Angel Baby Shower Games and Activities

Artists have captured angels in song, film, and written verse for centuries. Play a baby shower guessing game with an angel theme while listening to angelic songs.

Angel Charades or Draw It Guess It

Most know the basics of Charades and Draw It Guess It (a.k.a. Pictionary), but here's a brief recap of how both games are played.

How to Play Charades:

1. Divide the party into 2 teams and give each team a name.
2. Determine how many clues or rounds you want to play. 10 clues per team is a good number to start with or write a clue for each player to have a turn.
3. Each team comes up with titles of songs, movies, or other agreed upon categories for the other team to guess.
4. The teams write their titles on slips of paper, fold them up, and put them into a team bowl that is labeled with the team name.
5. Scorekeepers and timers are designated.
6. For each round, a team member gets up in front of their teammates, chooses a clue from the other team's bowl, and silently acts it out within a certain amount of time. (2 minutes is ample for a party so the game doesn't go on forever!)
7. If the team guesses the clue within the amount of time they get a point. If the clue giver talks while acting out, he or she is disqualified and a point goes to the other team.
8. The team with the most points when all rounds are played wins the game!

• Note: There are common gestures for acting out clues like how many words are in the title or what category the clue is, such as "movie." Chances are one guest has played before and can give a brief overview of these gestures for the clue intros to make it easier to guess.

How to Play Draw It Guess It:

• Draw It Guess It is played almost identical to Charades except Step 6 is different.
• For Draw It Guess It, a team member gets up in front of their teammates, chooses a clue from the other team's bowl, and must draw the clue on a large piece of paper within a certain amount of time. (2 minutes is ample for a party so the game doesn't go on forever!)
• The party host should set up a sturdy easel with a very large pad of paper and provide markers for the game playing. You can pick up materials at most office supply or craft stores.
