Baby showers are a lovely time to gather friends and family of the mommy-to-be for some fun games, prizes and an overall good time to get ready to welcome the new baby to the world. You can get really creative with the type of games your guests can play, here a few to get your thoughts going:
-
- How to play: Give each of your guests 1 game peice, for example a sticker, baby pin, or necklace as they walk in the room, tell them they can’t say certain words, like “baby,” “shower,” “mom,” “dad,” and any other words that you choose! If any guest hears another guests at the party say any of those words, they can steal their game peice. The person with the most of these items at the end of the baby shower gets a prize!
-”Don’t cross your legs ladies!”
- You can do the same as above, except this time anytime you see another guest crossing her legs you get to steal their game peice. Again, the person with the most game peices at the end of the day gets a prize. Warning-these games tend to get pretty competitive!
“- This one is easy to play and create. Print 5 equal sized squares vertically and diagonally to equal 25 squares, mark the middle-most square “Baby Shower Bingo or free space, now start typing in the other words in random order for each bingo card. For example you can use words like, “mommy,” “daddy,” “baby boy” “baby girl,” “diaper, “stork,” etc. you can print this on pretty printed or colored paper and give each of your guests baby pink or blue markers and you have yourself baby bingo!
-”How Big is Mommy’s Belly?”
- How to play: Have the mommy-to-be leave the room. Give each table a roll or two of toilet paper, each guest will have to estimate how big the mommy’s belly is and cut the amount they think will be the exact circumference around her waist and belly. Once the mom comes back in the room each person takes a turn to measure her belly with their peice of toilet paper. The person with the perfect match or almost perfect wins a prize!
- This works if you already know the gender of the baby. In this game you will stick a sticker of a baby boy or baby girl under each chair– there should only be one or two stickers of the right gender. For example if the baby will be a girl put a sticker of a baby boy under all the seats except for 1 or however many winners you’re hoping for. At some point during the shower asks the guests to see if there’s a baby “stuck” under their seat! Everyone will find one of course, but the winners will be only those that get the baby girl. *Note, if you don’t know the gender you can certainly do something else, be as creative as you like, it’s easy!
-”Name the Cost of the Baby Gift basket”
-Fill a basket with baby gift items and necessecities, like baby shampoo, wipes, diapers, a onesie, bibs, etc. Now have your guests guess how much the basket is worth. The person with the closest guess wins the basket or another prize.
-”Tie breaker-Baby Diaper contest”-
This can be an addition to any of the games listed above, you can do this either to break a tie, or just to spice it up take the top 3 people with closest guesses for example and give them each a fully-clothed baby doll and a diaper, each guest will have to change the baby completly, including it’s diaper. The mom-to-be will judge who finished the fastest and did the job right!
