Do you remember playing charades as a child? I loved playing with my neighborhood friends. We’d find a shade tree to sit under after playing on a hot summer’s day and we’d cool off and still have fun by playing charades. We also played it sometimes at school if we ever had a little time to pass. It was a fun game that didn’t require a thing but imagination.
I know from experience that it can be tough to entertain the little ones while waiting on Thanksgiving dinner to be served. I can remember waiting with great anticipation myself as a child while the smells of my aunt’s turkey and dressing drove me crazy! Her dressing just MAKES Thanksgiving every year. I’m so serious! My cousin’s and I would eventually end up outside playing while the grown-ups visited and tried to get dinner on the table in time. I have so many wonderful memories of Thanksgivings with my family.

I’d recommend printing these out on card stock paper and laminating them so that they’ll last for years of fun to come. I personally use this Fellowes laminator and it has served me well for quite some time. I love being able to preserve things right at home so that they’ll last for a while.
