Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday because it’s secular–so anybody can celebrate it–and the theme of the day is gratitude. We can all use more opportunities to reflect on people and things we appreciate. If you are responsible for the Thanksgiving dinner this year, make it fun and memorable for everybody and easy for you so that you actually want to pull it off. With the right activities, hopefully, your family and friends will get to know one another better—or have a good time, at least. Read on for 10 Thanksgiving Day family activities for all ages.

Your town, a community group, or a local organization is very likely holding a “fun run” or “turkey trot.” Burn a few calories before you gorge on Thanksgiving dinner. Fun runs are usually short—anything between one mile and a 5k—and many times they act as a local fundraiser. Get your family together for this fun activity.
