Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Ideas

We have had Charlie Brown Thanksgiving a few times.

Usually, it was just us but last year we decided to surprise our friends… well, the wife and daughter knew about it the but the husband didn’t. He is quite the Charlie Brown fan so it was really nice to see his face and to hear his laughter when he realized what was going on…

So, if you want it to be a surprise then you just casually invite friends over for a dinner.

Thanksgiving for Kids. Celebrate the fall with Charlie Brown Party. — We had a different chair for everyone… and yes, that is a beach chair. My husband sat in it. He wanted to be Franklin.

You might want to add some theme fitting things like:

different chairs for the dining room table (or whether permitting eat outside)
if you have a ping pong table use that as the dinner table
stainless steel dome to cover all the yummy food to be served

white table cloth
napkins folded into boats

Snoopy
Woodstock
Charlie Brown plush doll

Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Food

This is easy! All you need is toast, pretzel sticks, pop corn, jelly beans, and ice cream. Who would not love to cook this kind of Thanksgiving Dinner! Fast, easy, and cheap! And let’s not forget: pretty yummy!!

Kid-approved Thanksgiving dinner!

We used paper plates since we wanted to do what Snoopy did: toss the plates. You should have seen our guest of honor’s face when the plate was flung in front of him. It was funny!

Don’t forget to play awesome background music as the guests arrive and during the dinner. Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Soundtrack is the perfect choice!

Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Activities

1. Watch Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

For us the party has always been about the food and watching Charlie Brown Thanksgiving video. This story is cute and so typical Charlie Brown. Love it.

2. Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Quiz

In my freebies for the My Tuesday Therapy subscribers is a printable Charlie Brown Thanksgiving quiz.

3. Guess the Amount

How many jelly beans in a jar. Easy, easy easy. I love easy to set up games. Just buy a bag or two of jelly beans and put them in a jar. The one whose guess is the closest wins the jar!

4. Play Tag Football

5. Take Photos

Have a photo booth with a few cool props. Wear a pilgrim’s hat or hold up a sign that says “gobble gobble ’till you wobble”

Put a Charlie Brown wall decal on the wall and take pictures with Charlie! This one is a pretty good size.

It would not be a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving without a group photo with Charlie!
