Test Their Zombie Knowledge with this Printable Zombie Party Game

Between the Walking Dead, Zombie Runs and growing interest in Zombie everything, it's no surprise that Zombie Trivia would become a popular idea for Halloween parties in the office and among friends.

If you are a huge fan of The Walking Dead you can create a Zombie Trivia just from the show, however if you have friends who think the Walking Dead might be a band then creating a Walking Dead trivia game might leave them feeling a bit, left out in the cold.

Well good news there is no reason to lose and arm or leg thinking up Zombie Trivia, in fact the easiest way to get this work done is to use your computer, iPad or smartphone and printer and have all the work done for. Yes, it will cost a few bucks but unless you have lots of free time to do the work it is worth it.



This Zombie Trivia Game challenges the living to answer questions about the living dead movies! Now you tell your Zombie infected friends to show there true colors and find out whether they will survive the Zombie Apocalypse as a Zombie Hunter or be a feast for the zombies.

Clean Bachelorette Party? This Game is a Little Messy, But Entertaining Too!

So you want a fun Bachelorette party but also want it to be clean?

Well how can you live on the edge and still make the bride blush, consider playing Decorate the Private Parts  game.

This game is relatively safe but does have a dark side twist and it works well for Bachelorette parties held at someones home.

All you need to have guests do is decorate a cake.
That's it. Easy, fun and a little messy!


Cupcake MoldsHowever, it's not your ordinary cake, it's a cake of a man's private parts. The best part about this is that you real can have your cake and eat it too.

One great thing about this Bachelorette party game is that you can adapt it to make these little or big guys, happy little guys or dirty devils. I think it would be fun to have a Silly Willy decorating contest where the Silliest Willy wins, but you can choose your own theme.

One fun idea for bachelorette's that are nervous about her Bachelorette Party being to dirty, is to try to keep this bachelorette party activity a secret and joke around with her that something big is in store for her.


Penis Cake PanThen just when she think's she is going to be exposed to something she doesn't want to see and she turns her head to look away, turn on some stripper dance music like Janet Jackson's Nasty Boys and say "Bring Out the Penises for the Bachelorette to Judge!" Most likely she'll be mortified and turn bright red, but when she sees that these are cakes or cupcakes, hopefully her fear will turn to laughter.

Once she sees these decorated private parts she can then pick out her favorite and the person who decorated that cake wins a prize.

Note you can have individuals decorate cupcakes or groups of two or three work on a big cake, either way this Bachelorette game is sure to be very entertaining for everyone involved.

Use Baby Name News to Create Your Baby Shower Name Game!

Everyday I see party game and shower game opportunities.

And if you are in the need for a Baby Shower game here is how to use a news article to create your own Baby Shower Name Game.

This article was on Yahoo on 9/11/12
Most Popular Baby Names, 2011 vs. 1911: William stands the test of time.

No overall this doesn't seem like the best resource for a Baby Shower Game, since it points out that William is the only name to stand the test of time. However, by checking out the details there are a few great ideas for creating your own Baby Name Game.

1. Now and Then Baby Name Game
You'll need to create 2 documents:
a. Baby Names 1911
b. Baby Names 2012
Create a Grid that allows you to type, The Year, Male Name, Female Name and List numbers on the side 1 - 20.

To Play Hand out the 2012 Sheet and a pen to each player and ask them to fill in what they believe the Top 20 Baby Names are for 2012. (With correct spelling) Give guests 5 minutes to complete this.

Then surprise then buy giving them the second sheet, Top Baby Names of 1911 and repeat the process. Once an additional 5 minutes is up, then go over the names and score 1 point for each correct name. Most points wins.

2. Create Your Own Trivia Game using the Data from Baby Name news article and other resources.
The news article gives you a few questions that would work best as multiple choice questions.

Examples:
1. What Boys Name was a Top 20 name in 2011 and 1911?
Micheal, Paul, Joseph, John, James
In this case the answer is James. #3 in 1911 and #17 in 2011

2. In 1911 and 2011 four of the Top 20 Baby Girl's Names started with an "E." Which name starting with an "E" made both lists? Evelyn, Elizabeth, Ella, Emily, Emma
The answer is Elizabeth.
Interesting fact: Emma was a Top 10 Baby name in the 1880's & 1890's and didn't return to popularity until the 1990's and finally cracked the Top 10 again in the 2000's.

