Description
Bring laughter, connection, and a little friendly mischief to your school with There’s a Turkey in My Pocket!—a fun, fast-paced Thanksgiving game designed especially for teachers and staff. This game turns your building into a playful scavenger hunt where participants try to track down who’s hiding a turkey and claim it for themselves.
Each player begins with a small turkey object tucked away in a pocket, badge, purse, or clothing. Throughout the day, staff can randomly ask one another, “Do you have a turkey in your pocket?” If the person being asked has one, they must hand it over immediately—no asking back! A brief waiting period keeps the game fair and adds excitement as turkeys secretly change hands. At the end of the game, the players still holding the turkeys win prizes.
Easy to implement and perfect for boosting morale, this game encourages interaction, movement, and lots of laughter among staff. Use it during Thanksgiving week, PD days, or anytime you want to infuse positivity and connection into your school culture.
