• Ask everyone in your family to think of or write down a list of things they think of when they hear the word Thanksgiving and see how many of the words each person comes up with matches up with another person’s list of words.
• Divide into individual or group teams and think of 3 other words to build out the vocabulary list in the categories “Food,” “Mayflower,” or “Gratitude”.
• Have each person try using two words from the list in a sentence.  If the player is successful, have her try using three words. See who can use the most words in one sentence.
