A good way to involve the men is to make them leaders of the group (men like to lead).

Have a list of some baby items names scrambled and have the groups unscramble them

- Animal gestation period
- Baby items charades
In the groups, have a list of baby items that the groups try and guess as one of he members tries to demonstrate without using words. You can make it more interesting by having them demonstrate a phrase instead of a word.
