Mommy the Juggler

A Baby Shower Game

By Donna Pilato, About.com

All moms know that when their first baby came out, they were mysteriously endowed with the ability to be a first class juggler. To demonstrate this talent, guests are required to juggle as many activities as possible within a 30- 60 second timeframe (depending on the number of players). The one who can complete the most activities wins.

For example, at a bare minimum, a contestant will need to talk into a balanced phone on her shoulder while holding a baby doll on the same arm. Next, without putting anything down she should open a tall box, remove a pitcher, and pour a glass of water. Her next task will be to tie a shoe while continuing to hold the baby and talk on the phone. Finally, she will need to read and assemble a short recipe (while holding the baby and talking on the phone). It might be as simple as measure 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of sugar and mix together in a bowl.
