Heads Up Baby Pack
Introduction
You know the game Heads Up you hold a card or word up, everyone else gives clues, and you try to guess what it is. The Baby Pack version is just that, but all the words are about babies, pregnancy, or parent life.
It’s perfect for baby showers because it gets people talking, laughing, and sometimes blurting out things they probably shouldn’t (in a good way). Whether someone’s well versed in baby talk or totally clueless, everybody can play. You don’t need to prepare much just pick your words, get people ready, and let the hilarity begin.
What You’ll Need
- Heads Up app (with custom word pack, or just use blank cards) or index cards with baby‑related words written on them
- A device (phone/tablet) or stack of cards to hold against your forehead
- Timer (many apps have one built in) or a phone watch
- A group of people ready to shout clues (be nice, no cheating words!)
- Optional: a small prize for whoever wins the most rounds
How to Play
- Decide whether you’ll use a phone/tablet app or printed cards. If using cards, write baby words like 'burp cloth,' 'swaddle,' 'teething,' 'midnight feed,' 'diaper rash,' etc.
- Pick the first player. They hold the device or card up to their forehead so they can’t see it, but everyone else can.
- Start the timer. The clue-givers shout hints one word or short phrases (not the actual word) to help the player guess the baby term on their head.
- If they guess right, shout ‘Pass!’ and the player moves on to the next word. If time runs out, move to the next person.
- Keep going until everyone’s had a couple of turns. The person who guesses the most words correctly wins or just wins bragging rights.
Fun Variations
Make themed rounds only bedtime words, only baby gear, or only funny phrases.
Play with teams. One gives clues, one guesses, then switch.
No verbal clues allowed act it out or use gestures only (charades style).
Use more challenging words for bonus rounds like medical baby terms or less common phrases.
Let the parents‑to‑be be the final “clue givers” in one round bonus points if they stump someone.
Why Guests Love It
- It’s high energy without being too crazy people can jump in easily.
- You get to hear people shout the weirdest clues (and wrong guesses) always fun.
- It doesn’t feel baby‑obsessed in a heavy way just playful and light.
- Even people who say “I don’t like games” end up smiling and wanting another round.
Conclusion
