Questions people ask

What are good Thanksgiving trivia questions?
A mix of history (Lincoln made it national in 1863, the Wampanoag shared the 1621 feast) and fun (the Macy's parade, the Lions and Cowboys games, what a male turkey is called).
Was pumpkin pie served at the first Thanksgiving?
Almost certainly not. The colonists had no ovens, butter or wheat flour for a crust. The only written account mentions fowl and deer.
How do you end a Thanksgiving quiz on a good note?
Ask everyone for one word they're grateful for and show it as a word cloud. Read the biggest words aloud.
