A couple of years ago, I attended a baby shower of a high school friend. We did all the usual things you do at baby showers: ate, open presents, talked and oohed over ultrasound pictures.
When we got to the games, I had played most of them before. That is, until we played the Candy Bar Game. It was the most exciting, hilarious, creative game I had ever played. I thought I would share with my readers so if any of you are planning a shower or having one of your own, think about adding this one to the list.
Preparation:
Print the list of candy bars/clues below and take it to the store with you. After all the candy is bought (just in case you can't find some of them!), take a poster board and write the clues on it. You can make it better by covering the clues with numbers so no one can read them before hand. Put all the candy in a box with the number it goes with, that way it will be easier to find them.
Playing the game:
Guests are read a pregnancy related clue and have to guess what candy they feel best describes it. You can either have people raise their hands/shout out clues or go one by room across the room. When they get a clue right, they are given the corresponding candy bar. And, if they are wrong, they are given a dum-dum sucker (just for fun). If they are having a hard time guessing, you can give them hints. You will find that people really enjoy playing this and everyone seems to get involved. It is perfect for all ages.
Prizes:
The guest who guesses the correct answer gets the matching candy bar
