At our house Thanksgiving is a pretty low key affair. We decorate the table, including making a thankful jar. Of course we eat yummy food and drink tasty beverages. But above all, we spend time together as a family. One way we love to spend time together is playing games or put together puzzles. It has become a tradition in our household. So, we are always trying to come up with new, fun ideas. A few years ago we started doing a scavenger hunt with the kids. It is so much fun!
We play in two ways.
First, if we have all our extended family together we split into a few teams. We only print one sheet for the whole team to share. Fist team to finish first and to all meet at the meeting spot designated wins.
Second, If it is just my family we each are on our own teams. Or if you have young ones split the family into two. Fist team to finish first and to all meet at the meeting spot designated wins.
It is a simple way to spend time together, while getting out of the house for a bit. My kids adore going on a quick walk while waiting on the food. They are both pretty competitive and love trying to search fort he items on the list. This is such a quick way to have wholesome fun together. Usually takes no longer than 20 – 30 minutes.
I hope you enjoy this simple family activity as much as my family has.
