll of brown burlap (about 20 ft.) or wide streamer paper 
• A chef hat 
• A timer

Players Needed per team…

• 2 

Now…

• In one minute or less, players should wrap their teammate with the brown burlap and place the chef hat on their head to represent a turkey leg
• *The burlap can get itchy, so long sleeves and pants are a good idea

Next up…

Sweet Potato Roll – or Traffic Yam!

• Sweet Potatoes – 1 per player
• Wooden Spoons – 1 per player

Number of players per team – 1 

Set up…
