Free Thanksgiving Games for Kids Online
Thanksgiving week has a lot of waiting in it: waiting for the turkey, waiting for relatives, waiting for the last school day before the break. These games fill that time with something useful. The memory match builds early word recognition, the word search practices spelling with harvest words, and the pie math covers counting, adding, and sharing slices equally, depending on the grade you choose.

What are good Thanksgiving games for kids?
It depends on where you are playing. At school or at home before the holiday, short online games like a turkey memory match or a Thanksgiving word search work well because they need no supplies. For younger children, counting pies and corn builds number sense. Older kids can practice multiplication and fair sharing with slices of pie, which fits the holiday naturally. At the kids' table, pair a game here with a printable coloring page so everyone has something to do.

What kids practice in each game
Memory Match
Each card shows a picture and its word, so matching pairs builds picture-to-word recognition along with working memory. Younger kids play 6 pairs; older kids get up to 10.
Word Search
Searching for holiday words builds spelling and visual scanning. PreK to 1st grade words run across and down, 2nd to 3rd adds diagonals, and 4th to 5th hides words in every direction.
Math Game
Ten quick questions per round. PreK to 1st counts pictures and adds within 10, 2nd to 3rd adds and subtracts within 100, and 4th to 5th multiplies and shares equally.
