at a Baby Shower

This is one of the most HILARIOUS games to play at a Baby Shower! This is a SESAME STREET baby shower game that everyone will enjoy! Click here for more games to play at a baby shower .

Preparation for this Baby Shower Game:
Print several copies of the lyrics below.

How to Play the Baby Shower Game:
- First, divide the guests into groups of 4 to 5; you will want about 3 but no more than 4 groups over all. But the expectant mother will not be part of the group, she will be the judge.

- There are 4 different song lyrics below; each one is directly from SESAME STREET. Give one set to each group. You may want to make several copies of each lyric so the entire group doesn't have to share 1 sheet of paper.

- Now, explain to all the groups that they are to go to a corner or another room and practice their song for 5 minutes. They can make up any tune they want to. Suggest that they choose a tune that everyone knows to a popular or well-known song (possibly I'm a Little Teapot, Eensie Weensie Spider, This Old Man, Old MacDonald, London Bridges, Ring Around the Rosies, Pop Goes the Weasel, etc)

- They will sing the lyrics to their song using the tune they choose. They can improvise, be funny, dress up, whatever! These are absolutely a riot and you will definitely want to get them on video! The Mommy-to-be is the judge on the best song. You could have prizes for the best song, the most outrageous, the funniest, and the most likely to be on the Top 40.

Here are the lyrics to 4 Sesame Street songs

Each of these songs is directly quoted from various episodes of SESAME STREET

SESAME STREET song:
"You're My Baby"

You've got baby eyes and baby toes
A baby face and a baby nose
Ooo woo woo woo woo,
you're my baby, my beautiful baby

You've got baby ears and a baby chin
Baby size are the clothes you're in
Ooo woo woo woo woo,
you're my baby, my beautiful baby

You've got baby smiles
You've got baby wiles
You always wear those pretty baby styles
You're my B - A - B - Y

You've got a baby mouth and baby cheeks
And when you talk you talk baby speech
Ooo woo woo woo woo,
you're my baby, my beautiful baby

(whistling interlude)

You wear baby hats and baby shoes
You're pretty as a picture in The Baby News
You're my B - A - B - Y
My beautiful baby, my beautiful baby

SESAME STREET song
"I'm A Baby"

I do a lot of sleeping
I spend my days in bed
They pick me up to burp me
And when I'm being fed

I'm a baby!
Ga-ga-goo-goo-bop-bop-bop
Baby!
Ga-ga-goo-goo-bop-bop-bop
Rock me!

I love my baby blanket
I love my teething ring
I love when Momma rocks me
The lullaby she sings

I'm a baby!
Ga-ga-goo-goo-bop-bop-bop
Baby!
Ga-ga-goo-goo-bop-bop-bop
Rock me!

Yes! I can say goo-goo
Yes! I can say wah-wah
Yes! I can ma-ma
Yes! I can say dah-dah
I can sit up and turn around
I make the lovliest gurgling sound

Right now I'm very little
But wait a year or two
Cuz babies grow up quickly
Soon I'll be just like you
Until then...

I'm a baby!
Ga-ga-goo-goo-bop-bop-bop
Baby!
Ga-ga-goo-goo-bop-bop-bop
Rock me!

I'm a baby!
Ga-ga-goo-goo-bop-bop-bop
Baby!
Ga-ga-goo-goo-bop-bop-bop
Rock me!

"I Am Chicken"
SESAME STREET version of Helen Reddy's "I Am Woman"

I am chicken, hear me squawk
Hear me crow and hear me bawck
Watch me rule my roost
And strut around my coop
People say I've got great legs
And they're nuts about my eggs
And when they're sick they gobble down my soup

Oh yes, I am proud
Of the way I peck and scratch
I am plump, I am loud
Just don't count me 'till I hatch
I'm nutritious, I am pure, I'm delicious, I'm cocksure
I am tender, I'm exceptional
I am chicken!

I am chicken I'm not scared
'Cause I'm always well prepared
And I feed all kinds of people every day
I can cackle with the best
And I'll tackle any test
Showing even when I'm down, I'm still Grade A

Oh no, I'm no dumb cluck
And I won't throw in the towel
I'm no turkey, I'm no duck
I'm the fairest of the fowl
I am tasteful to the end
I'm your finest feathered friend
I am plucky, I'm unflappable, I am chicken!

background singing chickens:
She is tender, she is loud
She is plucky, she is proud
She's delicious, she is pure
She's nutritious, she's cocksure
She can cook and she is chic
And we love her wings and beak
(repeat)
