Baby Shower Ideas: Fun Games to Play
A baby shower is a joyful celebration of the upcoming arrival of a new baby. It's a time for friends and family to come together, share in the excitement, and shower the expecting mother with love, gifts, and well-wishes. Games are an essential part of any baby shower, and we've got some fantastic ideas to get you started!
1. Baby Bingo
Create bingo cards with words related to babies or baby showers, such as "baby blanket," "diaper," or "onesie." As the host opens gifts, players mark off the words they see. The first person to get five in a row wins!
2. Guess the Baby Food
Prepare several different baby foods, such as applesauce or carrots. Store them in identical containers and have guests guess the flavors. The person who correctly identifies the most flavors wins!
3. Pin the Pacifier on the Baby
A baby shower twist on the classic "Pin the Tail on the Donkey" game. Create a large picture of a baby, and have guests take turns blindfolded and try to pin a pacifier on the baby's mouth. The person who gets their pacifier closest to the correct spot wins!
4. The Price is Right
Gather several different baby items, such as diapers, toys, or clothing. Have guests guess the price of each item. The person who comes closest to the actual price without going over wins!
5. Baby Shower Charades
Write down different baby-related words or phrases, such as "changing a diaper" or "rocking a baby to sleep," on slips of paper. Have guests act out the words or phrases without speaking, and see who can guess the most correctly.
6. The Baby Shower Trivia Game
Create a quiz with questions related to babies and parenting, such as "How much does the average newborn baby weigh?" or "What is the recommended sleep schedule for a newborn?" The person who answers the most questions correctly wins!
7. Pass the Baby
Wrap up a small doll or stuffed animal to represent the baby. Play some fun music and have guests pass the "baby" around. When the music stops, the person holding the baby is out. The last person standing wins!
8. Baby Word Scramble
Create a list of baby-related words, such as "baby" or "onesie," and scramble the letters. Give guests a certain amount of time to unscramble as many words as they can. The person who unscrambles the most words wins!
9. The Onesie Decoration Station
Provide plain white onesies, fabric paint, and other craft supplies. Have guests decorate their own onesies and see who can come up with the most creative design!
10. The Baby Shower Guessing Game
Prepare several different baby-related items, such as a baby block or a baby rattle. Wrap each item in a box or bag and have guests guess what's inside. The person who correctly identifies the most items wins!
These baby shower games are sure to provide hours of fun and entertainment for your guests. Remember to keep things light-hearted and enjoyable, and don't forget to award prizes for the winners!
