Thanksgiving Trivia Printable, 60 Questions with Answer Key

A friendly Thanksgiving trivia game you can print tonight: 60 easy-to-medium multiple-choice questions in six rounds of ten, starting with turkey surprises and familiar feast favorites, then mixing in history, harvest, parades, funny foods and holidays near and far. The private host file has every answer with a fun fact to read aloud.

QUICK GAME (the easy way to start)
Print the host file only: pages 1-5 for you, page 14 once per team (4 teams = 4 sheets) and page 16 for the scoreboard. That is 10 sheets, plus pens.
You read each question and its three choices aloud; each team talks it over, and one recorder circles A, B or C. About 20 minutes (our estimate, not a timed result).

SIX ROUNDS
1 Turkey Talk; 2 The Feast; 3 The 1621 Harvest Celebration; 4 Harvest and Autumn; 5 Parades and Funny Foods; 6 Thanksgiving, Near and Far. The quick game plays rounds 1-2; play on if the table wants to.

HOW IT WORKS
Make teams of two to six. Each team picks a recorder and a captain. After you read a question and its choices, teams talk quietly for 20 seconds, then the recorder circles one letter (the captain decides if teammates disagree). After ten questions, swap sheets, award one point per correct answer from the host key, read the fun facts and write round totals on the scoreboard. Highest total wins; ties share. Best for ages 10 and up, or younger players with a helper reading aloud. Mixed ages on each team works well.

OTHER WAYS TO PRINT
Other paper or ink, quick game (host pages / each team / scoreboard): A4 colour 17-21 / 30 / 32. Letter low ink 33-37 / 46 / 48. A4 low ink 49-53 / 62 / 64.
Full six-round game, Letter colour: host pages 1-13, team pages 14-15, scoreboard 16. A4 colour 17-29 / 30-31 / 32. Letter low ink 33-45 / 46-47 / 48. A4 low ink 49-61 / 62-63 / 64. Pick one setup; do not print all 64 pages.
Guests read it themselves (one round at a time): print the guest pages for one round, 2 pages per team or player, plus the matching 2 host key pages for you. Round 1 = guest pages 1-2 and host pages 2-3 (Letter colour). Guests circle A, B or C, then you read the answers and fun facts, about 10 minutes (our estimate). For the next round, print the next pair of guest pages (3-4 for round 2). A4 colour: Guest-A4.pdf 1-2 / host 18-19. Letter low ink: Low-Ink PDF 1-2 / host 34-35. A4 low ink: Low-Ink PDF 13-14 / host 50-51. Large print Letter: Large-Print PDF 1-2 / host 2-3.
The regular, low-ink and large-print pages use the same questions and choices, so they can mix at one table.

Large print applies to guest question pages only; host pages, team answer sheets and scoreboard use regular type.

Print at Actual Size / 100%, single sided. Print only the section of the host file for your paper size and ink choice (page ranges are in the host guide).
