Everyone has some of the favorite activities to do on Thanksgiving Day: watch a football game, view The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and take a nap after you unbutton and unzip after your turkey dinner.
I’m like to inspire you to turn off the television, computer, smartphone and iPad for at least part of the day and spend some real quality time with friends and family. You’ll have great fun doing it and the fond memories will last a lifetime.
This list incorporates both inside and outside activities in the event that weather plays a role in your selection. Keep in mind that almost everything listed can be adapted to either inside or outside with very few exceptions.

Touch football, soccer, tag, hide-n-seek, etc. The idea here is to get outside with the family and do something that involves moving around and taking in healthy, fresh air.
3. Three Legged Races
You might also try a sack race or create an obstacle course for the family to run. Have some silly fun and prizes offer special privileges like the first place team doesn’t have to help with the Thanksgiving Day clean up or they get first dibs on the pumpkin pie.
4. Treasure Hunt
Make a simple and easy treasure map. There can be one overall prize or multiple prizes, just like an egg-hunt. Some prize ideas might be chocolate turkeys or a packet of coins or a gift certificate wrapped up in a box. Share your ideas with the family and decide on what the majority wants.
5. Board Games
Break out the games (if the weather is bad) that you’ve stored away since receiving last Christmas but haven’t played yet. Scrabble, Life, Monopoly, Cranium, Trivial Pursuit, Trouble, Chutes & Ladders, whatever! Have some great family fun, but don’t turn to your computer for these games.
6. Play Charades.
This doesn’t take much. Make your own rules as you go. Have fun inside or outside.
