You are going to love this baby shower game idea. It does not matter if the guests at the baby shower are even mothers, this game will be a lot fun for everyone.

What you will need: - Toy doll about the size of a newborn baby

- 1 piece of rope or string about 5 feet long (You can get this at any craft or hardware store)

- 1 small clothing basket (You just need a very small one. If you can't find one small enough, try using a fruit basket or something similar.)

- 10 outfits of baby clothing (Use brand new ones and give them to the Mom-to be after the game is done.)

-A pack of clothes pins

-A home telephone that works

-A cellular phone

-An egg timer or kitchen timer

-A gift for the winner

This is how you play: For this baby shower game idea, each guest gets an opportunity to be the multi-tasking mommy. Two of the guests will hold an end of the string to make it stand up like a clothesline. The hostess will then give the multi-tasking mommy the laundry basket, clothes pins and of course the baby doll.

The victim, I mean player, will be handed the cell phone while another guest calls her from the other phone to carry on a conversation.

The caller will try distracting the player with silly questions such as, 'What day did you and your husband meet? or 'What was your first childhood memory?

The player will try and hold the baby and at the same time, speak on the cell phone and hang the baby clothes on the string. She will have to keep it up for three minutes. When the timer goes off, she stops. Someone will write down the number of clothing articles she was able to hang up. If someone drops the baby, they automatically lose.

Each baby shower guest is given a chance to be the multi-tasking mommy, and whoever gets the most pieces of clothing on the clothesline, and does the best job having a conversation and holding the baby wins the prize.

This is one of my favorite baby shower game ideas.
