Babies are a wonderful blessing to parents, and waiting 9 whole months just to see your awaited little one is probably the best thing a parent could ever wish for. Holding your baby for the very first time seems so unreal.
Parents wait for 9 whole months to see their baby, and to you, 9 months may look a lot, and indeed they are, but for some animals, their time of pregnancy lasts in varying times. For example, in elephants, the momma elephant stays pregnant for 21 months. Now, 9 months won’t seem that long to you, right? Another example is of Frilled Sharks, which are a type of prehistoric-looking shark and their gestation period lasts around 3 years! Possums have a gestation period of only 14 days!

Animal Gestation Period Game
There are such amazing things about animals that we know little of. Their gestation periods, for instance, are so long, and due to this unique fact, this has been made a great guessing game that parents play in baby showers.
This animal pregnancy guessing game is rare among baby shower games like bingo, scramble, etc. This is what makes it so special. If you or any of your guests have already played it at another baby shower, there’s probably an unlikely chance that you’ll possibly remember any of the gestation periods, and that is what makes the game a little more challenging than the rest.
What to Prepare
The game only requires a set of printed animal gestation guessing game cards. On one side, there will be a set of animal names, and on the other side, there will be periods. Just prepare which animals you would want to be included in the list.
Remember to put all the interesting animals such as the frilled shark, possums, and elephants. Animals like these have such unique gestation periods that will not only keep your guests guessing but also when the answers are revealed, they will also be amazed. If your group of guests is big enough, they can make a group of two or three to have more help with the guesses.
How to Play
In the printed templates for the game, there are animal names on one side and gestation periods on the other side. It is a guessing game, and to win, the guest will have to match the animal to the gestation period they think is right.
