How to Play

This fun activity is inspired by the classic game of hot potato. Although, instead of tossing the turkey it will be passed from one player to another around a circle.

Designate one person to start and stop your favorite tune. Any player in the circle can start with the turkey.

When the music begins that player will begin by passing the turkey to their right.

However, in this game, there is a trick to it. When the music stops, the player holding the turkey is safe, and the player on the left hand side of the player holding the turkey is eliminated.

Then, the game will begin again with the player holding the turkey there again passing it to their right when the music begins. Just like the classic game of hot potato there can be only one winner. Each round will proceed until only one remaining player is left, who will then win a Thanksgiving prize.

Aunt Sally used to call this the right left game for thanksgiving and have a big bag of prizes to hand out to the kids. In addition to passing around a turkey, pilgrim, or a printable, she would use a story, a poem, and readings from the Bible to make the experience more interactive. This was her favorite prize to hand out!
