To prepare, 5–8 baby food jars should be purchased. Spoons and napkins are kept nearby. This game is quick, fun, and a little bit messy.

Printable Bingo cards can be found online or made by hand. Buding Star also has printable versions on their site. Small prizes are given to the winners.

3. Don't Say “Baby”

This game starts the moment guests arrive. Each guest is given a pin or sticker. If they say the word “baby,” their pin is taken by the person who hears it. The person with the most pins at the end wins.

It's harder than it sounds! Since the word “baby” is bound to be used, attention must be paid at all times.

Once everyone is done, the items are revealed. The person with the most correct guesses wins. This game tests memory and imagination.
