Ways to Have Fun Learning Spelling Words


 
The worst part of going back to school is the thought of having to help the kids with spelling words every week. You would think that I was giving my kid a root canal every week when I would tell her it was time to work on the dreaded spelling words. She would have a melt down. She would cry the whole time she had to write her spelling words out. She would fuss and fidget the whole time we studied them. I decided that I had to get creative to get her to want to learn her spelling words or at the very least not melt down every week when we had to study new words. So I came up with a number of ideas that might help other parents battle through the torturous task of helping your child learn new words each week.
 
Flashcards are a great way to practice reading and spelling words. I always make a set of flash cards each week using index cards or small piece of paper from small notebooks. Practicing flashcards in different places can make it more fun too. Like when you are grocery shopping or studying them in the car. I will give my daughter the flashcard that she says and spells correctly. When she has all the cards then we know we are done. Sometimes when she gets a word right I will give her a little treat like a skittle or when she gets them all right for the week I would reward her with a favorite treat like a bowl of rainbow sherbet.
 
Texting is a fun way for your child to learn their words as well as where letters are on a keyboard. If your child has a cell phone or if you have more than one cell phone in the family then you can tell your child a spelling word and have them text it to you.
Using a computer word program would also be a great way for your child to learn their words as well as where letters are on a keyboard. Do a practice test by saying each word to your child and have them type the words into a word program.
 
Spellingcity.com is a new discovery for us this year thanks to my daughters' second grade teacher. Each week the spelling words are loaded into the online program and my child can take practice tests and play word games that will help her learn her words in a fun way. I really like this program!
 
If you have a chalkboard then this is a great tool for your child to work on spelling words. Writing spelling words on plain paper can get really boring so if you do something as simple as change how they write out their words then it makes learning more interesting and fun. I had turned my daughters bedroom door into a chalkboard simply by painting it with chalkboard paint.
 
Sidewalk chalk is another way to get them into learning their words. Let your child write their words on the driveway, patio or porch. When they are done working, let them have some free time to draw whatever they want as a reward.
 
Whiteboards are also fun. I don't care how old you are, playing with dry erase markers is fun!
I always felt that sign language should be taught to everyone. It's a skill I wish I had learned growing up. Some schools are teaching the basics of American Sign Language by teaching the children to sign the letters of the alphabet. Have your child sign the letters to spell out their spelling words. Not only will they learn their words but also it helps them learn a life skill that may help them communicate with someone someday.
 
Watercolor paints are super cheap and super fun. Having your grade schooler use watercolors to write spelling words is another creative way to keep them interested. When they do a good job allow them to have free time to paint a picture.
 
Stencils can be a fun way to spell out words. After they spell their words correctly with the stencils they can spend time coloring in their work.
 
Practice tests are a necessary evil to insure that your child is ready for the real deal. Small rewards for getting their practice tests right will go a long way. Try giving an extra half hour of television or no chores that night.
 
Aqua Doodle Mat is not just for toddlers anymore. I have whipped out the Aqua Doodle Mat for practice tests to make them a little more fun. There are other Aqua Doodle products out there that would work as well.
 
Spelling Balloons are the most recent craze at our house right now. Blow up a balloon or two depending on the amount of words you have and the size of your balloons. The bigger the balloon the easier it is for the child to write on it. And give your child a marker and have them write their spelling words on the balloon. It is super fun and they can also enjoy drawing on the balloon as well as a reward.

How to Make a Ribboned Hair Bow Out of Your Own Hair


 
 
A beautiful ribbon hair bow is a lot easier to achieve than it looks. It can be a simple everyday look or a more elegant look for special occasions. This hair bow looks good on any age and you don't have to be a professional hairstylist to get this awesome hairdo!
 
Step 1: Start with pulling your hair back into a partial ponytail with a hair tie that matches your hair color.
 
Step 2: Pull out a small section of hair from the top of the ponytail and pin it forwards out of the way with a bobby pin for now.
 
Step 3: Separate ponytail into two sections and clip one the right section out of the way.
 
Step 4: With a large curing iron, curl the left section inward towards the face. Clip this section out of the way.
 
