Why it works as a party game

It is a relay that looks like cooking. Thanksgiving party games for kids need somewhere to put all that energy before grace.

How to play

  1. Draw a turkey face on two grocery bags.
  2. On go, teams crumple newspaper and stuff the bag.
  3. Tape the top when they think it is full.
  4. Heaviest or first sealed bag wins, your call, announced before start.

Hosting tips

  • Announce the win condition first. Weight and speed are different games.
  • No throwing paper at other teams.
  • Recycle the fill after.
