Baby Shower Game Poem

Baby Shower Game Poem - (Materials: paper with poem written on it). This is a fun icebreaker and interactive game. The baby shower host should type or write the poem on a piece of paper. She should start the game by giving the baby shower poem to one of the guests who must read the first line (#1). Each person that receives the poem thereafter must read the next number and follow its instructions. It's a great way to get everyone socializing. The person last holding the poem receives a shower gift.

Have the mommy-to-be or another baby shower guest start reading the first line and then follow the poem's instructions of who will read next:

1. The word is out, quick send a cable. This poem goes to the lady across the table.

2. If someone wears a dress or blouse of blue, she must take this note from you. But if blue cannot be seen, surely pink is just as keen.

3. Take this note and read the verse. Pass it to the gal who carries the largest purse. If it is you, keep the note. If not, then pass to the largest tote.

4. We're getting trickier, and here's a humdinger. Pass this note to the gal with the most rings on her fingers.

5. You're doing great! What a success! Pass this note to the girl with the most buttons on her dress.

6. Alas, this note is not for you, but now it passes to the lady who, with rage, admits to being the oldest age!

7. Don't despair, here's the clue. This must be handed to the lady with the largest shoe.

8. (Mom's name) is getting anxious and (he or she) is getting nervous. Pass this to the lady who drove the furthest.

9. The baby's birth is getting closer. Mom and dad will have a ball, so pass this the lady who is the most tall.

10. We hope you're all having fun, and we tried to include most everyone, from the largest purse to the largest shoe. Now, pass this now to the gal to the right of you.

11. The shower is almost over, and the punch is nearly gone. Pass this to the lady with the smallest earrings on.

12. There won't be time to practice, and there won't be time to rehearse. Pass this to the lady with the most lipstick in her purse.

13. Roses are red, Violets are blue, pass this to the lady to the left of you.

14. On this last line, we're ending this rhyme. The gift on the table is mine. How fine!
