Baby Shower Charades
Great for couples showers too! Fun and Funny! Put the guests in two, three or four groups (depending on guest attendance).
Have ready strips of paper in a bowl with Nursery rhyme titles or characters, ie: Humpty Dumpty, Mary Had A Little Lamb, etc..
You can change your theme to whatever you want, Disney or Universal movies or characters, or different things that babies do, feeding, crying, etc.
The mother-to-be goes first (or picks someone), they then pick from the bowl and use pantomime to act out what's on their paper, no specking is allowed but they may use their fingers to show how many words will have to guessed.
Everyone tries guessing what they're acting out. The guest that guesses receives a baby pin, token,(anything that they can tally later) for their team, they then pick a person on their team to go next (you may also have the teams number each person so #1 would go first, #2 second and so forth).
After every guest as gone tally up, the team with the most tokens wins. For large showers you may want to set a time limit or set an amount of tokens that it would take to win.
Be prepared to give out several small gifts (small candies work).
