Guess the Baby Game

Ask each guest to bring a picture of themselves as a baby. Take the picture from each guest as they arrive and lightly pencil a number on the back, being careful not to damage the photo. Be sure you make a list so you can tell later which photograph corresponds with each guest. When it’s time to play, give each guest a piece of paper and pencil, show all the guests a photograph and tell them the number, then ask them to write down whose photograph they think it is. Do the same with each picture. You may want to pass the photographs around so everyone is able to see the photograph clearly. The guest who identifies the most photographs is the winner.
