The smell of the turkey in the oven, the promise of a big feast to come and the warm cozy feeling of the kickoff to the holiday season.

Thanksgiving Don’t Eat Pete:
The little ones will love to play this game and it’s so easy!
First of all print the playing board.

Here’s how to play: Cover each character with the candy or marshmallows or snack crackers. Choose one person to be “It”, and send them out of the room. The rest of the group chooses which character on the game board to be “Pete.” The “It” person comes back and starts to eat the candy off the board in whatever order they want. When they reach to grab the “Pete” all the other players yell “DON’T EAT PETE” and that “It” person isn’t it anymore. Choose a new “It” and repeat until all the children have had a turn to be “It.”
