The Great Crave Game

Materials: Paper and pens
Have the mommy-to-be write down her cravings and have her describe them to their guests without saying the name of the food. It will give the baby shower guests a lot of laughs and reminiscing about their own "mommy wants". Thanks to Tami for this great baby shower game!
