Finding baby shower games that are good ice breakers, entertaining, and ultimately fun can be a challenge, but need not be. Some people get bogged down in thinking they need to satisfy all those criteria, but the reality is that people should focus on one simple fact. Your friend or family member will soon be experiencing one of the greatest miracles of all, having a baby! So, try not to stress too much over planning the baby shower games. Just be happy for the mom to be and have fun! Here are some suggestions which are sure to please:
TV Babies
Here's a fun game that is sure to relate to all ages at the baby shower. Essentially, people have to guess the names of the kids on TV shows. Here's how you can put this together. Prior to the party go through the TV guide to find 10 TV sitcoms where the main characters have children. Make one list on a piece of paper and write down the name of the show and the children's names. This will be your answer key. On another piece of paper, write the 10 TV shows you found and blank spaces for each child in that family. Make copies of this list, hand them out to everyone at the baby shower and the person who has the most correct answers wins a prize.
The Price Is Right - Baby Style
This game involves buying some small baby items and writing down the item and amount on a piece of paper. On a separate piece of paper, write down the item and include space for the amount but leave it blank. You then make copies of this list and hand it out to the guests. The guests have to guess the cost, write it down, and total all the items. The person who gets the closest figure to your actual cost, wins a prize.
These games are only a couple of the many different types of games you could play during the baby shower celebrations. Remember, when planning baby shower games, try to encourage everyone to get involved, but let's not forget, the mom-to-be gets the spotlight.
