Children learn through play. As an occupational therapist who works with children and youth, I use games and toys almost every day to help develop important cognitive, visual perceptual, motor, sensory, social, play and leisure skills. While many different types of activities can be used in therapy, this blog focuses on off-the-shelf games and toys that are accessible to most. Whether you are a therapist, parent, teacher, or a game lover like me, I hope you discover something useful while you are here. Learn a different way to play a game you already own or discover a new game for your next family game night. Either way, just go play. It's good for you!

The OT Magazine named The Playful Otter one of the Top 5 Pediatric OT Blogs.

THANKSGIVING GAMES

Thanksgiving Games for kids and families

There aren't too many Thanksgiving games out there, but there are a few. Click on the title to go to my post about that game.
 

Gobblet Gobblers - Not technically a Thanksgiving game, but it has the word gobblers in the name, so I would give it a pass. The pieces have a generic face printed on the front and something that looks like a wattle coming out of the top of the head and they gobble up other pieces. An advanced Tic-Tac-Toe game, with a 9x9 grid and different sized pieces so you can cover (or uncover) pieces already on the grid.

Thanksgiving Charades - Food, activities, icons and more, all related to Thanksgiving. Get up and moving after that heavy meal.

LEGO Thanksgiving Turkey - LEGO puts out limited edition sets for different seasons and holidays. They go fast.

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving app - Another charming Charlie Brown android app from Loud Crow. Based on the TV special, Charlie Brown and Snoopy whip up a Thanksgiving meal of jelly beans, pretzels, popcorn, and toast. See how his guests respond. Lots of chances to interact with the app.

Thanksgiving J-I-N-G-O - Bingo Thanksgiving style.

Oriental Trading Thanksgiving - Affordable Thanksgiving craft kits, jewelry kits, sticker scenes, sun catchers, etc.

Holiday Fluxx Card Game - This edition covers Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's.
