Thanksgiving Games for the Kids' Table

The kids' table is the part of Thanksgiving where a little planning goes a long way. A packet of printable activities gives children something to do between courses and gives adults a quieter meal.

Practical tips

Set a small activity packet at each place so children can start as soon as they sit.
Include one game for the whole table, such as bingo, so older and younger kids can play together.
Leave a few extra pencils and crayons in the center.
Plan something quiet for after the meal so adults can clean up.

Frequently asked questions

How many activities should I print?

A few different sheets per child is usually enough. Add more only if the day runs long.

What ages are these for?

Choose sheets according to your children's reading level, and use picture-based games for younger ones.
