We believe that spending quality time with family is at the heart of the Thanksgiving holiday season. While dining with us at Bettolino Kitchen is always a treat, we believe in the power of creating special moments at home.
To make your Thanksgiving break fun and memorable, we’ve put together a list of five of our favorite family-friendly activities that you can enjoy together in the comfort of your own home.
Thanksgiving Break Activities
- Thanksgiving Cooking Challenge: Turn your kitchen into a culinary battleground with a family cooking challenge! Assign teams or individuals to prepare dishes using specific ingredients, or have a “Chopped”-style competition where family members create a meal using surprise ingredients. And if the meals don’t turn out quite as expected, we’re always here to save the day with our takeout menu!
- Family Photo Day: Dedicate a day to capturing precious family moments through photography. Assign each family member a camera or smartphone and encourage them to take photos throughout the day. Later, compile the pictures into a family photo album or digital slideshow. It’s a fun way to document your Thanksgiving break and reminisce about the special moments you shared.
- Story Time: This is for families looking to detach their kids from the screens for a day! Build a backyard fire or an indoor blanket fort, and take turns sharing family stories. Whether it’s funny childhood memories or sharing tales of relatives from the past, storytelling is a wonderful way to connect with your family’s history and create new stories together.
- Outdoor Adventure Challenge: If you’re hosting a large group of family members, you’ll love this idea! Plan a series of outdoor challenges for your family in your backyard or a nearby park. Activities could include a sack race, a three-legged race, a water balloon toss, or a nature scavenger hunt. We guarantee you’ll be laughing together for hours.
- Gratitude Tree: No Thanksgiving is complete without a way to share what you’re grateful for. Set up a gratitude tree in your home using craft supplies like construction paper, markers, and twigs from your yard. Each family member can write down something they’re thankful for on a leaf-shaped piece of paper and attach it to the tree. Watching the tree fill up with leaves throughout the week will make the whole family feel grateful.
