It’s always fun going to baby showers and celebrating the upcoming birth of someone’s child. If you are lending a hand and helping out with throwing the shower for the mommy-to-be your might end up being the one in charge of games or help come up with games. Sometimes if you are hosting the shower you get so tied up with getting decorations and food prepared you forget about games until the last minute. Here are three fun and easy games that you could print off rather quickly by copying and pasting the information into a word processing program on your computer. The celebrity baby name game and the animal baby name game are fun for all ages and perfect for parties that are co-ed.
Celebrity Baby Name Game:
This is a pretty simple and fun game. Your guests have to match the name of the celebrities with the name of the child or children. I have picked some popular celebrity names or children’s names and have made a small list that you could easily copy and paste into any word program. The celebrities children’s names are in order of the celebrity names so if you are using my list you will want to mix up one of these lists for your guests before you print. I would suggest making two columns on your paper. The first column should be of the celebrity parents and the second of the different children’s names so that it is easier on the eyes to match them up. When your guests have finished matching their names have them raise their hands. Immediately go check the first persons paper and if they got them all right they win, if not move on to the next person and so on and so forth until you find the first person with all of the right.
