• Both files are in pdf below. There is one file for 30 Thanksgiving questions. There is another file for the blank cards. Just hit the “download” button (or pink word “download,” depending upon browser).
• The default size of these is full-page per 6 cards. However, if you want smaller, simply reduce the print size.
