Fun Game Ideas for Baby Shower

Games are fun ways to break the ice in baby showers. If you are running out of fun baby shower games ideas, try any or all of these games:

Memory Game

Buy 20 or more small baby items and put all of them inside a large basket. The items may include a pacifier, baby bottle, shampoo, small socks, tweezers, rattle, bib, among other baby things. Let the guests take a look inside the basket for 15 seconds, then take the basket away. With a pen and a piece of paper for each guests, ask them to list as many of the baby items as they can remember. The guest who writes the most baby items remembered wins the game. Give the winner a special prize while present the items in the basket to the mom-to-be.

Pin the pacifier

This fun baby shower game is a variation of the game Pin the Donkey’s Tail. Print out a photo of a baby. Then print and cut out a picture of a pacifier (it’s a great idea to print the pacifier on a paper with adhesive on its other side). Have the blindfolded guests take turn in pinning the pacifier on the baby’s mouth in the photo.

Dress the baby

A competitive but fun game for baby showers where in the guests are divided into two teams. The two teams should race each other in dressing up a baby doll. Whichever team that completely dresses the doll faster wins the game.

Balloon Belly

This is one of the most unique and fun baby shower games. Ask each of the guests to put an inflated balloon under their dresses and shirts. Then throw some beads on the floor and have the guests pick as many beads as possible by bending their bellies. The guest who picks the most number of beads in two minutes without bursting his or her balloon is the winner.

Try these game ideas and you are sure to have a memorable baby shower. Baby shower games need not be complicated. Remember to make the rules easy to follow to make the games more fun.
