Pumpkin Sweep – Thanksgiving Game to Play

Thanksgiving is a time to spend with the ones you love and reflect on what you’re thankful for. It’s also the perfect opportunity to bond with some competitive games.

We love having fun with holiday games at our house. There are plenty of Halloween game ideas and Christmas Games to Play, but Thanksgiving is smushed between those 2 enormous holidays with very few game ideas. If you are looking for Thanksgiving games to play, then don’t you worry. I have lots of Thanksgiving game ideas for you like this fun Candy Corn Ring Toss, or Stuff the Turkey Game for Thanksgiving

Here’s What You’ll Need to Set up and How to Play this Fun Fall Game…

Supplies Needed

You’ll Need:

• Pumpkins – small for little ones, larger ones for big kids and teens (1 team)
•  Brooms – I prefer the straw brooms for this game, but use whatever you have

How to Play Pumpkin Sweep:

*note:

• You can play as teams in the form of a relay or line players up – each with a broom and a pumpkin

Teams:

• Divide players up evenly to make 2 teams
• Decide on your playing space. Have a starting line and a finish line set up
• Give the first players in line a broom
• Set a pumpkin down in front of the players
• Yell, go!
• Players should sweep their pumpkins all the way to the finish line and back to the next player on the line
• The last player just has to cross the finish line
• The first one to do that – wins!

Individual Race:

• The rules are the same as above, but players only have to cross the finish line to win
