If you are looking for Baby Shower Games that are extremely fun for everyone, and that are easy to plan and participate in, then you will love the games listed below. From word games to memory games, acting games and girl games, and even meaningful games and activities, there are games for every preference and environment. Have fun!
one) Memory game for babies: Before the shower, place about 25 items on a cookie sheet that the expectant mother will need. Take out the cookie sheet with all the items for everyone to see for about 30-40 seconds. Then remove the article tray and everyone will have around 2 minutes to write as many articles that they can remember. The person who writes the most will receive a prize and all items will go to the mother. (Examples of items: bottle, toothbrush, pacifier, bib, soap, blanket, burp cloth, wipes, shoes, socks, diaper, pins, teddy bear, rattle, baby food, ear syringe, etc.)
two) Guess the taste and smell of Gerber: In preparation, buy many different types of baby food and remove the labels (but be sure to remember or mark which is which). Place all the bottles on a tray and pass it to all the women. Women can taste or smell each meal and then write their guesses on their own paper. The woman who guesses the most correctly receives a prize.
3) Mysterious conjecture: When the guests arrive, have a jar full of random baby items that the expectant mother will need. You can have: pacifiers, diapers, rags, soaps, lotions, socks, etc. Each guest will take a piece of paper and guess how many items in total they think are in the jar. The person who comes closest will receive a prize at the end of the shower (and of course, all items go to the expectant mother).
4) Baby Shower Bingo: As exciting as it is to see the expectant mom open all her presents, this game will help everyone else have a little fun too. Label each gift you brought by simply writing a number on the gift (if 15 gifts were brought, number the gifts 1 through 15). Then each woman will take a piece of paper and create 15 squares and randomly place the numbers 1 through 15 along her squares. Each woman will place her numbers individually, so that each person’s numbers are in different squares. Also, if there are more or less than 15 gifts, create as many squares on the paper as there are gifts. Then when the expectant mom opens a gift, she will call the number of that gift and everyone will mark that number on their sheet. Once someone gets 5 in a row (or an X, edges, or blackout), they receive a prize.
5) Baby Alphabet: Each guest will take a pen and paper, and on the left side of the paper they will write all the letters of the alphabet vertically. In “done”, each woman will write as many baby items as she can for each letter. For the letter B, as an example, you could write: bottle, pacifier, burp cloth, brush, booties, etc. If a guest wrote them, they would get 5 points for the letter B. Each guest gets one point for each item they write down; however, if they did not write anything for a letter (or several letters), they lose one point for each letter they did not write. An award is given to the woman who scored the most. To make it more difficult and fun, allot 10 seconds for each letter, and people only get points for writing something that no one else wrote. Check each letter and the person with the most points wins.
6) Baby images: Before the shower, ask for the baby photos of everyone who will be attending. And for fun, get a baby photo of grandma (if she’s no longer with you), a close neighbor friend, a celebrity, even a dad or uncle just for fun, etc. (make sure everyone knows or knows who the person is). Make a collage of all the pictures and number each of the baby pictures. Then each guest will write who they think each baby photo is of. The person who got the most guessed right will win a prize.
7) Decipher the baby’s words: In preparation, write about 20 to 30 baby words / items. Then order the letter of each word. Put all the words on one page and make copies for each guest. Then divide everyone into teams of two and give them 5 minutes to figure out as many words as they can. The team that deciphers the most receives a prize.
8) Baby Drawing Charades: In preparation, write about 20 baby-related items on your own individual sheet of paper and place all the sheets in a container. Items can be: baby bottle, crib, rocking chair, car seat, burp cloth, etc. Divide the group into two teams and one person from each team will come forward. They will take out a paper and both will look at it. In ‘go’, these two will have to draw this item (without talking) with their teammates. The team that guesses first receives a point. Send another person from each team, so that each person has a drawing on duty. The team with the most points at the end receives a prize.
9) Story time and advice: Women and mothers always love to talk about their children. So if other moms are attending the shower, have each of them take just a few minutes to share a fun experience as a mother with a baby and then any advice they have for the new expectant mother.
10) Guess the price: In preparation, buy a lot of items that the expectant mother will need. (Examples: crib, stroller, diapers, clothing, lotion, wipes, burp clothes, bibs, soap, powder, etc.) Then write down what each individual item actually costs. For the game, take out one item at a time and have each guest guess how much that item actually costs (guests will write guesses on their own paper). Once all the items have been guessed, the correct prices will be revealed. Each player will reveal what they wrote and the person who came closest to that particular award will get a point. Then the price of the next item is revealed and this is repeated. The guest with the most points after all item prices have been revealed will receive a prize.
