There are literally hundreds of different games that you can play at a baby shower, some are fun and some and not. If you are planning a baby shower or even wondering what will be done at your own I have decided to compile a list of some of the baby shower games that you can play.
The Name Game If you are looking for a simple game that everyone can be involved in, the name game is your choice. If the parents know what they are going to name the baby and they are willing to share it with the guests, this fun game can be played at the party. The guests will use each letter of the baby’s name to make new words. Whoever comes up with the best or most unique words is the winner.
Mother’s Weight. Okay, this is a game which is only appropriate for a woman who is comfortable enough to stand in front of a crowd while being ogled by everyone else who is going to guess her weight. The mother has to stand in front of the room and model for the guests. She should also do a few turns and let everyone get a good look at her. Them the guests have to guess how much she weighs. This is certainly not a traditional game, but it can be fun and interesting.
Baby Bottle Bowling. Now this game can be a little rowdy. It is always interesting to find new games to play with baby themed objects. You can fill up baby bottles with something to make them heavier like a liquid such as milk or even something solid like rice baby cereal. Then you give the guests a small ball like a tennis ball or street hockey ball and allow them to try and knock down the pins, two tries just like in real bowling. The best score wins. If there is a tie they can compete again until a winner is found.
Word Scramble. The word scramble is a basic game that can be played at any baby shower. Scramble up numerous baby related words, at least 10, no more than 25, and pass out the sheets to the guests face down. Let them know that they are going to participate in a timed game unscrambling baby words and the winner is the one with the most correct words at the end. Make sure you include some more challenging words to make a game out of it. If you have older guests include some old fashioned words or phrases as well.
Not Allowed Not allowed is a fun game to play at a baby shower. At the beginning of the shower you need to let all the guests know what words, phrases or actions are not allowed. This could be crossing your legs, or swearing or saying a certain name. Then you can pass out a baby related item such as pacifiers to the guests. Let the guests know that they each get one pacifier and if they see another guest doing an action or saying a phrase which is not allowed that they can then steal all of their pacifiers. Near the end of the party you can collect and count the pacifiers. The person with the most wins.
Baby Advice Game This game is a way for the guests to share their insights with the new parents. From the time a woman announces her pregnancy on, everyone, including perfect strangers, wants to help her by giving unsolicited advice. At some point, usually rather soon, a women stops listening. BY having this game people can share advice that the parents will at least consider. You should buy a special book or make shapes like hearts or flowers out of large construction paper. Let the guests each write down whatever they want, advice, stories, etc., for the mother. The parents can read them later when they are willing to listen to what everyone has to say.
The above games are literally just the tip of the iceberg; there are so many different games that can be played at a baby shower. Baby showers can be fun but thy can also be hectic. Before making a decision on which games to play it is a good idea to ask the mother to be how she feels about each game.
