Don't Say Baby is a classic baby shower game that's oh so easy to play. All that's needed are some clothespins and a good set of listening ears. Each guest clips a clothespins to their clothes while talking with other party guests. If you hear someone say "baby", you can snag their clothespin and pin it on yourself. Whoever collects the most clothespins by the end of the shower wins! Make sure to grab the FREE game printable that matches our jungle theme perfectly.