Step 5: Unclip the right section and curl this section inward towards the face. Tease this section to give it some volume and spray with hairspray. Wrap the hair inward to create a bow and secure with bobby pins to the back of your head. Place bobby pins on the top and the bottom of the bow.
 
Step 6: Tease the left section to give it some volume and spray with hairspray. Wrap hair inward to create the other half of the bow and secure with bobby pins to the back of your head. Place bobby pins on the top and the bottom of the bow.
 
Step 7: Spray the bow with hairspray and smooth out any fly aways. Then take the small section of hair that was pinned up on the top of the head and bring it straight down in the back. This will cover the middle of the bow. Pin with a bobby pin at the bottom of the ponytail. You should now see a finished bow with curled ribbon pieces hanging down.
 
If you don't like the ribbons hanging down or want a different variation of this hairstyle, simply roll up the curls and stuff inside the middle of each side of the bow and pin.

Secrets of Saving 70%-90% Couponing at CVS Pharmacy

I always thought that drug stores were the most expensive place to shop but I have been sadly mistaken. Like many others I have been fascinated by these extreme Couponers and have been attempting to get on the couponing bandwagon myself. The last place I would have thought to shop for deals would be a drug store. I always thought their prices were outrageously way too high. And for the most part they are higher than a store like Wal-Mart or Dollar General. However, I have quickly learned that things truly are not as they appear. CVS is probably one of the cheapest places to buy personal care and other household goods that you use everyday. Believe it or not!!!!
 
There are however a couple of tricks of the trade. You really, really have to study the ads that come out every week and only buy when items are on sale or have a special promotion going on. Lets start with the basics of CVS.
 
CVS has an awesome reward program which personally I think is one of if not the best award program I have seen plus it's a lot of fun to use and gets me super excited to go shopping every week. I am now to the point where I can go to CVS a couple of times a week and actually have fun doing it. I'm not really big on shopping but when I'm getting great deals it doesn't make shopping feel like a chore.
 
The reward program that CVS has is called the CVS Extra Care Rewards program, which allows you to earn Extra Care Bucks (ECB) that you can use basically as cash towards purchases in the store. If you do not have a CVS Extra Care card then you will need to go into your local store and apply for one. It only takes a few minutes and you can start saving money immediately.
 
Once you have your reward card, mosey on over to the Coupon Center which is the "magic" coupon machine that many of us CVS shoppers call it. Scan your CVS ExtraCare card and the machine will spit out a couple of coupons for you. Remember to scan your card every week for new coupons. I have heard that some people scan their card every time they go to CVS even if it's a couple of times a week and I have heard of people scanning their card multiple times in one trip but I have not tried this. I am also told that the coupons that come out of the Coupon Center are random and that not everyone receives the same coupons however, I am not sure if this is truth.
 
Each quarter you will receive ECB for your prescriptions and on all your purchases. For every two prescriptions filled you will get $1 ECB and 2% of your everyday purchases.
 
Another awesome program CVS has is the CVS/pharmacy Green Bag Tag. You can find these up by the register. They are only a dollar and you attach it to your reusable bag. Each time you purchase an item bring in your reusable bag and show the cashier your Green tag to be scanned along with your CVS card to be scanned. Then on every 4th visit you will receive a $1 ECB.
 
And yet another cool program that CVS has is that you can go online and sign up for the ExtraCare Beauty Club. You will then receive $5 ECB every time you spend $50 on beauty products.
When each ad comes out on Sundays, study the ad carefully. The first thing I look for are the items that are on sale and offer ExtraCare Bucks. Then I look in my coupon stash and see if I have any coupons I could match up to the products on sale. This is where you can save even more money by matching up the manufactures coupons with items that are already on sale for an even deeper discount. And what's even better is that your ECB is calculated prior to the deduction of manufacturers coupons. Whoot, Whoot!
 
