A brilliantly simple game that will entertain everyone and make your guests talk between themselves more easily during all the party.
What you’ll need for “Don’t Say Baby”
- A set of pin / brooches, ideally one per guest;
- Amazon is usually a great source for these pins; I particularly love this unicorn-themed set.

- A print outlining the rules easily visible somewhere (see rules below).
How to play “Don’t Say Baby”
- Give each guest a single pin at the beginning of the party;
- Anytime someone says the word “baby”, one of their pins is stolen;
- At the end of the party, the guest with more pins is the winner.
Fun twists
- When someone says the keyword, all of their pins are stolen (not a single one).
- If most of your guests share a common interest (let’s say, cycling), you can have a second keyword (for example: bike) to make things more dynamic.
- Make it Mario Kart style: everyone receives three pins at the beginning instead of one.
- Make it UNO style: give someone a reverse card so they can purposely say the keyword at some point, giving them the right to steal the pins of whoever caught them saying the word instead.
- Have a wooden spoon award: guests receive silly (funny!) replacement pins for each pin stolen from them, so the guest with more silly pins receives the wooden spoon. (these pins cannot be stolen)
