6- Juneteenth Friendly Feud
If you're as much a fan of "Family Feud" as I am, you're going to LOVE this printable version I created just to celebrate Juneteenth and/or Black History Month!
Juneteenth Feud is such a great addition to your celebration because it's good for the whole family.
I created three rounds - two regular rounds with 8 questions each, then a "fast money" round of 3 questions worth slightly more points to tip the scales a bit.
