I must say I love the clothes pins game (no crossing allowed) and I usually WIN!!!!!
Were I come from the cotton ball game is played by taking a bag of cotton balls, placing them on sheet and spreading them out. Then each player is blindfolded and they have about 35-45 seconds to spoon up as many cottonballs into a bowl as they can. It is really fun because we usually hide them once the person is blindfolded or put them all on one side and cheer the person on like they have a whole lot of them in their bowl, when they really have about 2 or 3.
Some other fun games are:
Rice and Safety Pins:
Get the handy-dandy sheet and blindfold again.....A bowl, put white rice and those very small safety pins. When they are together, you can not tell them apart.
Measure the BELLY:
Each guest takes off how many squares they think will fit around the mothers' belly. Closest wins!! I have seen some mothers-to-be cry from the embarrassment!
WordSCRAMBLE:
BE creative and have the mother come up with some words for the guess to unscramble.
ICE Breaker:
Sometimes, most guests do not know everyone name in the room. So nametags are made up from cartoon characters and each guest wears them. Each guest can only call the other person by the designated name they are wearing. When someone is caught calling the person by their real name then they (or who ever beats them to it) can take their Safety pin (We usually use the cute baby ones). The person with the most wins.
The Purse Game:
Ladies, we usually carry the world in our purses no matter what he size is!!!
This is a really fun game. Come up with some things that on the norm one may not think to carry and modernize it. The last time I played it some of the things on the list was:
Doc's Appt. Card, Pager, Cell,Mints,Needle and Thread, Lipstick, Compact,Gum,Mints,D. L.,Groc. Store Club card, Visa, ETc.
That's all I can think of for right now. i'll call my mom and ask her!
