Thanksgiving Dice Game

This post may contain affiliate or advertiser links. Read my full disclosure policy .

Around our house, Thanksgiving morning is all about preparing for the big meal of the day. My husband prepares the turkey to go in the oven, while I’m working on my mashed potatoes, green bean casserole and chocolate pie. Don’t forget about setting the table and getting dressed up for the occasion. But with all that to do how do you keep the little ones occupied and out from under your feet?

So I went searching for activities that would keep my boys entertained without much supervision. While searching the web I came across this Scarecrow Felt Board + Game on Let’s Explore, in which I said to myself, “I can recreate that with a Pilgrim and Native American!”

Since, I had recently created Itty Bitty Love’s Felt Turkey activity, I wanted to switch it up a bit. I decided to create (well have my husband create) our Native American and Pilgrim with foam and magnets, which works even better for this household because we have metal closet doors and no felt board! However, my husband needed a little more inspiration to help finalize the design. So, while browsing on DLTK’s site I came across what I would use as my Pilgrim boy and Native American boy model.

So with this inspiration, I put together this fun Thanksgiving Dice Game.


How to Play the Thanksgiving Game:

Each player starts with the face of either the pilgrim or Native American. Then, as they roll the dice or select a counting card, they add parts to their person. The first person to complete their figure wins. But be careful; don’t roll a turkey or you’ll lose a piece.

The first year we used it our son and his cousins were occupied for quite a while. After all, they each wanted to win before they could quit. Their favorite part was seeing each other roll a turkey – LOSE A PIECE!

Creating the pieces was a lot of prep work, but I’ve saved you the hassle by creating a printable. So, print it on card stock and laminate. To play this game you’ll need a dice or you can use our Counting Cards 1-6.  This game can be played as a one person game or a 2 player game.

Have fun and enjoy!

This puppy sure does love to get her vitamin D any This puppy sure does love to get her vitamin D anyway she can get it!  We could all learn a little something from her. Did you know that vitamin D plays an important role in immune function? Yep. And right now boosting your immune system is one of the best things you can do because it’s your body’s key defense when it comes to fighting a virus.  Vitamin D is just one of the many ways you can support your immune system. A few of my friends and I will be sharing more ways you can be proactive with your health and your family’s during the winter months tonight. Come learn what has helped us.

You all, it is so important to do everything you c You all, it is so important to do everything you can to make sure to maintain your health and your family's too this season.  My family and I always take proactive steps in the winter. Honestly, the steps we have taken in the past have kept my family healthy and we rarely get sick. This year we are adding some extra things to help support our immune system.  I've had several people asked me what I'm doing, so a few of my friends and I are actually going to have a little sharing session this Wednesday night (8:15 EST). We will be sharing all the ways we stay proactive with our health, especially in the winter. We'll have some practical tips, as well as some, must-haves to keep on hand to help your family stay above that wellness line. 

It's happening this Wednesday (11/18) at 8:15 pm EST.  Let me know if you want in and I will get you the dets. 

We will be talking about essential oils, but there are so many other things we do as well.  We will have a packet for everyone that comes, so you won't have to worry about your hand cramping from all the notes you'll want to write down!
You all, I can't believe it is November! However, You all, I can't believe it is November! However, I'm so glad it is because I am tired of all the crazy this year and I need to change my attitude! I'm going to be intentional this month and practice gratitude. 

Here's the thing, I think you should join me because research studies show that finding a bit of thankfulness each day can actually increase your happiness level and decrease depression!! It also increases physical health (hello cold & flu season), brain function, and a sense of fulfillment. I know, with everything going on in the world right now I could use a little more of ALL of that!

So, who's with me? What are you thankful for today?

🍂Today I am thankful for the colorful fall leaves swirling by my windows. 🍂
I love this reminder from the Lord! Last week was I love this reminder from the Lord!

Last week was our first week back to homeschool. And I think it is safe to say that we all dealt with an array of emotions that week.  I had to give myself a timeout the first day!! So, this reminder is perfect as we begin this week

After evaluating how things went I can see that it was my thoughts and attitude that was the ultimate cause of my feelings of frustration and irritation. Things weren’t going the way I had planned. 

I mean, let’s be honest this year isn’t really going as any of us have planned. Am I right? 

Here’s the thing, we have a choice in how we think, and since our thoughts affect our emotions, we have a choice in how we feel. 

But praise the Lord we don’t have to let our circumstances dictate our attitude or the the way we think!

WHO ELSE NEEDS THE SPIRIT TO RENEW THEIR THOUGHTS AND ATTITUDE THIS WEEK?