Here is an example of a few great deals I found this week.
CVS advertised Dove hair care 5-12 oz products on sale 2 for $6, which ends up being $3 each. The regular retail price for Dove 12 oz shampoo is $4.99. So on sale you are saving $1.99 each. If you spend $15 on Dove products you will receive $5 ECB. I had coupons for $3.00 off two Dove hair care products and this would leave each bottle of shampoo or conditioner only $1.50 each. I purchased 5 bottles at $3.00 each on sale, which totaled the $15.00 I needed to get the $5 ECB. I used 5 manufacturers coupons and got each bottle for $1.50 each. The total after coupons was $7.50 (that's about 70% off retail) plus I got a $5 ECB so if you want to take that off its like getting 5 bottles of Dove shampoo for 50 cents a piece (or 90% off retail). Pretty awesome huh!! No dollar store can beat that price!!!
 
Here's an awesome deal I got on P&G products this week. If you spend $30 on select P&G products in the ad for week ending 9-11-12 you will get $10 ECB. I always like to take advantage of the high dollar Extrabucks. Aussie shampoo and conditioner was on sale for 2 for $5.97 (reg. $5.49) and I had a manufacturers coupon for $3.00 off 2 and a CVS coupon from the coupon machine (also known as a CRT) for $1.00 of an Aussie product. I got a credit for buying $5.97 of P&G Aussie but only spent $1.97 on 2 bottles. Then I bought 4 bottles of Pantene shampoo on sale for $5.99 each (reg. $6.49) and used 2 coupons of $3.00 off 2 Pantene shampoos, making them $4.49 each. Then a small bottle of Gillette Fusion shave gel for $2.37 and I had a coupon for $1.00 off so it was only $1.37. I would have spent $39.01 retail but on sale it would have been $32.33 however with my coupons deducted I only spent 21.30. Then I used the $5 ECB from my Dove deal above and $1 ECB from my 4th visit using my Green bag tag and I spent a total of $15.30 before tax and got 4 bottles of Pantene shampoo (these were the large bottles) and 2 bottles of Aussie shampoo and one shave gel.
 
A few tips:
One thing to remember when using your ECB is that you need to use the full amount of you will lose it and to make sure you pay attention to the expiration dates. For example, if you have an ECB for $10.00 and the items you are purchasing only total $7.00 then you either need to add more to your purchase to get it to the $10 mark or above or don't use the ECB on that purchase. If you use the $10 ECB on the $7 item you will not get a credit for the remaining $3 on the ECB. You will lose it!
Always shop with your coupon stash or book. CVS has some great deals on clearance items and if you have a coupon to add to the clearance item then you will save even more.
 
CVS does give rains checks so if an item that is on sale is out of stock don't be afraid to have them right up a rain check for the quantity you want and lock in that great sale price.
 
Also pay attention to the bottom of your receipts. As long as you use your CVS card every time you purchase something, on the bottom of your receipts you will find running totals of your Beauty Club spending and Extra Buck offers for that week. So say on that P&G offer I showed you above, if you only bought the Aussie items for $5.97, it will show on your receipt that you need $24.03 more of P&G to get the ECB for that week. The CVS receipts are the best receipts I have ever seen, they keep track of everything, I love it! I like to go home and figure out what I would have paid if the items were not on sale and I didn't use coupons and then compare it to what I actually paid. It's so fun and rather addicting!

Easy Handmade UTEE Christmas Ornaments, Jewelry and Gifts

UTEE Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel is made by Ranger Ink and is used in many craft projects to give your pieces a beautiful enamel finish. There are two colors in their UTEE Brightz collection that are great for Christmas projects: Red Poppy and Spruce Green. These pearlescent embossing powders can be used with a heat gun to create textured embossing on your projects or can be melted in a melting pot, which is the technique we will use for this project. By melting the embossing enamel in a melting pot it changes powder into a liquid form that can be used to pour into molds or allow you to dip items into the pot to be coated with the enamel.
 
Supplies Needed:
UTEE Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel (Red Poppy and Spruce Green)
 
Heat up The Melting Pot and poor in some Red Poppy UTEE and allow it to melt into a liquid form. Next poor the liquefied UTEE onto the non-stick craft sheet large enough to cover the metal cookie cutter that you want to use. Next press your cookie cutter into the middle of the UTEE and allow time to harden. After it has hardened but is still a little warm, lift off the craft sheet and press down on the cookie cutter and up on the UTEE that is on the outside of the metal cookie cutter. Then press the hardened UTEE out of the inside of the metal cookie cutter. While its still warm it is a little flexible and you can alter the shape if you like to make it look a little bent or twisted. You will also want to punch a hole in the top of the object while it is still warm so that you can thread ribbon through it to hang it on your tree.
 
