Jake is happy he got to use scissors, nevermind he did not follow the instructions. Let your kids experiment. Give them a plain piece of paper and a pair of kiddie scissors, and you've just earned twenty minutes of freedom. Cut the center from your mini-paper plate. Grab your broom. Dessert Plates work best.

Thanksgiving Game for Parties
You will need:6 -10 paper plates, scissors, and a broom.
- Start by poking a hole in the center of your plate and cutting around to form a ring.
- Repeat with all plates.
- Divide into two teams, each team taking half the plates to opposite ends of the room.
- Get your broom, decide which team goes first.
- Unlike the traditional ring toss the player holds the broom and actively tries to catch the rings. It can be a boisterously fun game for preschoolers.
- We found when you toss your plate upside down it flies better, but it is nearly impossible to catch on the broom. So, toss your plates under-handed with the eating side up.
- When a player tosses all of their plates, tally the 'ringers' and switch sides.
Jake beams after catching a plate- Don't tell Amanda we let her cheat!
Action!....
The kids really like this game and it is so SIMPLE. It is a great 'busy' activity while you cook Thanksgiving Dinner. They needed very little moderation, although I can see the broomstick turning into a weapon quickly in a dispute, so don't leave them unattended for too long. :-)Recommended Reading:
