Need an easy way to keep kids entertained before Thanksgiving dinner? These free printable Thanksgiving activity sheets are packed with puzzles, games, coloring, and more.
Choose from four different activity pages. Each one features a variety of seasonal puzzles, games, and fun activities, making it easy to find something for different interests and skill levels.
You can print just one favorite or grab the whole set for even more fall fun.
About the Printables
These printables combine different activities on each page, so you don’t have to print separate worksheets. Across the four pages, you’ll find Thanksgiving word searches and word scrambles, mazes, counting activities, connect-the-dots, tic-tac-toe, drawing prompts, gratitude activities, and fall pictures to color.
That makes them especially handy when you want an easy activity with plenty to do but don’t want to print an entire stack of worksheets.
The activities are best suited for elementary-aged children, although younger children can enjoy many of the coloring, drawing, counting, and game sections with a little help.
Fun Ways to Use These Thanksgiving Activity Sheets
There are lots of ways to use these free printable activities throughout November.
One of my favorites is using them as Thanksgiving activity placemats at the kids’ table. They can play games and work on puzzles while everyone waits for Thanksgiving dinner.
They are also great for:
- Classrooms: Use them for morning work, early finishers, or a fun activity before the holiday break.
- At home: Keep kids busy while you prepare for the big feast.
- Thanksgiving parties: Print several different sheets and let everyone choose the activities they want to complete.
- Road trips: Bring a few pages on the drive to visit family for an easy screen-free travel activity.
- Quiet time: Keep a few copies on hand for a simple fall activity that requires almost no setup.
You could even laminate the pages or place them inside reusable dry-erase pockets and use washable dry-erase markers so the mazes, tic-tac-toe games, and other activities can be played again.
How to Print
These free Thanksgiving printables are designed for standard 8.5 x 11-inch letter-size paper and should be printed in landscape orientation.
For everyday use, regular printer paper works perfectly. For sturdier pages for Thanksgiving placemats or repeated use, print on white cardstock instead.
You will only need a few basic supplies:
- White printer paper or cardstock
- Printer
- Pencils
- Crayons or colored pencils
After printing, kids can jump right into the puzzles, games, drawing prompts, and Thanksgiving coloring pages.
Thanksgiving Word Search, Maze, and Games Activity Sheet
This activity-packed page has a little bit of everything! Kids can search for 10 Thanksgiving words, including turkey, pumpkin, feast, harvest, and family, before tackling a maze.
There is also a five-word unscramble, a count-the-fall-leaves challenge, and two tic-tac-toe boards. Cute pumpkins, a turkey, a cornucopia, and fall leaves offer plenty of coloring opportunities once the puzzles are complete.
Thanksgiving Drawing, Gratitude, and Maze
This one mixes puzzles with fun activities. Children can draw their favorite Thanksgiving food on the plate, complete the fall leaf-bordered maze, and fill in the “I’m thankful for” box with something special.
The page also includes two tic-tac-toe games and a large pumpkin to color and decorate. The combination of drawing, writing, coloring, and games makes this page a fun choice for kids of all ages.
Thanksgiving Connect-the-Dots and Word Scramble
For this one, kids can connect the numbers from 1 to 36 to finish the pumpkin in the center of this printable, then color their completed picture.
The page also includes a Thanksgiving word scramble with words like feast, family, table, and pumpkin, along with a maze, gratitude writing space, tic-tac-toe boards, and cute Thanksgiving pictures to color. It offers a slightly more challenging mix of activities for children who enjoy puzzles and word games.
Thanksgiving Counting and Word Games
This page features a fun assortment of counting, word, drawing, and gratitude activities. Kids can count the objects and write the totals, complete a word search, and unscramble five seasonal words.
There is also space to write something they are thankful for and a large plate where they can draw their favorite Thanksgiving food. Adorable pumpkins, pie, and a turkey give them a few extra pictures to color along the way.
