Baby shower games can be just as much fun for the guests as
the presents for the mom-to-be!
Whether you are the mom-to-be, the host or a guest of a baby
shower you will have a lot of fun with this list of popular baby shower games
to get you started at your own party.
Even if it’s a surprise or the mom-to-be knows, these will surely get
everyone laughing and joking around.
The Dirty Diaper! As each guest arrives they will be given a
diaper. Only one diaper has a smear of brown eye shadow or a brown piece of
paper in it. The guests are not allowed
to look inside their diaper until the end. The one that has the smear wins.
Not Allowed! As each guest arrives pin fives safety pins on
them, explain that using a certain word will not be permitted. When someone
says that word the first person to catch them gets to take one of the safety
pins and pin it on themselves. At the end of the party the guest with the most
pins wins the game.
Words that might not be allowed: If your mom-to-be knows the
sex of the baby you may want to choose girl or boy to be off the list. Baby,
present, kids, crying are other popular words that will be heard at a party.
Name that Nursery Rhyme!
Each guest will need a blank piece of paper and a pen/pencil. The host
will have a list of nursery rhymes that she/he leaves off or the guests must
fill in the blanks, the ones with the most wins. Here is an example:
Jack be nibble, Jack be quick, Jack jumped over what?
What is the title where a boy breaks his crown?
What did Miss Muffet eat?
Baby Hot Potato! You will need a doll for this. The guest of honor will get to start, as the
song ends the person left with the doll is out. The last person left wins the
game.
Baby Word Search!
Before the party the host needs to either print off a word search with
baby words in it or make one him/herself. Hide words like baby, bottle, diaper,
feeding, food, crying, cuddles, and pajamas. Make sure there are enough copies
for all the guests, including the mom-to-be. Give each guess a word search and
the one that finds the most words wins.
Pass The Present!
This game is just like musical chairs only no one gets up. The mom-to-be
will be handed a present that has been wrapped a number of times with different
color wrapping paper. She will pass the present to the next person and so on,
when the music stops the person with the present gets to unwrap one layer. Once
the music begins again she passes it on. The last person to unwrap the actual
gift gets to keep it.
Baby Crossword puzzle! Each guest is given a crossword
puzzle, the one the complete it first wins.
The clues can be either easy or hard; it’s up to the host.
Measuring Mom-to-be! This one is sure to get a lot of
laughs! Pass around a roll of toilet paper and have each guest pull off, as many
sheets as they think would be needed to go around mom-to-be. Watch and see what
others say, some will be really small while others will be large. After
everyone has pulled off their sheets have the host wrap the toilet paper around
the mom-to-be and count the sheets. The one with the exact number or closest
one wins the game.
Memory Tray! Have twenty items laid out on a tray or a dish;
make sure it’s covered with something so no one can see. Pass it around to each guest; they only have
30 seconds to view it. Give them a piece of paper and have them write down
everything in the tray. The one that has the most items on their list wins.
Taste Test! See who can guess the name of the baby
food. Before the party the guest will
buy about 5-10 different baby foods. Making sure the name is not on the jar,
instead tape a number over the bottle instead. Write down the name that goes
with the numbers and keep them in a secret place. Once the party begins hand
each guess a spoon with a piece of paper and pass the baby food around. The one
that guesses all of them correct or the most correct wins the game.
No matter how many baby showers you go to, these games will
never be boring.
