This can be a professional craft, or a simple project for kids. Get creative! Find some fall-themed items (like fallen leaves) and get a little crafty!

Make Homemade Rolls 

It's always a good idea to do a practice run before the big day. We have our famous family rolls that we're asked to bring every year we highly recommend!

Watch the Thanksgiving Parade

This year it will be a virtual broadcast, but you can always watch past years on YouTube. Feel free to enjoy the fun Thanksgiving Day, or enjoy a past year's parade during a viewing any time this month!

Get crafty or plan a dedicated shopping trip. It doesn't take a lot of money to pull together a great festive tablescape!

It's a great time to give back! Find a service opportunity to do together.

Learn About the History of the Land You Live On

I'm grateful for the shift in greater cultural respect for indigenous people. Spend some time learning about your region. A quick Google search will lead you to lots of great educational resources.

This is an easy way to give thanks and make someone else's day! We have over 60 Random Acts of Kindness Ideas to help you find one!

Try a New Side Dish

I heard a professional chef recommend sticking to classic main dish recipes for Thanksgiving. But he highly recommended adding a new side dish to impress your family. Have a fun evening with a test run to choose your favorite.

Do a Thanksgiving Craft

It's really easy to order a Thanksgiving craft kit from Amazon. It's equally easy to find something on Pinterest either for kids, or one adults will love for a craft night.

Movie Night

It's blockbuster season, and there's almost always a great new movie to see! Alternately, The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown is always a fun family movie night view!

I Spy Thanksgiving 

I Spy activity sheets are so fun for kids! We have a Thanksgiving printable being released next week, so stay tuned for a free download!

Thanksgiving Game Night

It's easy to create a Thanksgiving minute to win it themed night. But if you're feeling less ambitious, a regular game night that promotes quality time works well too! Check out our couple's games list of 100+ fun games for two or more if you need a new game idea!

Turkey Bowl/Turkey Kickball

Throw in some outdoor activity with an organized Turkey bowl or Turkey kickball tournament.

Have a Friendsgiving

We have so many friends who swear they love Friendsgiving more than Thanksgiving! It's easy to have a less pressure meal enjoying each other. Plus, this is one you can easily do virtually and enjoy each other's company even when you can't be close together.
