Thanksgiving is as much an opportunity to spend quality time with the people you love as anything else. You may feel tired after eating a big meal, but you can make sure that you take advantage of your time by planning how to stay active and get everyone involved. These family games and activities can help you fend off the post-dinner doldrums and make the most of your time together.

GO FOR A WALK OR BIKE RIDE

Fall is a great time to enjoy the colors of the changing leaves and the cool, crisp air. If the weather looks like it will cooperate, have your guests pack a pair of comfortable walking shoes so that you can take a stroll together after the meal. You could also get a nice jumpstart on your day by taking part in the Turkey Trot 5K in Rochelle, which takes place from 9-11 a.m. at the REC Center. Running outside before your big meal can help get your metabolism firing on all cylinders so you won’t feel as tired after eating.

If you’d prefer, you could also ask people to bring their bikes and plan to go on a leisurely ride. Doing either gives everyone a chance to talk, enjoy the sights and sounds, and burn off calories after a big meal. And if you know that other people in your family are trying to stay healthy, exercising together is a great way to keep each other accountable.

PLAY A FEW FRAMES OF TURKEY BOWLING

Turkey bowling is a game that’s traditionally played with a frozen turkey in place of a bowling ball. Of course, that’s not entirely sanitary or food-friendly at home, but you can adapt the game and make it more interactive.

A week or more before your get-together, ask everyone coming to decorate a plastic drink bottle or two to make it look like a turkey. Line up your pins at one end of a hallway or the back porch and use a small pumpkin as the bowling bowl. You may even have so much fun that you’ll have created a new Thanksgiving tradition.
