Game Play
- Have the youth form pairs and choose who will be the “Turkey” and who will be the “Farmer”.
- Give each pair an equal amount of candy corn.
- Pairs must face each other at a distance of about 5 feet.
- On your signal the Thanksgiving turkeys must start making turkey sounds: “Gobble, Gobble, Gobble.”
- The farmer then must toss the candied corn to the Thanksgiving turkey, one piece at a time.
- If the turkey successfully catches the corn in his mouth, the pair is still in the game.
- If the turkey does not successfully catch the corn in its mouth, the pair Is eliminated from game play.
- Increase the distance between the remaining participants then let the farmers toss another piece of corn.
- Continue to repeat the activity until only one winner remains. If all pairs fail, then those turkeys that successfully caught the corn at the last distance are recognized as the winners or repeat until one pair succeeds.
