If you are the hostess for an upcoming baby shower, here are
some fun and easy baby shower games that you can have your
guests play.
1. Baby Picture Guessing Game: Have all the shower attendees
bring a baby picture. Display them on a large poster and
have the guests match the shower attendees with their baby
picture. Whoever guesses the most correctly wins!
2. Don't Say Baby: With this game, the object is to not say
the word "baby". Upon arriving at the baby shower, each
guest is given a diaper safety pin. Each guest then tries to
catch another guest saying the word "baby". When they do,
they then take the safety pin from the other person. Whoever
collects the safety pins wins!
3. Word Scramble: On a sheet of paper list 10 words having
to do with babies (i.e. pregnancy, blanket, pacifier,
bottle, diaper, etc.). Then, scramble the letters of each
word. Give each guest a copy of the scrambled word list and
a pencil. Set a timer for 2 minutes and see how many each
guest can correctly unscramble!
4. Measure Mom: Using a ball of string, each guest cuts off
a length which they think will accurately measure around the
pregnant mom's belly. After each guest has cut off a length
of string, they take turns putting the string about the
pregnant mommy's belly. Whoever guesses closest wins!
5. Memory Game: On a serving tray lay out 10 to 12 items
having to do with babies such as baby rattles, baby spoon,
bib, diaper, bottle, jar of baby food, etc. Cover the tray
with a towel. Give guests 15 seconds to study the tray and
then cover it back up. Give everyone a sheet of paper and
have them write down as many items as they can remember. The
winner of the game is the one who correctly recalls the most
items.
6. Guess By Touch Game: Take 10 brown paper lunch bags. In
each bag place an item related to babies such as diaper,
toy, bib, bottle, baby Mylicon drops, etc. Number each bag
1-10. To play the game, provide each guest with a sheet of a
paper numbered 1-10. The guest feels the bag and writes down
their guess of what is in the bag. The guest who correctly
guesses the most correct items wins.
7. Baby Bottle Jelly Bean Guess: Take a baby bottle and fill
it with jelly beans. You will have to count how many you put
in. Guests take turns estimating how many jelly beans are in
the bottle. Closest guess wins the bottle of jelly beans.
