The object of the game is not to say ‘baby’.

When each guest arrives give each one a clothes pin (or possibly a diaper pin) and ask them to pin the pin to their clothing either on their shirt or hem of their skirt.

If a guest hears another guest say the word baby then they can claim their clothes pin.
The guest who collects the most clothes pins is the winner.
It may be best to set a time limit for this game so that people can relax after the games is over, something like half an hour would be good.

This game is a very good way to break the ice at a baby shower where guests do not know each other very well to chat.

At the shower you have to collect every bodies guess, now I have seen this done more than one way but the easiest is to prepare a sign in sheet so as your guest arrive they can sign the list and write their guess beside there name, if this is a large party then this also gets you a nice list of who showed up.

Alternate method (Works good at small showers): Ask each of your baby shower guests to take a guess at how many pieces of candy there are in the baby’s bottle and write down their answer on a piece of paper.

The guest whose guess is the nearest to the total of the correct answer wins.

Enjoy and Have a Good’n!
