Games for Baby Showers

What Do You Call a Baby...

Preparation time: 30 minutes

Playing time: 15 minutes

Players: All present

What you'll need

• a large piece of paper or poster board
• a dark marker
• paper and pencils for the guests
• a timer

Before the party

• Do a bit of research. You'll need a list of animals and the proper name for their offspring. Get creative. Sure, everyone knows dog/puppy and cow/calf. But will they get turkey/poult or raccoon/kit? Mix easy and difficult ones.
• List on your poster board -- in clear letters -- the names of 20 adult animals.

At the party

• Seat guests so they can easily see the poster board. Distribute paper and pencils.
• Give guests five minutes to study the board and try to guess the names of as many baby animals as possible.
• The guest with the most correct answers wins.
