A Thanksgiving movement game that is easy to play with any age. Simply print the free printable and play to make Thanksgiving memories all holiday long.
There is something about the simplicity of Thanksgiving.
The gathering together of family to eat is just the basic of all good things. It is something families do on Sundays, or every evening around the table.
Thanksgiving just puts that basic thing amped up and makes it that much more joyful to share delicious food with people you love.
Sure, there is fighting the crowds, traffic and long TSA lines, and then of course some family disagreements, but we can look past all that for the sake of togetherness, right?
In this Thanksgiving Roll A Movement free printable game, you will be able to do more together on Thanksgiving as you wait for the turkey to cook just right. Keep the little ones busy as they get antsy with all the talking as you simple print, grab your dice, and play.

Game Directions
This is truly such an easy game to take with you on your Thanksgiving adventures. All you have to do is print and play!
I do suggest you laminate your Thanksgiving printable movement game so you can have it out among the food and drinks without worry. I love this simple laminator and have had it for years with no issues.
To modify the game for your younger players, simply just cut it down to one dice. It won’t take as long to play and your child won’t be overwhelmed with the counting.
How To Play:
1. Player 1 rolls two dice (or one, depending on what you chose). Count the number on the dice and then everyone moves as directed for that corresponding number.
2. Player 2 rolls and does the corresponding move. Continue until you have complete all the movements.
3. Extend this activity by keeping score. The first person to roll all 12 numbers wins.
