Mystery
Baby Food
Preparation:
Buy 10 tins or jars of baby food in a variety of
flavours both savoury and sweet.
Cover each jar in white paper and as you do so write
a number onto that jar, and on a corresponding bit
of card, write in big letters what jar No. 1 contains.
Carry on until all 10 jars are numbered, and you
have cards numbered 1 – 10 with the correct
food written on them. You will also need a plastic
baby spoon (or a teaspoon will do), a blindfold
and a bib.
Playing the game:
This is a game for the mum-to-be, but if she feels
really uncomfortable playing this she can nominate
someone else! The idea of the game is simply for
mum-to-be to guess what each of the foods are. (Don’t
forget to consider any allergies or dietary requirements
of the mum-to-be when preparing for this game!)
Place the bib, then the blindfold on the mum-to-be,
then give her the baby spoon. First of all hold
up the first card so that all the guests can see
what the mum-to-be is about to be given. This usually
gets a fun response from everyone! Then take 1⁄2
a spoonful from the first jar and feed it to the
mum-to-be. She must then guess what the jar contains.
This game is only a bit of fun, but a nice idea
is to award the mum-to-be with a pack of nappies
for each one she gets correct.
