In my previous post, I shared a couple of trivia question games you can use for baby shower. Trivia question games, like the guessing games are a hit in any type of parties because they work well with all types of guests and are really exciting to play. But for baby shower, your trivia questions can revolve around baby-related themes, and there are a wide range of themes or categories to choose from. Here are additional trivia question game ideas for you.
1. Cartoon Babies
This is another exciting trivia activity that you and your guests will surely enjoy playing. For this game, your guests will need to channel their inner baby. Plus, it is really easy to organize.
WHAT YOU NEED:
– paper
– pens
– printer/photocopier
– timer
HOW TO DO IT:
We’ve all been kids once, and we’ve all watched cartoons, even as adults. Some of us have had cartoon toys too.
Before the baby shower, prepare copies of worksheets. In the worksheet, draw a line down the middle. On the left side, write the names of cartoon or animated moms or dads.
Example:
– Homer (Dad) and Marge (Mom) Simpson – Bart, Lisa & Maggie (Children)
On the right side of the line will be for the cartoon’s child/baby’s name, so leave that side blank. Print copies of worksheets enough for your guests.
This game is best played in pairs or small groups of 3 or 4. During the game, distribute the worksheets and pens. Ask them to write on the blank side of the worksheet – the names of the cartoon’s child/baby. Set the timer to 8 to 10 minutes. The pair or group who makes the most correct answers will win.
2. Famous Firstborn
This game is also fun and challenging. It focuses on history, pop culture, and others. It puts your guests’ memory and knowledge to a test.
WHAT YOU NEED:
– list of famous parents
– pens
– computer
– printer/photocopier
– answer key
– timer
HOW TO DO IT:
For this game, you will need a little bit of research. You can ask the parents-to-be for help. List 15 to 20 famous parents from different categories: pop culture, history, sports, celebrities, and the likes. Mix them up so that you give your guests the opportunity to guess right. Print-out copies of this list enough for your guests.
This is where your research would come in – you need to research for the name of the famous parent’s “eldest” child. In your master list or answer key, write the name of the eldest child opposite the parent’s name. Print a copy for yourself.
You can play this game in pairs or in small groups of 3-4, depending on the number of guests you have. Provide each pair or group a copy of the printed list of famous parents. Ask them to write the name of the eldest child opposite each famous parent. Set the timer to 8-10 minutes, depending on the number list you have.
When the time is up, pairs or groups will exchange papers. You or the parents-to-be can read out the names of the eldest child of the famous parents from your answer key or master list. The pair or group who gets the most correct wins.
Finally, trivia games works best when played in groups rather than individually. You can mix them with guessing games for they are quite alike. I have shared other trivia question and guessing game ideas in my previous posts. Hopefully, you will find them interesting, and help you while you are organizing your own games for your upcoming baby shower. Remember, like I always say in my previous posts – make sure that you are having as much fun as your guests.
