He really does. I don't know if this would translate into older children, but it might be worth a shot. If you can make it fun, they may buy into it. We turn it inot a contest, with the winner getting some candy of some sort. Of course, my son always wins!

This has lead my wife to prepare little construction paper turkey craft for them, where they draw outlines of their feet and hands on construction paper and voila... a turkey! I think it may even give us some insurance of a few minutes of peace and quiet. =) Jerry We are having Thanksgiving dinner early this year (overseas) and it will be great fun for the little kids.

I remember playing them when I was younger with all my cousins, while all the "older folks" would chat. It seems that in our family we are always running and we never have time to really sit down and play games, so the Thanksgiving weekend really has a lot of "family" time and easier to pull out those board games. Plus I have been finding a ton of games on sale lately (posted on my blog if you want to peak), so our game closet is starting to get a nice selection. Thanks for your information!
