1. Turkey Bowling
These adorable turkey bowling pins can be crafted in advance of the big event, but they’re so simple to make they can just as easily be put together by a group of restless kids on Thanksgiving Day. (Personally, I’m a big fan of the craft-game combo.) Either way, the crowd-pleasing activity promises to provide plenty of entertainment for the whole fam—regardless of age—and the festive pins are just plain cute.
