Collect&nbsp; 2 of several kinds of nuts that a squirrel might eat for Thanksgiving dinner- 2 shelled peanuts, 2 almonds, 2 acorns, and 2 unshelled walnuts.  <\/p>\n<p>Place 2 of the bowls at one end of the room and put one of each kind of nut in each bowl. Place the other 2 empty bowls directly across from them at the other end of the room. <\/p>\n<p>Divide those that want to play&nbsp; into 2 equal teams. Give each person a set of chopsticks and line teams up in a row from the full bowl to the empty bowl.  <\/p>\n<p>On the word \u201cgo\u201d, the person nearest the full bowl will pick up one of the nuts with their chopsticks, and will&nbsp; pass it down the line to the next person, also using chopsticks. Once they have passed the first nut they can pick up the second nut and begin passing it- the don\u2019t need to wait for the first nut to get passed to the end. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/familyreunionhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Squirrel-and-Autumn-Nuts_04.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Squirrel and Autumn Nuts_04\" style=\"border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Squirrel and Autumn Nuts_04\" src=\"http:\/\/familyreunionhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Squirrel-and-Autumn-Nuts_04_thumb.png\" width=\"240\" height=\"240\"><\/a>&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>Participants can not use their fingers.&nbsp; If they drop one of the nuts they must run it back to the starting bowl and begin passing it again. <\/p>\n<p>The team that gets all four nuts to the empty bowl first wins! <\/p>\n<p>NOTE:&nbsp; You can easily involve more players by adding more teams or repeating the game after the first 2 teams face off ending with the \u201cchampionship\u201d game. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/familyreunionhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Squirrel-and-Autumn-Nuts_041.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Squirrel and Autumn Nuts_04\" style=\"border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Squirrel and Autumn Nuts_04\" src=\"http:\/\/familyreunionhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Squirrel-and-Autumn-Nuts_04_thumb1.png\" width=\"240\" height=\"240\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>You can usually purchase chopsticks from Oriental restaurants or from Amazon (100 sets for under $10.00- with prime shipping) <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ecx.images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/818iNzM25aL._SL1500_.jpg\" width=\"206\" height=\"206\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A large group game for all ages- perfect for Thanksgiving fun! &nbsp; For two teams you will need 4 bowls and a set of chopsticks for each person playing the game.
