Baby Shower Games

Anonymous Author (February 2007)
Ok I have been to 2 baby showers in the last 6 months and am about to organise one so I thought I would write up some games that I have done. They were all such fun.

Pair The Socks
Everyone brings a pair of baby socks. Then
they all get seperated and put in a bowl. You get 30 seconds to pair as many as you can. Trust me ITS NOT EASY LOL. This was a hoot and the mummy to be gets a whole heap of baby socks.

Baby FindaWord
Make up a findaword. Guest to finish finding them most in 2 minutes wins.

Dont Say Baby
Everyone gets a paper necklace at the start of the day. And if you catch someone saying baby you take their necklace and any that they have gathered also. At the end of the shower the person with the most wins a little prize.

Baby Bingo
Everyone gets a bingo grid and when they first arrive they write what they think the mummy to be will get in her presents (bib, nappies, rocker, jumpsuit etc) with the one rule that it cant be something you have given. When its present time you cross off things that you have written down when she recieves them and the first person to cross off all the things (usually a grid of 6-8) wins.

Nappy Change
You bring a baby doll and time everyone. The person to get the nappy on the baby doll the fastest wins.

Whats in the Bag?
You have a baby bag that is full of everything you need for a baby. Nappies, wipes, dummies, clothes, bottles etc. Basically fill like your taking a day out with baby. Then pull everything out. Guests have 1 minute to try and remember everything thats there. Then put it all back in the bag and you have 30 seconds to write as much as you can remember. Guest with the most correct wins. The bag goes to the mummy to be.

Find The Bands
Get a jar and fill it with rice. Get a packet of tiny rubber bands (anything like Bracer Bands) and mix them through. Then you have 1 minute to find as many as you can. It's very hard to feel the bands in the rice!

Guess the Tummy
We passed around a roll of string. And everyone had to look at the mummy to be's tummy and guess how big it was with the string. Then chop of a bit. At the end of the day they measured and passed around the right legnth. The person/persons closest was the winner. It was hillarious seeing the small and really big ones LOL

Whats That Smell
Get a bunch of nappies and you melt some chocolate bars. Then smush one in each nappy. Everyone has to guess what it is in the nappy by sight. The guest with the most right wins

Baby Crossword
Make up a cross word with baby things in it and things about the mummy to be! Person who finishes fastest wins.

Re: Baby Shower Games

I would firstly like to say that this site has given me some great idea's for my daughters baby shower.

I'm about to be a first time nana so alittle help was very needed.

I thought of a great game also which I wanted to add to your site. It's called "Guess how many jelly Beans are in the bottle". You buy a baby bottle and fill it with baby jelly beans and make sure you write the answer down somewhere safe. The person that can guess the closest to the answer without going over wins.

Hope this is a help.

Lisa