The negative space can also become an ornament as well or can be used in other projects. If you do not want to have any left over negative space you can place your cookie cutter on your non-stick craft sheet and then poor your melted UTEE into your cutter and allow time to harden. The pop out and put a whole in the top for hanging.
 
You can use this same technique to make other handmade gifts such as pendants for necklaces or to wear on your clothes, beautiful gift tags, scrapbook embellishments, refrigerator magnets and so much more!

Ideas and Wording for Save the Date Cards

We all take great pride in an upcoming celebration that we are planning whether it is a wedding, anniversary, graduation, birthday, a homecoming, etc. There is always a cause for a get-together. I even have a friend that throws a little shindig for the anniversary of her husbands vasectomy. So if we are going through all the work of planning and executing a gathering of some sort, be it a six person anniversary dinner or a 500 guest wedding and reception, then we should take all steps in trying to make it as successful as possible. One such thing would be to send out save the date cards to your guests as soon as you decide on the date of the celebration. This will ensure that all guests have as much notice as possible and they can plan accordingly for the special occasion.
 
Save the date cards are a simple announcement sent to your guests that lets them know of your upcoming event. These cards are sent several months in advance and a formal invitation will follow at a later date. It is important to remember when sending out save the date cards that everyone who receives a card must receive a formal invitation. Therefore it is important to have your guest list finalized prior to sending out the save the date cards. For the most part, save the date cards are sent in the form of a post card because this is just a simple acknowledgement of the event. There is no need for a fancy card and envelop. The use of bright colors, unique clip art, photos and such will draw attention to the card and help those who receive it remember the event. Postcards will also save you money on postage and you won't have the added expense of the envelop. Also for those jumping on the green bandwagon, (kudos to you if you have and if you haven't please do consider it) you are being more environmentally friendly as you are eliminating the use of some paper by not using envelops. If you are making your save the date cards yourself, you can buy recycled paper or use a printer that uses recycled materials!
 
For those brides out there who are sending out save the date cards for your upcoming wedding, you may feel the need to have top of the line save the date cards or something more unique like fans, puzzles, magnets, etc. I get it, you want your wedding to be perfect down to the last detail, most brides do and many have been dreaming of their wedding day since they were a little girl or so the story goes. Unless you're one of these "Platinum Brides" where money is no object, I say, skip the fancy-dancy announcements here and use the money you save towards the formal invitation or the Thank You cards later. I'm not knocking the fancy save the date cards, if you can afford it then go for it, there are some really cool stuff out there! But let's face it, how may people save the save the date cards and scrapbook it later. That usually ends up in the trash once the formal invite arrives and that's what most of us use as the keepsake for the occasion.
 
Whatever the celebration is there is typically a theme. A theme could just mean it's a wedding or a birthday where you can use clipart of a wedding cake, wedding rings or birthday balloons or you can be more specific like a Halloween wedding or a cowboy birthday party. Incorporating a theme into the save the date cards gives it a little bit of a personal touch and gives the guest a sneak peak at what to expect at the party. For example, if you are having a Halloween Wedding, you may want your guests to dress up in costumes. You can decorate the card with Halloween clipart or maybe a picture of the bride and groom in their Halloween costumes from last year. You will also want to mention that guests are being asked to dress up in a costume of their choice. This will give the guests plenty of time to look for a great costume!
 
Since save the date cards are most commonly used for weddings, I have compiled a list of 25 ideas for wording that you can use on your cards.

Over 150 Creative Wedding Scrapbook Sayings and Page Titles

There are so many moments in time that we capture with our cameras that make us want to make scrapbook pages. However, there are definitely a handful of moments in time where an event warrants its own scrapbook to be made and displayed, weddings being one milestone that is popular to scrap.
 
Scrapbooking the photos from your wedding, reception and honeymoon is a lot of fun. Part of the fun is reliving the moments by looking at the photos and creating beautiful pages to display them on. Finding the perfect title for your scrapbook pages is key. It makes the page even more special. Also adding a short little paragraph describing the photo or a memory of that moment will help you remember all the little details from your wedding that we tend to forget as the years pass us by.
 