Fun Facts: Evelyn, Lillian and Anna are all rising baby girl names and could be in the Top 20 again within two - three years. While names like Mildred, Ethel, Gladys, Louise and Edna don't even make the Top 500 baby names of 2011.

The only problem with trying to pull all your trivia from 100 years apart, is that it is hard to come up with a lot of questions. So consider weaving in additional questions from our Top Baby Names by decade list. Here we have some sample questions and top baby names by decade. View Baby Names Quiz

3. If you don't have the time to create your own Baby Name Game - We've Got Options
Printable Baby Games are fun, fast and come right from your printer, plus you don't have to research any facts or work with any graphics to make it look good. Plus many of the games can be personalized too!

a. It's also a Baby's Name
See who can best answer the clues to Name these Names


b. Baby Name Scramble - Fun and Creative


c. Baby Names A to Z Game - A Fun Challenge

10 Worst Baby / Toddler Halloween Costumes of 2012

Halloween is fun and silly when you are just 1, 2, or 3 years old. You aren't old enough to understand what is really popular in society, so adults tend to select their toddler's costumes.

While many like Lady Bugs, Cute Kitties, Colorful Monsters and pint sized Supper Heroes others are hideous and terrible toddler costumes. While researching this year's Halloween costumes, we came across costumes we thought were bad for various reasons. So in order to share these examples I cam up with the:

10 Worst Baby / Toddler Costumes of 2012

UPS Guy - Child Labor Laws?

First I want to say that this costume is cute, but unlike a Policeman or Fireman costume that kids look up to, this is not an aspirational costume for a toddler. And it gets creppy if the Mom buys that costume because she has a crush on the UPS guy.

French Fries - You Are What You Eat!

Hmmm, nothing says I Love You like dressing your toddler up as French Fries from a Fast Food Restuarant. I would be concerned that any child caght in this costume may one day be super sized by their French Fry addiction.

Dora the Explorer - You Already Own This Costume

We love Dora the Explorer, it's a fun show and everyday is a new adventure. However this costume makes are Worst List because most little girls already have a pink shirt and orange short in the closet! If you don't and your child wants to be Dora, head out to the mall and visit the children's clearance section for the clothes and then just add a backpack.

Flintstones Pebbles Costume - Saggy Costume Award

This costume makes the Worst List because of fit. Not only does this costume look bad, but you have to question why not just wear leggings rather than having a full body costume? Plus it look like a costume that kids could trip over themselves while wearing.

Red Dragon - Fresh from Battle

We love dragons, kids love dragons but when your dragon looks like it made a pit stop to the slaughter house, we aren't fan. Some of the elements of this dragon is fun but the red splatters, signals the animal is hurt or just ate something and for a toddler on Halloween it falls short of our expectations.

KISS Tiny Tikes Demon - How Old Are They?

Hmm, I want to dress my child up as a KISS Demon because a. He wants to spit blood, b. KISS is he favorite band and he knows all the songs c. I love the 70's and what I say goes. If teens and adults want to dress up as KISS because they love the band great, have fun. However SEX, DRUGS and ROCK & ROLL don't make any sense for kids that cannot even read or write and therefore it makes our Worst Costumes for Toddlers List.

Star Wars Chewbacca - Doesn't Look Like The Real Thing

We love Star Wars and we love Chewbacca, however this "Official" makes our Worst list because this costumes look more like an space poodle than Chewbacca. Maybe they should just offer Ewoks in these sizes.

Where Wild Things Are Costume - Your What?

Are you a Baby Seal, King of the Polar Bears, Abominable Snowman, a Bumble from the Rudolph Cartoon? Oh, it's from Where the Wild Things Are, hmm... well you look cute. The costume just lacks the details to be a good costume. Plus who wants a costume where you can't grab any candy with those giant paws.

Bacon Bunting - Yummy Lard & Fat 

First Lady Gaga had a meat dress now your child can be wrapped in bacon. Who wants to look back 10 years from now and think "Why the heck did I dress my kid in a bacon costume." So, unless you are a pig farmer or cattle rancher avoid this costume.

Woopie Cushion Bunting - I Know I Smell But...

We all know babies smell bad at times, but what type of first memory is it to be a human woopie cushion. In a household of pranksters, this might be fitting but in our opinion it just stinks!

I hoped you enjoyed our list of the 10 Worst Baby / Toddler Costumes for 2012. From now on we hope to only feature costumes we love or love to hate.
