Need Ideas for Baby Shower Games?

Baby showers are done so that friends and family of the mom-to-be are able to share the joy of the impending arrival. It usually gives the mom-to-be a respite from all the doctor’s appointments and the classes that she has to take. And besides, who needs an excuse to party?

Baby shower games are part and parcel of any baby shower. It’s one way to keep the party going and to amuse the new mom, of course. If you are the one organizing the baby shower, racking your brain for some ideas for baby shower games is something that you may not like given the many things you may already be thinking off. But don’t fret, we have several baby shower games for you and your friends to enjoy.

As you already know, baby shower games are of course baby-themed. Here are a few suggestions to keep the baby shower going:

· List as Many Baby Items As You Can – for this you will need a pen and a pad of paper. Give the women 3-5 minutes to list as many baby items (booties, diapers, baby bottles) as they can. The one who can list the most number of baby items in that span of time wins. Of course this sounds easy, but wait till the last few minutes and watch the woman cram their heads.

· Pin the Baby on the Mommy – some versions of this game call for a paper baby cutout to be taped nearest to the mom-to-be’s belly, but that sounds too easy. Let’s just go the way of Pin the Tail on the Donkey and let the participants pin a paper belly cutout to a silhouette of the pregnant form. The one who pins the baby closest to the tummy wins!

· The Baby Bottle Drinking Game – not exactly what you’re thinking but somehow exactly as you are thinking. Fill a baby bottle with soda, juice, or iced tea and have the participants have a drink-off. The one who finishes first wins. This is a totally fun game and will surely have everybody laughing.

· Guess the Baby Food – take the labels off some jars of commercial baby food and have the participants guess what it is (carrot, sweet potato, etc). The one who guesses the most number of baby food right wins. Best played with 10 different kinds of baby food.

Other baby shower games can be derived from birthday party games or bridal shower games. It only takes a little to be creative, and who knows, you may be inventing the next baby shower game craze.
