It’s the season for falling leaves, pumpkin pie, and expressing gratitude. How will you be celebrating with your children?

A Thanksgiving Scavenger Hunt for kids would be a ton of fun and keep them busy over the holiday break. Mike is back with a great group of clues:

• To find out where you are going, look in the horn that is overflowing. (Cornucopia)

• Find the next clue or your plans may topple! Check near a bird who says gobble, gobble. (Turkey)

• Your next clue, from what I’ve heard said, is near something a pilgrim might wear on his head. (Pilgrim’s hat)

• These once grew on trees and have been changing color; sometimes they are raked, but they’re now a clue cover. (Autumn leaves)

• For your next clue, just take a short walk toward a corny old friend who grows on a stalk. (Corn cob)

• Your next clue is squashed in a familiar place; a month ago many of these were carved with a face. (Pumpkin)

• I’m crispy and sweet and taste good in pie. I’ve got your next clue, so come right on by! (Apple)

• Do you “pine” for a clue? I’ve got what you need! If you were an evergreen, I’d be your seed. (Pine cone)

Have fun hunting this Thanksgiving holiday!