When making an album of the wedding ceremony, include photos of all the people who were a part of the wedding party from the ring bearer to the grandparents of the couple. Also include elements of the wedding such as the bridal bouquet, the rings, the shoes, the flowers, the wedding programs, etc. If there are special elements in the wedding like an heirloom the bride may be wearing include photos of those elements too.

170 Fall/Autumn Scrapbook Titles and Greeting Card Sayings

Fall is my favorite time of year. The changing of the leaves are so beautiful. It kicks off my favorite trio of holidays: Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I would have to say my most favorite thing about fall is that you can find caramel apples in all the grocery stores! I used to be the only one in the family that was addicted to caramel apples but now just about everyone fights over them. There is never enough. There are so many fun projects you can do with the kids that are related to the season. Making fall decorations to display in the windows and baking treats for school parties are some of the projects we like to do. This is also a great time of year to get the camera out and take pictures of your surroundings, trick or treating, baking, crafting, football games, etc. By the end of the season many of us have stacks of photos to scrap or tons of digital files to go through for our scrapbooks. Here is a list of page titles that you could use on those beautiful scrapbook pages you will make this fall or you can use these sayings on your fall greeting cards.

260 Baby Boy and Boy Scrapbook Page Titles and Greeting Card Sayings

Scrapbooking can be loads of fun. For many of us, we are addicted to it like caffeine. It is fun to create new pages to showcase our beautiful pictures of our life's stories. Many times the picture says it all! You get inspiration from whatever the event was that you have documented. When you look at the photos you are putting into a layout ideas pop into your head and you instantly get a title for your page. But sometimes it can be difficult to come up with new ideas. What stumps many of us are page titles.

One of the most popular subjects to scrap is a baby. Many new moms take zillions of photos of their newborns and toddlers, especially the first child. Then we want to put them in memory books for our children to enjoy later. Well it can be hard to come up with yet another page title for your baby's pages because you have made so many of them or have so many photos to scrap. So I have complied a list of 260 simple page titles that you can use as a reference when you get writers block. These scrapbooking page titles are geared towards baby boys and younger boys. They may be fitting for greeting card sayings as well.

Over 100 Thanksgiving Scrapbook Page Titles and Greeting Card Sayings

We have been celebrating Thanksgiving in the United States since 1863. It is popular belief that the first Thanksgiving was celebrated over a span of three days to give thanks to God for the pilgrims surviving their first harsh winter in New England. It was a great feast shared by the pilgrims and Native Americans. It is thought by many to be one of their favorite holidays and is a wonderful time to take pictures of the family during your Thanksgiving festivities. Here is a list of great ideas to use as scrapbook titles to compliment your Thanksgiving photos or to use in your holiday greeting cards. You could also print a banner to put on your wall as decoration for your Thanksgiving get-together print some of these titles on name cards for your table, print these titles on decorative paper and wrap around candles for your table centerpiece or around your water glasses. If you are making party favors for your guests you can add a saying to the gift tag.

How to Regrow Some of Your Favorite Green Vegetables

There is no doubt that organic and non-GMO vegetables are better quality produce. Organic vegetables are grown without using synthetic chemicals or genetically modified organisms and must be processed and packaged without additives, artificial colors or preservatives. Therefore, the end product is of better quality and is healthier for us to consume. For this, we often pay a higher price for the best possible food we could eat but it is worth the investment for good health.

It can be a financial struggle to buy the best quality food for our families so if there is a way for us to make our groceries last we should do everything we can to do so. Many people do not realize that they can easily regrow vegetables that they get from the grocery store or farmers market. You can also save the seeds of foods and replant them in your own gardens, planters, etc. This is highly recommended if you are buying organic and non-GMO fruits and vegetables.

The first time I tried to regrow a vegetable I tried green onions. I remember my mom used to do this trick when I was a kid and thought I would give it a try. If you cut off the green top part of the onion and put the white part with the roots still intact in a glass of water by a sunny window (all you need is about an inch of the white part with the roots). In a couple of days, the bulbs of the onions will start to sprout more greens. You can transplant them into soil or allow them to grow in the glass of water. Be sure to change the water daily, it will have a bad odor if you do not. Green onions are also referred to as spring onions or scallions.

