Are you or someone you know a hostess for a baby shower? If you are a hostess, then it is likely you are looking for some fun baby shower games. Here’s a tip that you need to keep in mind when looking for baby shower games. Pick a game that matches the baby shower theme. One game that is sure to be a hit is, “Guess the Goo”. This game is sure to turn heads and be very memorable.

How To Prepare for “Guess the Goo”

- You’ll need to purchase six kinds of baby food and four kinds of baby juice. It doesn’t matter on quality. Go with the kinds that fit within your budget. Make sure you pick out all kinds of baby food that sound appealing and gross such as apples, bananas, peaches, etc. You can also go with Step 2 or 3 foods that may be a mixture of different foods. This will keep your guest guessing.
- Get some tape or stickers. While tape works, stickers are far more appealing.
- Utility knife (You’ll use it to cut off labels.)
- Magic marker

How To Prepare The Game For the Baby Shower

- Using the magic marker, label the stickers 1-10 and put each one on the baby food jar lids.
- Carefully remove the jar labels and place the same number on the lid on the label.
- Place labels inside an envelope so no one else can see.

How To Play “Guess the Goo”

- Give your shower guests a pen and paper to write down what baby food or juice they believe are in the containers.
- Make sure you give them plenty of time but not too much to figure out what which baby food or juice a jar is. Guests can also smell the jars to give them a hint. Don’t give them too much time because it can lead boredom quickly.
- After everyone has written down what they believe, reveal the answers.
- The guest who had the most correct wins the “Guess the Goo” game. Give this person an inexpensive prize.

Be sure that guests explain how they came up with their answers after the party is over. You may be surprised to learn how some of them were able to figure it out.

Once the game is over, reapply the labels to the jars and hand them to the mom-to-be.

If you want to trick your guests, have one container that is not of the baby food variety.

“Guess the Goo” Game Variations

Variation One – You can call out a product of one of the jars and ask guests to point to which one they believe is the product you spoke out.

Variations Two – You can also have them taste the baby product. Provide them each with spoons and ask them to taste what they believe the product is and have them write their answers down. Then reveal the answers later. Keep your camera handy if you decide to play this variation of the “Guess the Goo” game. You’ll be laughing for years to come.

You can change all kinds of things with “Guess the Goo”. The ultimate reason behind this game is to have a good time with baby food.
