How to Play this Thanksgiving Word Game
To Play this Thanksgiving Word Game, players write down as many different words as they can make with the letters from Happy Thanksgiving. They can only use each letter once in each word.
This word game is a bit like a word scramble game and similar to word searches, only you are using letters from Happy Thanksgiving.
This game is age appropriate for first grade and up, as children need to be able to spell words in order to play.
I like to have everyone start at the same time and then set a timer to see who can create the most new words within a certain amount of time. If the kids are younger you might have them work in pairs to come up with words.
Or, you could have the first person to hit 20 words be the winner. There’s so many fun ways to play this game!
Set the ground rules as you see fit. For example, you might like to say that you can’t write down Happy or the word Thanksgiving as new words. Or another rule could be that words must be 3 letter words or more, etc.
It’s your game, so you can make the rules!
Answer Key
It’s a bit unbelievable, but there are over 300 words you can create with these letters!
Here’s just a few of the words you can create:
- tan
- tag
- van
- sank
- pan
- sing
Now that you know how the game works, it’s time to print these fun games for Thanksgiving!
