Baby shower game suggestions
Are you wondering what games would be appropriate for your baby shower? Here are a few winning suggestions..
Baby Shower Games
Baby showers are a fun time for all. They are a time for
family and friends to celebrate and honor the mother-to-be.
Typically, the guests at a baby shower are a variety of close
friends, acquaintances, and the families of both the mother
and father, and it's unlikely that everyone knows each other.
So a fun way to break the ice and get acquainted is to play a
few games.
The games are short and fun to play. Everyone has a good time
and gets to know each other a little. The winner of each game
wins a prize. You can decide whatever type of prize you want
to give out depending on what you think your guests would enjoy.
You could give out candy, a small gift basket, candles, or even
a bottle of wine.
Don't know any fun games to play at a baby shower? Here are a few
suggestions.
Measuring Mommy. This is a fun game in which all the guests have
guess how big mommy's belly has gotten. Bring a long roll of
string (toilet tissue works in a pinch too). Each guest estimates
the size of the mother's belly and cuts a length of string based
on their guess. After everyone has had a chance to guess, take
turns wrapping the string around the mother's stomach. Whoever
guessed the closest wins the prize!
Sing It, Baby. Have all the guests sit or stand in a big circle.
Starting with the mom-to-be, each guest must sing a line or two
from a song that has the word "baby" in it. If a guest can't think
of one when their turn comes, they're "out". It's not as easy as
it seems. Songs can't be repeated, and you'll be surprised how
quickly people get eliminated. The last person left wins.
Who's who? When you mail out the invitations, ask each guest to
include a picture of themselves as a baby in their response. On
the day of the shower, number each picture and display them in the
room where everyone can see. Give each guess a piece of paper and
let them guess who they think each baby picture is. Whoever gets
the most right wins.
How Many Q-Tips? Get a big jar and fill it with Q-Tips. Be sure to
count them as you put them in. Guests have to guess how many Q-Tips
are in the jar, and the one that comes closest wins!
I hope these suggestions will get the creative juices going and maybe you can modify the games or come up with new ideas of your own.
