Capture the Turkey Egg Thanksgiving Game
Set up:
Place the three hoops equal distance apart on the gym floor. Place six "eggs" inside each hoop. These are the "turkey nests". Place the 8 cones and the exercise mat at one end of the gym. The cones and mat are the "Pilgrim Palace" and will be used for a physical activity when the students are tagged by the Mama or Papa turkey.
Directions:
Split the class evenly into 3 teams, each wearing a different color pinny. One student from each team will be chosen to be the “Mama” or “Papa” turkey, and the rest of the team will be gobblers. The Mama or Papa turkeys stand inside their nests. Their job is to protect the nest and tag gobblers trying to capture their eggs. The gobblers' job is to take eggs from the opposing teams nests and place them in their turkey's nest. The gobblers can take only ONE egg from a nest at a time. If they are tagged by the Mama or Papa turkey, the egg stays where it is and the gobbler must go to the "Pilgrim Palace" to perform the designated physical activity, 10 jumping jacks, 5 push ups, jump rope, etc. When a team has collected 10 eggs, the game is stopped. Continue the game with another student from each team in the nest, and replenish the "eggs" so there are six in each nest.
Thanksgiving Tag:
The family is getting ready for Thanksgiving. There are three taggers: Mom, Dad, and baby, who will wear the colored pinnies. Everyone else is a turkey. The family is trying to catch the turkeys so that they can eat them for Thanksgiving dinner, while the turkeys are trying to get away. The turkeys can save themselves by going down on one knee and calling out the name of another food the family can eat for Thanksgiving, such as mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce, and so on. If they can do this before they are tagged, they are safe for three seconds before needing to get up and run again. If they do get tagged, they must stand on one foot like a turkey, frozen in place until another turkey comes over and gives them a "high five."
