Thanksgiving Bingo

Thanksgiving Bingo is a printable card of 25 things that happen at almost every Thanksgiving table: someone burns a dish, the mashed potatoes disappear first, the parade plays in the background. Use it to keep the table entertained between courses, or hand it to the kids' table for something to do while the adults talk. No signup, totally free. Print it before guests arrive or share it on your phone.
