Thanksgiving Scavenger Hunt

Need to buy yourself a little time while you hustle around the kitchen with last minute preparations? Try giving the kids a scavenger hunt.  They’ll have a blast and you can baste the turkey to the sound of their excitement.  It’s win-win, I tell ya. Simply hit the “Print” button at the top of this post and had this list to the kiddos. 🙂

Here’s a list to get you started {have them take pictures of the items that are too hard to collect in a bag}:

1. Turkey {decor or the real thing}
2. 1 each Brown, orange or red leaf {this may require them heading out to the great outdoors temporarily}
3. Pumpkin {canned or the read deal}
4. Something your thankful for {careful, my friend did this last year and her son brought back a roll of toilet paper-Ha!}
5. A football
6. A house with 5 or more cars parked outside {again, this is gonna require some outdoors time}
7. A nut {acorn, pecan, walnut, etc.}
8. Potato
9. Pie {have them take pictures to make it easier and mess free}
10. Corn {decoration, candy corn, canned, or otherwise}
11. Picture of themselves with one house guest
12. A napkin that is any color other than white
13. A feather
14. A Scarecrow
15. Something green {green bean casserole anyone?}
16. A basket
17. Something red
18. An onion
19. A picture of someone they’re thankful for
20. Apron