Lettuce (romaine is popular), leeks, bok choy, cabbage, celery, and fennel can all be regrown from the root stump waste that you would typically throw away from the vegetable you buy from the supermarket. When you cut the stump off the vegetable you are going to use from the grocery store, cut about 1 to 2 inches from the root of the vegetable to leave a 1 to 2 inch stump to use to regrow. Remember to buy organic whenever possible! Place the stumps in a bowl or glass that has enough water to cover the stem/root of the vegetable. Do not allow the entire stump to get submerged in water. Place the bowl in a sunny window. Change the water every day and rinse the stump every day as well to help prevent mold growth. You can also peel away some of the outer layers of the vegetable to help prevent mold growth. After a week or two the vegetable should start to sprout new leaves or stalks and will be ready to be transplanted into a garden or planter.

Re-growing your store bought vegetables is a great way to get more out of your money. It's a fun science project for kids and a great way to teach them to grow their own food.

31 Baby Shower Games

Baby showers shouldn't be just about the mommy and baby to be, that's why there are games to keep the guests entertained and having a good time. It's important that the mommy feels love and support from her friends and family however it's equally important that the guests feel their presence is appreciated. This is where the games come into play. Try planning games that you haven't seen before at a shower or you haven't seen done lately. Here is a list of some awesome ideas that will keep the party going!
 
1. "I NEVER" College Fund: Ask your guest to bring a loose change to the shower for this fun game. Each guest will have a turn to say "I NEVER…" and name something they never did like skydive. Those guests that have done it will put a coin in the piggy bank.
 
2. Animal Baby Name Game: Make a list of adult animal names and a list of what their babies are called. For example a dog's babies name is a puppy. Have your guests match the right animal name to its baby name.
 
3. Baby Bingo: Each guest gets a bingo card that has blank bingo boxes. The guest then fills in gift ideas they think the mommy will receive in each box. As gifts are opened they put an X on the box that has the gift written in it. The first person to get bingo wins or the person that gets the most correct.
 
4. Baby Bottle Drinking Game: Fill up bottles of your guests' choice of drink. Then say "GO" and have your guests drink the entire contents of the bottle. The person that drinks it all first wins.
 
5. Baby Food Category Game: Each guest will get a pen and paper and one minute per category to write down baby food items they think will fall under that category. The person with the most acceptable answers wins (decided by group). Categories you could use are: Baby foods that can be stored in freezer, Baby foods that start with the letter P. Baby foods that are green.
 
6. Baby Mad Libs: Give each guest an index card and have them write a question related to the care of a baby. They cannot be yes or no questions. Then have them turn the card over so the question is facing down and hand the card to the person next to them. That person now has to write the answer to their original question (the question they wrote) on the new card. Then have the mommy-to-be read the questions and answers. It makes for some funny stuff.
 
7. Baby Name Game: Give your guests one letter of the alphabet. See how many baby names they can think of that start with that letter.
 
8. Baby Price Is Right: Paste photos of baby items on a poster board and number them. Ask your guests to write down what they think the current retail price is for each item. The guest with the most right answer wins a prize.
 
9. Baby Shower Raffle: Give your guests a raffle ticket as they enter the shower. Throughout the shower you can draw tickets and award winners with a gift. You could also tell your guests through the invite that there will be a raffle during the shower for door prices and if they would like to enter they must bring a baby item such as a bottle of baby powder, baby shampoo, etc. Or you could charge each guest a dollar per ticket and the money can go to the mommy-to-be or a date night fund for the happy couple.
 
10. Baby Shower Word Game: See how many words you can make out of the words "BABY SHOWER." The person with the most words wins. You can put a time limit on this game.
 
11. Baby Song Game: Play parts of songs that have "Baby" in the song. Have guests guess that name of the song. If you want to make it harder make them guess the right artist as well.
 
