There are 2 pages, but you will need to print the first page out as many teams or children as you have. The second page needs to only be printed out once.

I highly recommend laminating the second page before you cut out the images.

Each child will need a pen or pencil to mark off the found turkeys.

Parents, teachers, or older kids it’s time to get creative! Hide the turkey images in various places around the house or classroom. Under tables, behind trees, or wherever you think will be a fun hiding spot.

If you are working with a large group I would split the children into small groups to ensure that each child has a chance to actively participate and enjoy the fun.

How to play the turkey hunt

Kids of all ages can enjoy this fun holiday activity. Here’s how:

You’ll be given a tracking sheet with 16 turkey images. These images are exactly the same as the ones hidden by your parents or teachers.

Once you have your sheet, start searching for the silly hidden turkeys. As you find each one, match it to the image on your sheet and check it off.

 If there has been a time limit set, make sure you stop after the allotted time and count how many turkeys you found.

Where to play

This fantastic Thanksgiving game knows no boundaries and can be played anywhere you like.

Take it outdoors and transform it into an exhilarating outdoor Thanksgiving scavenger hunt by hiding the turkeys in your backyard or local park.

For an educational twist, use it as a delightful classroom activity, or bring the holiday spirit into your home during the Thanksgiving break, involving your entire family in the fun.

This fun activity is suitable for both small groups of kids or a big group, as well as an intimate experience with just your family members.
