Name That Baby Tune
Introduction
You know the games are half the fun. Sure, the cake and tiny onesies are adorable but it’s the laughter during baby bingo or the chaos of a diaper raffle that really gets people talking. And if you’re ready to switch things up with something a little more musical, “Name That Baby Tune” is a total crowd-pleaser. It’s simple, super fun, and guaranteed to get guests smiling (and probably singing their hearts out). Whether your group’s full of karaoke pros or shy singers, this game hits the perfect note.
What You’ll Need
- A playlist of 10-15 songs with “baby” in the title or lyrics
- A speaker or Bluetooth device
- Paper and pens (or printed guessing sheets)
- A timer or stopwatch (your phone works fine!)
- Prizes for the winners
- Where to Shop: Target or Walmart for pens, prizes, décor; Dollar Tree for budget-friendly supplies; Amazon for printable cards and décor; Spotify / Apple Music for ready-made baby-themed playlists
How to Play
- Build Your Playlist: Grab 10-15 songs that have the word “baby” in them. Mix it up a little throw in an old classic like “Be My Baby” and something modern (yes, “Baby Shark” totally counts).
- Explain What’s Happening: Pass out some pens and paper. Play a short clip around 10 to 15 seconds and have guests jot down the song title or the artist.
- Keep It Lively: Go one song at a time and keep the room buzzing. Use a timer if needed, but don’t worry if people start singing or laughing mid-round.
- Reveal the Winner: Once all songs have played, go through the answers together and tally up the scores to hand a prize to the top music whiz.
Fun Variations
Sing-Along Challenge: Mix it up a little when the song cuts off, have guests sing or hum the next line. Bonus points for enthusiasm, not pitch! Bonus points for dance moves and confidence!
Virtual Edition: Hosting online? Share your screen on Zoom, play clips from your playlist, and let guests type guesses in the chat or submit via Google Form.
Team Showdown: Split everyone into “Team Mom” vs. “Team Dad.” Let teams buzz in (or just shout out) answers. Keep score, cheer loudly, and crown your musical champions.
Family-Friendly Remix: If kids are around, mix in songs like “Rock-a-Bye Baby” or “Baby Shark.” It’s adorable chaos and kids love it.
