211. Write a made-up story about Thanksgiving using the following words: turkey, family, football, and happiness.

212. What would happen if you got so full of food on T-Giving that you could hardly move? What would your family say?

213. After hearing the phone ring, you pick it up to talk to the person on the other line. Only, it's not a person calling at all, it's the T-Giving turkey! What does the turkey have to say and how do you respond?

214. Who is the most interesting person you've talked with at a Turkey Day dinner? Was it a distant relative? A family friend? What made him or her so unique?

215. What is your favorite food to eat on Turkey Day and why is it your top choice? What is your least favorite T-Giving food and why don't you like it?

216. You have gone back in time to the first Turkey Day! How is the inaugural holiday different from the way your family celebrates the holiday?

217. How would your Turkey Day feast be different if you had to cook all the food yourself? Who would you ask to help you and why?
