About this template

Friendsgiving Bingo

Friendsgiving Bingo is a printable card of 25 things that happen when your friends host Thanksgiving instead of your family: two people bring the same side dish, the host runs out of oven space, a folding chair comes out of somebody's trunk, a pie shows up store-bought and unapologetic. Hand a card to everyone as they walk in and see who fills a row first, or leave a stack on the counter for the slow stretch between courses. Free, and there is nothing to sign up for.
