This nursery rhyme baby shower game is a fill-in-the-blank game that is easy for guests to play. As you can see there are lines from famous baby songs and nursery rhymes with a word or two missing. Guests must fill in the missing words within a set time limit. When time is up call out the answers - each correctly answered blank counts for one point (if there are two blanks in a single line, each counts for one point). The person with the highest score wins!
