The Nursery Rhymes Shower Game
There are lots of nursery rhymes to choose from so arranging this baby shower game is easy. It’s also fun to play, and a little tricky too.
Preparation
Step 1 - Write a list of short excerpts from children's nursery rhymes. Like this:
little star
on the tree top
for baby and me
silver bells and cockle shells
white as snow
lost her sheep
sat on a wall
a pail of water
the mouse ran
the cat and the fiddle
doggy a bone
lost their mittens
Step 2 - Make a note of the nursery rhyme that each excerpt comes from.
Step 3 - Make a copy of the excerpts list for each of your guests.
How to Play
Step 1 - Give a list and a pencil to each of your party guests.
Step 2 - Then ask them to write down which nursery rhyme they think each extract comes from. Like this:
little star - Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
on the tree top - Rock-a-Bye Baby
for baby and me - Pat-a-Cake
silver bells and cockle shells - Mary Mary Quite Contrary
white as snow - Mary Had a Little Lamb
lost her sheep - Little Bo Peep
sat on a wall - Humpty-Dumpty
a pail of water - Jack and Jill
the mouse ran - Hickory Dickory Dock
the cat and the fiddle - Hey Diddle Diddle
doggy a bone - Old Mother Hubbard
lost their mittens - Three Little Kittens
Step 3 - The guest with the most correct answers wins the game, and a small baby shower prize.
