Predict the firsts: a baby game that keeps going after the birth
July 9, 2026 · 4 min read
Most baby games have one big finish: the reveal. The baby arrives, the closest guess wins, and that is that. It is a lovely moment, but it is also over quickly. Milestone predictions are a way to keep the family playing long after the confetti settles.
What is a milestone prediction
Instead of guessing only the birth, everyone predicts the firsts that come after it. When will the first tooth appear? What will the first word be? How old will the baby be at those first wobbly steps? Each guess is locked in early and scored when it actually happens.
The firsts worth guessing
Keep the list short and joyful. A handful works best: first tooth, first word, sleeping through the night, first steps, and height at the first birthday. Enough to be fun, not so many that it becomes homework.
Score them as life unfolds
This is what makes it special. The game does not resolve in a single day. Over the first year, one milestone after another arrives, and each time you get a fresh round of winners and a fresh reason for everyone to check back in.
Why it keeps family close
A new baby can quietly pull the wider family out of the loop once the initial excitement fades. Milestone predictions give everyone a standing reason to stay involved. That tooth coming through is suddenly news the whole group is waiting on.
How to run it without the admin
Tracking dates and tallying guesses across a year would be a nightmare by hand. bebe keeps every prediction in one place and scores them as each milestone happens, so the game quietly runs itself while your family enjoys the firsts together.
