Baby
showers can be fun and exciting not only for the mom-to-be but for
the guests as well. Part of making the experience successful is
by thoughtful party planning and having fun baby shower games. Here
are some ideas for baby shower games
Enjoy!
Big
Belly Race
- This is an excellent couples or co-ed shower idea!!
Blow up some balloons, have all the men in the room (or women) put
one under their shirts, and then have a "RACE" to see
which one of them can tie their shoes the fastest!! This is truly
FUNNY and the mom-to-be will absolutely love watching them. (Be
careful though, all the laughing might put her into labor.)
Fastest
Baby Bottle Drinker -
This is a good one! You'll learn just how HARD it is to drink out
of a baby bottle!! Fabulous co-ed shower idea ~ Fun for daddy's
to do this.
Have a few baby bottles filled with something ready to drink. Start
a timer...the person who is done drinking first is the winner!!!
(Please note it is more difficult to drink out of a baby bottle
then you think, so the smaller baby bottles are best to use.)
Dirty
Diaper Game
This can be played a couple of ways.
Option 1. You'll need (5) cloth diapers or disposable diapers and
some miniature candy bars (5 different flavors). Put a different
mini candy bar in each diaper and slightly microwave them (be sure
you keep track of which is which)! Pass the diapers around to see
IF they can figure out what candy bar is in each diaper. This is
a RIOT!!! Your guests will laugh the entire time! The person who
guesses the most correctly WINS!
Option 2. You can make small individual diapers out of paper or
fabric and put a small "stain" (chocolate, mustard, etc)
in a winning diaper. As guests arrive give each person one to pin
on their shirts. The guest who receives the "stained"
diaper is the winner!
How
BIG is the Mom-To-Be's Belly?
Pass around a roll of toilet paper or string to cut. Have your guests
cut the length they think is the measurement of the Mommy's belly!!
(Please note: make sure the Mom-to-be is OK with doing this before
the game starts). The guest that is closest to her actual belly
size is the WINNER!
Baby
Picture Match
Have your guests each bring a baby picture of themselves. Pass around
the baby pictures and see which guests can match the person at the
shower with the baby picture ~ whoever selects the most correctly
is the winner!!
Bottle
"Baby" Game
Buy little bottles from the arts and crafts department. Put them
on a ribbon or string. Tell your guests at the door when you give
the bottle to them that if they say the word "BABY" at
all during the shower, whoever catches them saying it "takes"
their bottle necklace. Whoever has the most at the end of the shower
is the winner.
"It
Takes Two"
Have two people and/or couple stand side by side. For example: man
on left - woman on right. Have man's right hand and womans
left hand to assist each other in dressing a "baby DOLL".
As tiny as some babies may be it's amazing how difficult it is to
dress a baby without tossing it around. The guests were laughing
on how the woman was trying to put the diaper on and the man was
trying to put arm through the dress - I guess it goes back to original
saying "It takes two"!
Guess
the Baby Food
Have 10 (or any amount) baby food jars. Remove each label from the
jars & number each jar lid 1-10. On a poster board tape the
labels from the jars, have the guest try to match them with the
right baby food. Just make sure you write the correct answer down
so you can check them once everyone is done. This is really fun
and a lot harder then you might think.
Guess
how much is in the can & and the winner will get "ALL"!!
Decorate a can before the guests arrive. When the guests arrive,
pass the can around and ask them to put some money in the can, as
much as they want. At the end of the shower whoever guesses the
closest amount will get "ALL"... When you get a winner,
give him or her a bottle of "ALL detergent"!!! Guests
will get a laugh from that one.
Dress
the Baby Race
Blindfold 2 people, hand them a baby doll, doll clothes, a diaper,
and powder. See who can dress the baby the fastest. Baby must have
powder and ALL clothes on.
Pin
the Pacifier on the Baby
Draw a big baby face on construction paper and make a bunch of pacifiers
out of different colored paper. Have the guests stand about five
feet away, blindfold them, spin them around three times and let
them go. Whoever comes the closest to getting the pacifier in the
babys mouth WINS.
Draw
a Pregnant Lady Game
Each guest takes turns drawing with a marker on a piece of paper
their version of a pregnant lady. The trick is
they cannot
see what they are drawing because they have to hold the paper in
their lap facing the rest of the guests. If you have a good group
of people, it is hilarious and the mom-to-be can keep all they drawings
for a scrapbook.
Draw
the Baby Game
Each guest is given a white paper plate and a colored pencil, crayon,
or marker. Have each guest hold the paper plate on top of their
heads and draw a picture of the baby. Guests get a "big bang"
out of each others pictures! Have each guest sign the back of their
pictures and give them to the new mom as keepsakes!!
Toilet
Paper Diaper
Ask a person to find a partner and take a roll of toilet paper and
dress the other person up in a "toilet paper" diaper as
neatly as possible using the entire roll. The team to get finished
first is the winner.
Fun
Baby Shower Idea
Ask each guest in the invitation to bring (as a extra gift) a pack
of diapers or wipes and they will get a raffle ticket. At the end
of the shower, have a drawing for a nice gift basket. The mom-to-be
receives tons of diaper and wipes.
GUM
Baby
Give each guest a stick of chewing gum when they arrive. Have them
chew the gum and then make a baby the best way they can using the
chewed up gum. Whoever makes the best looking baby WINS!
