Give thanks for family fun with a free Printable Turkey Hunt. The idea is simple. Hide paper turkeys for kids to collect on their own Turkey Hunt print-out. It’s an easy activity to entertain the kids while you cook or a fun way to burn off some of that pie during a Friendsgiving!
One of the things I’m the most grateful for is that my children are growing up with their cousins and “cousins” who maybe aren’t biologically related. But when the mamas have been friends for this many decades, you totally earn family status.
Celebrating a Friendsgiving together is a special tradition that is equal parts mellow and memorable. We try to keep our celebrations far from stuffy and no stressing about a clean house, coordinated menus, or a kid wearing the same character tee for three weeks is allowed!
For our last Friendsgiving, I wanted to give the kids something fun to do while the parents caught up! Thus, the Turkey Hunt was born.

Keep the kids busy with a free Printable Turkey Hunt for Thanksgiving!
What You’ll Need:
- Turkeys to Hide (one per child…with a few extras just in case)
- Turkey Hunt Print-Out (one per child)
How to Host a Turkey Hunt
In advance, cut out turkeys to hide. There are 12 turkeys per page on this page. Each child only needs to find 9 to complete their worksheet. If your hunters are younger or need the win, hide a few extras.
Time Hack: Use a circle punch like this one to save time.
I attached turkeys with rolled tape to windows, under plant pots, and even the play structure.
Once the turkeys are hidden, let your lil’ turkey hunters go wild! They’ll race around trying to find the turkeys and stick them to their Turkey Hunt Print-Out. Once a turkey was found, it could be restuck to the Turkey Hunt Print-Out.
Fun Hack: award your turkey hunters a special prize when they have found all 9 turkeys on their worksheet!
