Name The Names
Tired of playing the usual baby shower games? Are you looking for something inventive and enjoyable, but not very tiring? Most of the time, the games played during showers are too boring, too cheesy or tiring. That’s why to make your party more enjoyable, you must look for unique games that’ll delight your guests, but will not wear them out.
If you want a new baby shower game, why don’t you try a name game of some sort? Name games are fun, yet they do not require much energy. Here’s one popular name game: Name the Names. It’s a name-guessing name that’s becoming popular for many baby shower programs. It’s very apt for a shower, because when a couple learns they’re going to have a baby, they almost immediately start thinking about the baby’s name.
Name The Names is easy to play and it doesn’t require much. All that the guests need are pens and pieces of paper. Even so, the planner or the host will have to prepare the main questionnaire for the game.

Before the party, the host must get a list of names, including those of the mom and dad, their relatives and close friends. The names of the guests on the guest list can also be included. List them on one side of a sheet of paper. On the other side, randomly list each name’s particular meaning. The meanings can be acquired from a baby book. Then, have the questionnaire photocopied. During the party, distribute them to the guests, and let them answer them in a given time limit. The person who gets the most correct answers wins the game.
Although it’s not energetic, Name the Names will surely be a hit for everyone at the party. The game gives guests an exciting time guessing the name’s meanings, and teaches them what their own name means. Try this game at your baby shower, and watch everyone have a great time.
