According to my American friends, Thanksgiving has been celebrated for years with children playing some familiar Pilgrim games such as practising tongue twisters. Children today still play many games that the Pilgrim children likely played at the first Thanksgiving , such as checkers, hide and seek, leap frog and tic, tac, toe. Other Pilgrim children's games that kids still play today include; running races, playing with tops and marbles and sharing riddles.
