Charades is a popular party game where guests act out well-known phrases, movie, television or song titles, or famous quotes without speaking. It can be played to pass time at a baby shower while the mother-to-be opens her presents, for example. When choosing baby-related charades, select phrases that are not too obscure to ensure that it can be acted out easily and that the other guests can guess it. Mix and match ideas from several different genres to make the game fun.
