This document describes the game "Turkey Toss" as a Thanksgiving party idea. In the game, pairs of players take turns with one person as the "turkey" and the other as the "farmer." The farmer tosses candy corn for the turkey to catch in its mouth. Pairs are eliminated if the turkey fails to catch the corn. The game continues with distances increased until one pair remains or all pairs fail to catch the corn. The goal is for pairs to feed the turkey and see how much it can eat for Thanksgiving.
