Holiday gatherings will soon be in full swing. With them come food, family, friends – and likely a dash of chaos during critical cooking times.

Hosts might need an activity to calm their stress. Guests might need a distraction while waiting for the turkey to come out of the oven. The puzzles and comics regularly found in The Journal Gazette’s Living section are a great start, and we’ve created some additional games to entertain children and the young at heart.

We are also asking children to design an ornament that might be shared with the community. The activities can be downloaded in PDFs below and printed at home, and are available in the Nov. 22 edition of The Journal Gazette.
