How To Play Thanksgiving Outburst
1. Divide players into two teams. Each team will take turns guessing answers.

3. Team 1 marks off correct answers from the pre-written list on the card.
4. Each correct answer is one point. One bonus point is earned if the team guesses all six answers on the card.
5. After the time is up, the next team takes their turn.
6. Play continues until all the Outburst cards are used.
7. The team with the most points wins!
