BABY SHOWER GAMES
Baby shower games at your baby shower can
be one of the most memorable experiences during the pre-baby events that
will take place for the days to come. Part of making the experience
successful is by thoughtful party planning and having fun baby shower
games! Before starting the baby shower games, it is always good to go
around the room first as an ice breaker and have everyone introduce
themselves and how they know the Mother-To-Be. Below we have listed the most popular baby shower games to play during the baby shower.
Here are some
baby shower prize ideas when
playing baby shower games.

 1) Guess Mom's
Tummy Size: (Materials- String or yarn and scissors) Have each woman pull
the yarn to the size they believe would fit perfectly around the Mother-To-Be's center of
her pregnant tummy. After everyone cuts their string, compare the results to the
Mommy-To-Be's actual tummy. Give a prize to the woman who is the most close! This is a
baby shower favorite.
2) Never say
"Baby": (Materials- baby safety pins or another type of baby
object you can place on a string for each woman at the party as well as string or yarn,
enough for each woman to wear as a necklace). Have each woman place the necklace with the
baby safety pins around her neck when she gets to the party. The rules
for this baby shower game are given out at
the beginning of the baby shower that whenever someone says the word "baby"
during the shower, any woman who calls it out gets a pin from the other woman who stated
the word. At the end of the baby shower, the woman with the most pins wins a prize.
3) How Many
Baby Items Can You Name: (Materials- pad of paper and pen for each woman).
Have each woman write down as many baby products as they can name (bottle, blanket,
pacifier, etc) within 5 minutes. Sure it is easy at the beginning, but towards the last
few minutes, the women will start racking their brains for more :) Give a prize to the
woman who gets the most baby products named!
4) Who Can
Make The Mother-To-Be's Baby: (Materials - Baby magazines, Scissors, Glue,
Paper). Have the women group up into teams of 3 and give each 3 baby magazines. Have them
cut out pieces of different baby qualities and put together a picture of what they think
the Mother-To-Be's baby will look like. Have the Mother-To-Be pick which baby would
possibly look like hers the best! Give prizes to the winning team! One
of the top baby shower games!
5)

Pin The Sperm on the Egg. Just like the old fashion game of pin the tail
on the donkey, this new and exciting version will thrill your friends
and family at your next baby shower!
6) Guess How
Many Safety Pins: (Materials- Safety Pins and Jar). Pass around a jar full
of baby safety pins. The one who guesses the closest wins a baby shower prize.
A baby shower game favorite!
One of our visitors, Lynn, stated that
she filled a clear plastic container (about 50 qt size with disposable
diapers) all the same size (size 1) and had people guess how many
diapers were in the container. Of course, container and contents go to
mom since, as we all know, you can never have enough diapers. This baby
shower game is very functional for the mommy-to-be!
You can find great
baby shower
decorations to help with the baby shower games as well as to decorate
your party!
7) How Well Do
You Know Mommy-To-Be: (Materials- Pre-Printed Form and pen for each
woman). Have each women guess what features she wants most on the baby from either her or
her husband (Daddy-To-Be). An example of this idea is found below:
| Attribute |
Mommy |
Daddy |
| Eyes |
X |
|
| Ears |
|
X |
| Nose |
X |
|
| Legs |

X |
| Hair |
X |
|
| Smile |
|
X |
| Intelligence |

X |
| Humor |

Select 25 attributes and ask everyone to fill
in the form from what each woman feels the "mommy-to-be's" point of view"
will be. After everyone checks off the list, have the mommy-to-be state her preference.
The one with the most correct match to the Mommy-To-Be wins a prize. This is a great baby
shower game!
 8) Place The
Baby On The Mommy: (Materials- Cutouts of a baby with tape and blindfold).
Another one of our favorite baby shower games is the baby shower version of Pin The Tail on the Donkey. Blindfold each participant and then
give them a paper baby to then approach the mom and place the baby as close to the tummy
as possible. The one who gets closest to placing the paper baby on the pregnant tummy
wins.

10) Baby Bingo:
(Materials- Pens, Pre-Printed Bingo cards that use the numbers of how many people attend
the baby shower) Prior to opening the baby shower gifts, number each gift on the box starting with
one. If you know that 15 people will be attending your shower, pre-print bingo cards with
numbers 1 through 15 and randomly place them on 15 cards. When the mommy-to-be's decides
to open the presents, she grabs the present she wants to open and reads the number out
loud. As soon as someone receives bingo, they win the baby shower game and the baby shower prize.
