About the games that can be played on Thanksgiving Day.

1, Corn Game: It is said that this is handed down to commemorate the distribution of five corns to each immigrant in the case of food shortage. During the game, people hid five corns in the house, and everyone looked for them separately. Five people who found corn participated in the game, while others watched. After the game started, five people peeled corn kernels quickly in a bowl, and whoever peeled them first won the prize. Then people who didn't take part in the competition gathered around the bowl to guess how many corn kernels were in it, and the closest person was rewarded with a big bag of popcorn.

2. Cranberry competition: put a big bowl with cranberries on the ground, and 4- 10 contestants sit together and give each one a needle and thread. After the game started, they threaded the needle first, and then strung the cranberries one by one. After 3 minutes, whoever pulls the longest will win the prize. As for the person who strings the slowest, everyone will jokingly give him a worst prize.

3. Pumpkin race: Participants push pumpkins with small spoons. The rule is never to touch the pumpkin with your hands, and the winner wins the prize first. The smaller the spoon used in the game, the more interesting the game is.

4. I put shoes on my parents: every family has a parent and a child. First, let children know their parents' shoes, and then let parents take off their shoes and put them in the circle. The teacher will mess up the shoes. At the beginning of the game, children find their parents' shoes from the circle and help them put them on. The first person to wear them is the winner.

5. Little feet on big feet: Each family is attended by a parent and a child. Children step on their parents' feet, and parents and children hold hands. After hearing the password, the parents ran forward with their children. Children can't leave their parents' feet to see who reaches the finish line first.

6. Basket Competition: Parents hold baskets and keep a certain distance from their children. The child throws the ball in the direction of the basket. It is better to put the ball in the basket, and the action is not limited. Parents and children can communicate and continue playing games. Within the specified time, the family with the most balls in the wastebasket wins.
