One of the best parts of any baby shower is playing fun party games! We wanted to create a fun and unique game for guests at our Lil Boo Halloween Baby Shower to guess what the mom-to-be might be expecting, a boo-y or a ghoul! This free printable game can be assembled in minutes and guests will love weighing in on what gender the new little bundle of joy might be!
