Turkey Hangman for Thanksgiving Games

Video Transcript

"Hello, I'm Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to tell you all about Thanksgiving games and activities. The next game is a variation of hangman. A lot of you have played hangman I bet, or if you're not familiar with the title you will be after I've described it. Hangman is where there is one person near a chalk or dry erase board and basically they have a word up there and you are asking questions for clues and hints on what the word is. Some people are more strict on that. Some people don't allow anything, any questions. One person comes up with a word and then maybe they will give you a hint on what it is. Such as, this is one of the ways that if you really, really want to cook a turkey fast, this is what you set the over to. And then what happens is you start guessing letters. Every single time you say a wrong letter, well, the turkey gets a little close to being strung up. So, because what will happen is you will draw like a little piece of a turkey on the board. So, first often times you'll draw the gallows and the noose. Then you'll start drawing the turkey. The only thing I advise is to make sure how many steps, how many ways you're going to draw it. How long is it going to take you to draw the turkey. If it's going to take you eighty steps to draw the turkey, odds are the person will have guessed the word before then. So make sure you can draw a real quick simple stick turkey. Could even be very much like a stick, like a stick person, except for maybe just like a little beak or a little feather on the side. It doesn't have to be intricate but it can be a really nice fun yet familiar game with a Thanksgiving twist."
