Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It’s filled with good food (I adore pumpkin pie) and family. I appreciate that it’s a lower key holiday than Christmas, so I’m able to focus more on the deeper meanings of the Thanksgiving holiday traditions – family and gratitude.

What are some good Thanksgiving trivia questions?

Make sure you have a combination of fun Thanksgiving trivia questions and Thanksgiving facts about this national holiday that broaden your knowledge.

Use your printer to print these question cards out on printer paper or thicker card stock paper.

Print the question cards on one side of the paper and the answers on the backside. Every printer is different, so I recommend you print a test run of one or two cards with answers to make sure they’re printing correctly. The pdf is set up with one page of question cards and the next page with the corresponding answers for the back of the cards. Once you figure out how your printer prints front and back, it should be easy to quickly print all the cards with answers.

Use a paper cutter or pair of scissors to cut each card out.


Expert Tips for Printables

I’m worried about wasting printer ink – what can I do?

Most printers offer you the option to print in greyscale which is in black and white.

You can also look for the option to print in draft or economy mode. This usually means that the sheet is printed out with less ink. It still looks great and is a good way to print in color but use less ink.
