HOW TO PLAY
1

Prepare a list of classic gender-prediction folklore, like carrying high versus low, or craving sweet versus salty.

2

Read each old wives' tale aloud and ask guests to mark whether they think it points to a boy or a girl based on the parent's pregnancy.

3

Tally how many folklore signs point to each gender before the official reveal.

4

After revealing the actual gender, see how many of the old tales turned out to be right for this pregnancy.

5

Award a lighthearted prize to whichever folklore tally (or guessing guest) came closest to correct.
