Spice Up Your Baby Shower Festivities With Some Baby Shower Games!

A few baby shower games will put the proverbial icing on the cake to your successful baby shower celebration. It could add a little zip to any gathering, and quite literally helps your guests and the perspective parents get acquainted and feel at ease from the get go.  Let’s start off with a few suggestions of some games that might interest you:

The Name Game

The first game I will talk about is called “The Name Game”. Simply have your guests choose two names for the baby. Once they have thought about the names ask them to write them on a piece of paper. Next ask them to find words that can be made from those names. The object of the game is to make as many words from these names as possible.

Give the guests a certain amount of time, as much as may be needed. Now you as the proctor should tell the guests that the minimum number of letters for each constructed word will be three. Explain that words that are made of two or less words will not be counted.

Make sure that your company does not tell the names they have chosen outright. As a twist to the game can be made by having the guests try to guess the original names the players have chosen using the constructed words used. This is sure to be an icebreaker and really help with getting everyone in the festive mood and set the perspective parents at ease. The next game that I will talk about is called:

Feeding Time!

Put a number of cotton balls in a big bowl, and place another empty bowl in front of it. The object of the game is to have the players try to transfer the cotton balls from one bowl to the other while blindfolded. The players will need to do this one at a time. You will want to have them use spoons to transfer the cotton balls.

What makes this baby shower game among other baby shower games a challenge is the fact that the cotton balls are so light, it will actually be really hard to gauge how many ball you are scooping with the spoons. The winner of the game will be the player who is able to transfer the most number of cotton balls per thirty seconds than his/her other opponents. Another blind fold game that you can play is called:

Rice Bowl

You will want to fill a rice bowl half-way with plain, uncooked rice at which point you will then mix in some safety pins (be sure that the safety pins are closed first). Have the guests take turns one at a time at this baby shower game. Blindfold the players and set them right in front of the bowls. The object of the game is to transfer as many safety pins into a different rice bowl within 30 seconds.

Now this is a bit more challenging since the safety pins feel a lot like the rice too. Your guest are sure to have fun with this game as well. Okay, let’s take a different approach now… Though there are many baby shower games to choose from, the next baby shower game that you may want to consider entertaining you guest with is called baby guests. This is a fun game that will have your guest racking their memories with sure delight.

Baby Guests

In your invitation you will have you guests bring along some baby pictures of themselves to the baby shower celebrations. As the guests enter the celebration area, have them give these photos to a secretary who will label them with removable tape at the back and note on a different sheet of paper the identity of the photo.

Be very careful with these photos as they are very important keepsakes. Once you have collected the photos and have marked them you will then furnish the guests with a piece of paper and a pen and show the baby pictures to everyone one by one. The object of the game is to have the guests try to guess the identity of the photo and write it down on their answer sheets. Afterwards, reveal the answers to the quiz.

The person to get the most number of correct guesses wins the game. These are but a few of the dozens of games you could play during the baby shower celebration, and as you can see these are very inexpensive. Make sure these baby shower games foster friendships and, of course, put the newborn baby and perspective parents in the spotlight. This will surely make your baby shower a lot more interesting and memorable.
