Mother's instincts

Material: Baby Safety Pin
Baby Shower Participant 1 - will have control over the baby safety pin
Mommy-To-Be - acts as the investigator with her "motherly instincts" to solve who has the pin after all.
All Baby Shower Guests - innocent baby face

One baby shower guest is selected by the baby shower host to have a safety pin without the mommy-to-be knowing who was chosen. Have all the rest of the baby shower guests sit with their hands placed together flat against each other (praying position, with finger tips pointing up). Once this has been done, the baby shower guest holding the baby shower pin will do the same with their own hands, but between their hands will be the baby safety pin. Everyone can sit in a circle with the mommy-to-be approaching each individual and asking, "do you have the pin" and see if she can instinctually figure out by non-verbal and voice who has the pin. Each baby shower participant needs to say, "(mommy-to-be's name) I do not have the pin". Everyone should keep an innocent baby face.

What Am I
Materials: Paper, pens, safteypins or strong tape
Place a baby item on each piece of paper (bottle, blanket..ect) and then as the baby shower guests arrive, place the paper on their backs without them seeing what item they were given (what baby object was drawn on the paper) . Inform the guests of the rules. You have to try to guess what you are by asking "Yes" or "No" questions about what kind of baby shower or baby item you are. The questions can not be actual names of items and must be descriptive words like texture, shape, size, color. Example: "can you use it for changing the baby.?" "is it blue?" "is it soft?" or "is it round?" When the baby shower guest figures out what the item is, then they can remove the paper off of their back.
