Finally – The first Thanksgiving Game I have to show you 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
