PLAY SOME FUN GAMES Two Truths and a Lie Print out sheets for mom guests to write down three sentences about their baby’s birth, which will be read aloud when complete. Let the Mom-to-be guess what is true and what is a lie. For example: My labor was less than an hour. My daughter was born with a full head of hair. My husband got a speed- ing ticket on the way to the hospital. After the Mom-to-be guesses, the lie is revealed. Consider a prize for the craziest truth. Baby Dice This is a great way to get the mom-to- be to stop at every table and chat for a few minutes. Purchase some small gifts for prizes and an alphabet die. The players work in teams to spell out BABY SMITH by rolling the dice and marking them off on a sheet. The team to do so is the winner and moves up to the next table. Similar to Bunco, players switch partners and play again for a set amount of time. The player with the most wins
and losses wins a prize. Baby Telestrations

Much like the old game of telephone where you whisper in someone’s ear, Baby Telestrations adds a twist. The first person picks a card with a baby-related term like “diaper change” and draws it on a piece of paper. The next person looks at that drawing and writes their guess as to what the drawing is sup- posed to be and hands that to the next person. They then create a drawing based on that term and so on until the end when all drawings and guesses are revealed. THINGS THAT WILL FILL THE BABY’S MEDICINE CABINET • Digital thermometer
