Baby Shower Games
Baby showers are a great way to celebrate the excitement of the mother-to-be on the imminent arrival of her little bundle of joy. So why not liven up the baby with some great baby shower games? These games are a great way for moms-to-be, godparents, grandparents, and other guests to break the ice and play some fun games together.
Some of the baby shower games that can be played include “Sing It”, “Baby!”, “Measuring up Mommy”, “Here’s Looking at You, Kid!”, “Don’t Say Baby”, “Baby Truth or Dare”, “”The Seventh Gift, and “”Dig out the Pins. The list of baby shower games is almost endless!
These games and activities are a great way to let guests mingle and get to know each other, if they aren’t acquainted yet. This is also another great way to honor to the mom-to-be for having that precious baby on the way!
Here is a run-down on how to play these baby shower games while making the baby shower a truly memorable event:
“Sing It, Baby!” - the participants form a circle. They can sit or stand. Then each guest must sing a line or two from a song that has the word “baby” in it. When the first game player has finished, the next person seated on her right has ten seconds to sing another “baby” song. “Baby” songs cannot be repeated, so, participants who repeat a song or cannot think of a “baby” song gets booted out. Last person singing in this game wins a prize!
“Measuring Up Mommy” - this game, as its name implies, gives guests the freedom to measure mommy’s size. Have a couple of toilet paper rolls ready and ask each participant to estimate the size of mommy’s girth by cutting the toilet paper to the size they guess.
Then each one wraps around the new mommy’s stomach the toilet paper they cut. The nearest length approximating mommy’s stomach girth is the winner.
“Here’s Lookin’ At You, Kid!” - remember how you looked when you were a baby? This game takes you down memory lane as you need to dig up those baby pictures of yours. Because you need them to play this game. Before the party itself, request all the guests bring the cutest baby picture of themselves. Upon their arrival, secure each baby picture and assign a number to each picture.
During the game, lay out all the baby pictures and give each participant paper and pen and ask them to identify as many baby pictures as they can. The guest with the most number of correct guesses is the big winner.
“Don’t Say Baby” - this baby shower game makes you NOT say what the party you’re attending is all about! The game is precisely that - don’t say “baby” during the entire length of the game or the diaper pin that was given to you upon your arrival will be taken away from you. The person with the most number of diaper pins collected at the end of the shower party wins a prize.
“Baby Truth or Dare” - this game is for those who love baby trivia. Start by writing down some baby trivia, some correct and others purposely written incorrectly. During the game, randomly ask guests if the baby facts are either true or false. Those who guess correctly get a prize, while those who don’t, will be dared to perform in front of everyone else.
“The Seventh Gift” - we all know that the single lady who catches the bride’s bouquet is designated as the next to get married. Simlarly, legend has it, that the giver of the seventh gift to be unwrapped will be the next expectant mother! Just be sure that you avoid “planting” the seventh gift.
“Dig Out the Pins” - last but not the least, is the baby shower game that tests the agility of the guests
as they fish out the most number of diaper pins from a large bowl filled with uncooked rice and
diaper pins in under two minutes. The participant that has the most number of pins brings home the prize.
So use you imagination and add some fun baby shower games to your baby shower to get everyone involved and make it a memorable event for all in attendance!
