Am I Pregnant?

Preparation: You will need tongue depressors, paint and balloons. Paint the tongue depressors to look like pregnancy tests. Mark all of them negative and have one positive. (If you wish to have more than one winner, you can mark more than one positive.) Begin blowing the balloons up and place one "test" inside of each balloon. Spread all balloons in the middle of the floor. (Or scattered all around the room.)
Play: Tell everyone participating that someone amongst us is pregnant, other than the mommy-to-be of course! Explain that they must pop the balloons to retrieve the "pregnancy test" to see if they are "pregnant" or not. Guests then race to pop as many balloons as they can collecting the "tests" trying to find the positive one. The winner is the person who finds a positive "test."
I tried this at my baby shower (yes, I non-traditionally planned & hosted my own shower) and my guests loved it! It was fun watching everyone scrambling on the floor trying to pop the balloons and find the positive "test!"
