Animal Match Icebreaker
For this game, you'll need pairs of baby animal pictures to represent the pairs of animals on Noah's ark. As guests arrive, each person selects a picture of an animal. They find the person with the matching baby animal picture and introduce themselves. You can either provide them with an interview sheet or let them talk about themselves without prompts. After five minutes, let the guests introduce their partners, sharing some fun information about her. This helps the guests learn a little bit about each other before the rest of the party games start.
Baby Animal Name Match
This game allows for a few modifications to fit your preferences. You'll need a list of animals and the name for their babies. For example, lion/cub, elephant/calf and goat/kid. The object of the game is to match the animal's name with its baby's name. You can provide the guests with both lists in different orders and have them draw lines to match the answers. Another option is to provide either the list of adult animal names or the list of baby animal names and have the players write in the corresponding names.
Animal Charades
The popular party game fits the Noah's ark shower theme when all of the words are animal names. You can prepare the words ahead of time or let guests pick their own animals to act out during the game of charades. It might sound simple but many animals will prove difficult to act out without making the corresponding animal sounds.
Baby Animal Trivia
A set of trivia questions about baby animals creates the basis of a fun baby shower competition. Dividing the guests into two teams creates a competitive tone to the game. You can also ask the trivia questions to the group in general for a less competitive experience. Questions might address gestational periods for different animals, the length of time the baby stays with its mom or the features of different newborn babies.
Alphabet Animal Pairs
This baby shower game reflects the pairs of animals that Noah gathered for the ark. Unlike Noah, the guests need to think of two different animals for each letter of the alphabet. For example, the animals for the letter B might include a baboon and a bear. Making a sheet with each letter of the alphabet followed by two blanks helps the players keep track of their progress. Give them a set amount of time to think of their two animals for each letter. The person with the most pairs is the winner.