12. Celebrity Baby Name Game: Make a list of celebrity names and a list of their children's names. Have your guests match the right kids name to the parent. The person with the most correct wins.
13. Celebrity Headbands: Place a picture of a celebrity mama on the forehead (use headbands or disposable adhesive wrap bandages) or your guest or tape the photo to their backs. Do not allow that guest to see the photo. Then they will have yes or no questions to figure out who she is.
 
14. Decorate Onesies: This is more of a project than a game but you could judge the finished onesies and the best one wins. I would set this up for the kids at the party to keep them busy while the adults mingle and talk baby. Set up a craft area with clothing paints for the kids to decorate onesies for the new baby. Place a piece of cardboard inside the onesie to make it sturdy and to prevent paints from bleeding through.
 
15. Dirty Diaper Hot Potato: Have your guests sit in a circle and pass around a dirty diaper filled with melted chocolate to music. When the music stops the one holding the diaper is out of the game. Keep playing until there is only one left and that's the winner!
 
16. Dirty Diaper: Melt different kinds of candy bars inside newborn diapers (or use folded napkins to save a few bucks). Pass around the dirty diapers and have your guests try to guess the right name of the candy bar.
 
17. Don't Say Baby: Give each guest a safety pin and tell him or her that they are not allowed to say the word "baby" until its time to open presents. If another guest hears any other guest say the word baby they can take their safety pin. Before you start to open presents, check to see which guest has accumulated the most safety pins and they win the game.
 
18. Dough Baby: Give all your guests a small clump of Play-Doh and let them mold it into a shape of the baby. The mommy-to-be will judge the babies and the best one is the winner.
 
19. Draw a Baby: Have each guest put a paper plate on his or her head and draw a baby. The mommy-to-be judges whose picture is the best drawing of a baby. The winner gets a prize.
 
20. Finish The Nursery Rhyme: Make a list of popular lines from nursery rhymes and leave out a few words. Have your guests fill in the missing words. The person with the most correct wins. For example, "Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was ___________."
 
21. Guess How Many: Fill a baby bottle with small items like M&M's or Cheerios. Ask your guests to guess how many they think are in the bottle. The person that comes the closest without going over wins!
 
22. Guess Mommy's Tummy Size: Have guests tear off a piece of crape paper that they think would fit around the mommy-to-be's tummy perfectly with no excess. Measure the mommy's tummy and then compare the crape paper pieces to the real measurement and who ever comes closest wins.
 
23. Guess That Celebrity Baby: Show your guests pictures of celebrity babies (children or adult children) and give them a list of possible celebrity mamas. See who can guess what celebrity mama matches the picture of their offspring.
 
24. Guess Who? Baby Game: For this game you will need to ask your guests to bring in a baby photo of them to the baby shower. Number the photos and display them on a table or a poster board. Ask your guests to number a piece of paper and write the names of the people who they think are the babies in the photos. If you have some guests that don't really know each other it might be easier if you ask your guests to wear nametags so this game will be a bit easier.
 
25. Hidden Baby Items In A Bag: Place up to 10 common baby items in a diaper bag such as baby powder, pacifier, diaper, etc. Allow each guest to put their hand in the diaper bag and feel around for a minute or two. They need to write down many items they think they feel in the bag. The person with all the items correct wins.
 
26. Memory Game: Place 15-20 items on a tray and pass the tray around so that all the guests get a good look. Then take the tray away and see who can remember the most items on the tray.
 
27. Name The Children From Popular TV Shows: See how many guests can guess the right names of popular TV show kids. For example, name all of the kids on The Brady Bunch.
 
28. Pins in Rice: Hide about 30 safety pins in a bowl or bucket of uncooked rice. Let each guess dig into the bowl with their hand and see how many they can pull out in 1 minute. Be sure to blindfold the guest well so there is no cheating.
 
29. Time Capsule For Baby: Ask your guests to bring items for a time capsule for the baby. This could be a photo, letters to the child, newspaper clippings, etc. Place all the items in a keepsake box to be opened when the child is old enough to read the letters and appreciate the items in the box.
 
30. What's for Dinner: Remove the labels from about 10 jars of baby food. Pass the jars around and see if they can determine what type of baby food is in each jar.
 
31. What's In Your Purse: Each guest will get a predetermined list of items that have a point value. Then they will mark off each item that they have in their purse. The person with the most points wins.
