Baby Shower Games
Baby showers are joyous occasions to celebrate the upcoming arrival of a little one, and games are an essential part of the festivities. They help break the ice, entertain guests, and create lasting memories. Here’s a list of popular and creative baby shower games that are sure to be a hit:
- Guess the Baby Food: Remove labels from baby food jars and have guests taste and guess the flavors. It’s hilarious to watch adults try to identify pureed peas or squash!
- Don’t Say Baby: Give each guest a safety pin when they arrive. If someone catches another person saying the word “baby,” they get to take their pin. The person with the most pins at the end wins.
- Decorate a Onesie: Provide plain white onesies and fabric markers. Guests can unleash their creativity and create unique outfits for the baby.
- Nursery Rhyme Quiz: Create a quiz with lines from popular nursery rhymes left incomplete. Guests must fill in the blanks, testing their childhood memory.
- Diaper Raffle: Ask guests to bring a pack of diapers in exchange for a raffle ticket. Draw winners for prizes, and the parents-to-be get a great start on their diaper supply!
- Baby Item Scavenger Hunt: Create a list of baby-related items guests might have in their purses or pockets. The first to find all items wins.
- Playdough Baby: Provide playdough and have guests sculpt a baby. The mom-to-be judges the best (or funniest) creation.
- Bottle Chugging: Fill baby bottles with a beverage and have adults compete to see who can drink it the fastest through the nipple.
- Baby Bingo: Create bingo cards with gift items instead of numbers. As the mom-to-be opens presents, guests mark off their cards.
- Guess the Baby Stats: Have guests predict the baby’s birth date, weight, length, and time of birth. The closest guesses win prizes after the baby is born.
- Who’s That Baby?: Ask guests to bring their own baby photos. Display them and have everyone guess who’s who.
- Decorate a Diaper: Provide plain diapers and markers. Guests write funny messages or words of encouragement for those late-night changes.
- Baby Food Recipe Creation: Give guests lists of baby food ingredients and have them come up with creative (and silly) product names and descriptions.
- Pregnant Mommy Challenges: Set up stations with tasks like picking up an object from the floor or tying shoelaces while wearing a balloon “baby bump.”
- Baby Necessities Price is Right: Display various baby items and have guests guess the prices. The closest without going over wins.
Remember to keep the games light-hearted and inclusive. Consider the mom-to-be’s preferences and the group dynamics when choosing games. Provide a mix of active and passive games to suit different personalities.
Lastly, don’t forget to have small prizes for the winners. These can be as simple as scented candles, chocolates, or small plants. The goal is to create a fun, memorable experience for everyone involved in welcoming the new addition to the family.
