Trivia Baseball

While mom probably isn't really in the best shape to play real baseball, why not play trivia baseball.

Set up chairs in the middle of the room as home plate, first base, second base, and third base. Divide everyone up into two teams.

In order to advance from home to a base, the person up to "bat" has to answer a trivia question the right way.

Have questions that are "singles," "doubles," "triples" and "home run" questions. See whose team ends up getting the most home runs.

Sports Scramble

Come up with various terms that have to do with sports. Scramble up those words and put them all on a sheet.

Print out a sheet for everyone. See who can unscramble all the sports related words the fastest.

Sports Themed Prizes and Favors

There are a lot of great prizes and favors you can use to go along with the sports them you're using too.

Consider going with t-shirts that have team logos on them, gift certificates to a sporting goods store, sports themed drink holders, mugs, or other things with team colors or logos.

Tickets to local games can be great favors, or certificates to the driving range, to a paint ball place, or a batting cage will be well accepted too.

Anything sports related is a great choice for both prizes and favors for the sporty shower.
