Baby Shower Game

The following is a list of possible baby shower games.

1. Estimate Size of the Mother-to-be's Waist Game

Pass around a ball of string and a pair of scissors. Each party member cuts off a piece of string guessing the length to fit around the Mother's middle. Mom tries on each string. The person with the closest length wins a prize. Meanwhile, Mom gets to show off her proud tummy! Great for co-ed baby showers! Some showers use toilet paper instead of string. Ribbon would work well, too.

2. Baby Questions

Pass out note cards and pencils to each attendee. Each person writes a common baby question such as "What do you do when a baby cries?" or "How do you get a baby to sleep through the night?" Then collect the cards and redistribute them face down (so you cannot see the question) and have each attendee write the answer to their initial question on the blank side. Then read the cards and get ready to laugh!

For example, you could have a card with a question "How do you know you have folded a cloth diaper correctly?" on one side and the answer "When you get your first smile" on the other.

3. Balloon Carry

Place two laundry baskets across the room from each other, one with about 10 party balloons. Divide guests into two teams. Each member of the team puts a balloon between her knees and waddles across the room placing the balloon in the other laundry basket without touching the balloon with their hands. (Shaking, wiggling and hopping over the basket to free the balloon are all allowed!) The balloons get full of static so this can be tricky. After the attendee gets his/her balloon in the basket or drop it on the floor, he/she runs back and the next team member goes. Two teams can go at the same time with four baskets or one team at a time. Whichever team gets the most balloons in the basket within a certain time frame wins. This game is good for pregnant belly grabbing laughter especially if mom-to-be gets an honorary turn.

4. Clothes Pin Grab

Two attendees hold a long cord (meant to resemble a clothes line), with numerous clothes pins attached. Everyone has to try with ONE hand to get as many clothes pins off while still holding them with the same ONE hand. As soon as you drop one you are out and that one does not count. What is your party's record?

5. Cotton Ball Games

Pass around a jar of Vaseline and tell everyone to take as much as he/she needs. When everyone has some on his/her finger, tell them to cover their nose with it! The objective of the game is to get as many cotton balls from a big bowl to the floor in 60 seconds only using the Vaseline covered nose. The attendee with the most balls on the floor wins (balls on the nose do not count).

Hint: To get the balls off the nose, shake your head or blow on the balls. Most likely, laughing will not make them come off!

6. Dirty Diapers

Fold white napkins or cloth into little diapers and close with small diaper pin. Hand one out to each attendee when he/she arrives. At the end of the party, each attendee opens his/her diaper and the one with the brown "poop" spot wins a prize.

Before the party: Take ten disposable diapers (number doesn't matter) and number the outside from one to ten. Then smear the inside of each with some smelly food item (i.e. tuna, horseradish, Italian dressing, garlic, mustard) Close each diaper up.

To play: Pass out paper and pens. Each diaper is then passed around for the players to smell. The one with the most correct guesses wins! Stephanie played this at her shower and got some great pictures of people holding the smelly diapers up to their nose.

7. Name Poem with Advice

If you already have a name picked out, have the attendees make a childs poem or family poem with the letters of the name. For example if the first letter is N, the tip could be "Never pull on daddy's mustache." If the next letter is E, the tip could be "Eat all your veggies!"

8. Baby Expression

Create a sheet of four to six baby pictures or baby clipart (from magazines, mother-to-be photo album, family albums, etc.). Give photocopies of the sheet to each guest. The guests try to create funny captions of what they think the baby is trying to say!

9. Dress the Baby

The idea is to dress a doll just like you would a real baby. Get a doll about the size of a baby and clothing to dress it up in. Include a cloth diaper, rubber pants, socks or booties, t-shirt, pants and shirt for a boy, dress for a girl, bonnet, etc. Give a 2 minute time limit to see who can dress the baby the fastest without being harmful to this make believe child. The attendee who gets the most clothes on the baby wins. Funny!

10. Feed the Baby

Have the guests divide up into teams of 2, one is be the MOTHER the other is to be the BABY, give each team a baby bottle filled with a preferred beverage; remember to cut the nipple hole a little larger; the BABY sits in MOTHER'S lap and is fed the bottle. The team who finishes the bottle first wins the prize! Very funny, especially if you decide to use a soft drink as the beverage.

11. Pin the Diaper on the Baby

A variation on pin the tail on the donkey. Instead of pins, use tape, and die-cuts of diapers. Attendees try to tape them, blindfolded, on to a picture of a baby. Closest diaper to the right spot wins a prize.

12. Baby Draw

Have the attendees draw a picture of a baby, see our baby album. But instead of holding the paper on their laps, they have to put the paper on their heads! Use a paper plate or magazine under the paper to ease the drawing. The guest of honor picks the one she likes best or most resembles a baby.

13. Baby Word Scramble Game

Pick 10 or so words related to babies and scramble the letters. Photocopy the scrambled words on a sheet of paper for each party attendee. Give a time limit of about 5 minutes for each person to try to unscramble the words. Here is a sample of 20 words to get you started (some easy, some hard). **Printing tip, save the web page on your hard disk, then print it out. It will be much faster than printing directly from the web.

14. Try Not to Say "Baby" Game

Every baby shower attendee gets a baby diaper pin to pin on his/her clothes. Everyone tries not to say "Baby" during the party. When someone does, the first person who catches the slip, gets to confiscate the pin. The one with the most pins at the end of the party, wins!

Another variation on this game that is also used for Bridal Showers is to confiscate the pin when someone crosses his/her legs. This works best for smaller showers where everyone is sitting around a living room and can watch each other's legs!
