This printable game is perfect for your Thanksgiving gathering. A Thanksgiving Tale can be played with individual players filling out stories or as group. All you need to do is copy and paste the story into a Word document, add in free clip art, and print the story for the players. If you elect to let each player write their own story, print enough game sheets for everyone and instruct them to fill in the blanks to create their story. If you prefer to play as a group, print one game sheet and select one person to be the writer. Let each player take turns giving a word (as dictated by the story: noun, adjective, etc.) to fill in the blanks and create the story. Read the story out loud once completed and be prepared for some belly laughs!
