Pumpkin Sweep {Fall and Thanksgiving Game}

A fun outdoor Thanksgiving game to play
Author: Melissa Haines
Cost: $10

Materials

  • 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

Instructions

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

Playing in Teams of more than 2 players

  • 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 game continues sweeping the pumpkin down and back
  • The last player only has to be the first to cross the finish line to win

For 2 players

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