Why it works as a party game

It runs while the turkey rests. Thanksgiving party games that do not need a host are how you cook and still throw a party.

How to play

  1. Count the kernels in private.
  2. Guests write one guess on arrival.
  3. Reveal after the main course.
  4. Closest guess wins the jar.

Hosting tips

  • A second jar for kids with larger pieces.
  • Ties split the prize.
  • Do not let anyone shake it into a count.
