Stuff the Turkey – Thanksgiving Game for Kids
Boy oh boy, my kids have plum worn out this turkey bag. They have thrown stuffing (paper balls) into it for three days now. They just don’t get tired of it.
Things I love about this game…
- easy to set up
- endless hours of fun for the kids
- a great idea for Thanksgiving
Tips and Tricks for setting up or playing this Thanksgiving game:
- make this game easier or more challenging by placing the bag, close, far away, high or low
- stuffing has a lot of different ingredients that you can find paper to represent – white for onion, brown for bread, green for celery, red for cranberries, etc…

Are you ready to play this fun fall game? Let’s make sure you have everything you’ll need…
Supplies You’ll Need:
- 1 large paper bag
- 2 small brown paper bags
- scrap pieces of paper or newspaper
- 2 pieces of white tissue paper
- Stapler
- Warm glue gun and glue sticks
- White paper for onions, brown paper for bread, green paper for celery
Instructions:
- My bag had a LOT of advertisement on it, so I slowly, and carefully turned it inside out
- Once you have your bag all set and ready to become a turkey, fold the top down toward the inside of the bag. Make the fold about 4 inches long
- Take the two front edges of the bag, and fold them in like you’re wrapping a present
- Staple those two folds down
- Take your scrap pieces of paper and wad them up
- Stuff the bottom of the 2 small brown bags with the wadded-up paper
- Place the ends of the white tissue paper down into the bags with only the end peaking out about 1-2 in.
- Twist the top of the bags around and glue or staple to secure
- Glue the turkey legs onto the big turkey bag
- Wad the pieces of paper up (the brown, white, and green) and glue them into balls
- Now…set the turkey up on a table, and stuff it! You’ll want to make it hard on the big kids.
- *You can set up high, low, far away, or even blindfold the kids. 😉

This is such a cute idea! I’m just getting started blogging and am doing a small series on Thanksgiving activities. (We kind of give Thanksgiving the bum’s rush, I think.) I’m wanting to do an activity roundup of clever things like this. Do you mind if I use it? Obviously I’ll make sure to give credit where credit is due!

Ok love this idea so much I posted a shot on our company’s instagram and tagged your website to visit.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the compliment and the share. 🙂
How do they get the stuffing to play. do you hide it and they have to find one of each to play and no trading?
I hand them out to the kids. I give them the wadded up paper and they have a contest to see who can get the most into the turkey. 🙂
That’s nice little idea. I definitely have to try it this thanks giving.
This is such an amazing idea! I just made 4 of them for our little ones this Thanksgiving! Thanks so much! 🦃🥧❤️
I’m so glad that you came back to let me know that you are planning on playing the game. That makes me so happy. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving – Stuffing the turkey!
What a creative idea! I love it and will do it with my sons every year from now on! Thank you! Quick question, was this a regular sized grocery paper bag? It seems bigger than the Publix bags at our local grocery. Do you have a recommendation for which bag you used, please? Hopefully I can find a similar size! No one wants a skinny turkey! 🦃😁 Thanks again!
LOL! I agree with the skinny turkey. I used a regular-sized paper bag from a grocery store called ALDI. I’m not sure if you have that particular grocery chain in your neck of the woods. I would assume it would be about the same size as Publix’s.
