shower favors or
baby
shower gifts - During the baby shower, give the mommy-to-be some
baby shower favors or gift items (unwrapped) and let her know that she
will have to start becoming a good story teller for her new bundle of
joy. Have her make up a story to the group, using the favors or gifts in
the story. This would be for a mommy-to-be that does not get easily
embarrassed but really fun to play. Maybe have others who are willing,
join in and create the baby shower story. An original baby shower game

shower guests pitch in and create a story book. Each can create a page
of the story as they all work together in first writing a simple fun
story that can be personalized. Have some great creative group members
illustrate the story and have everyone else color in the book. You
can also take pictures of everyone at the baby shower and glue it on the
last page as a great memory for the parents-to-be. An original baby
shower game and project from baby shower 101.

and give out a baby shower prize to the mommy-to-be's favorite one. A

the baby shower guests have in common and how close to the order of the
mommy-to-be. The winner will have the most in common and the most in
order. An original baby shower 101 game.

Kiss the Blarney Stone
- (Materials: rock and gift of gab) - A great seasonal baby shower game
for end of February and March is to bring in the Blarney Stone.
According to legend (and Wikipedia), kissing the stone endows the kisser
with the gift of gab (great eloquence or skill at flattery). The stone
was set into a tower of the castle in 1446. The castle is a popular
tourist site in Ireland, attracting visitors from all over the world to
kiss the stone and tour the castle and its gardens. During the baby
shower games, bring out a stone and give the history of the Blarney
Stone. Pass it around and have all the baby shower guests say something
nice about the mommy-to-be, parents-to-be, advice for new parents or
even a funny story about your own beginning of parenting. A baby shower
101 baby shower game original.
203)
Baby Number Songs
– (Materials: Paper and Pens) – A really fun baby shower game is to come
up with songs that have numbers in them and have your baby shower guests
guess the number that needs to be part of the title. I also played a
game by searching the web for songs with numbers. An example is the
Beatles hit “When I’m 64”. Thanks to Dolores for this great baby shower game.
204) Bottle
Races - (Materials- Baby bottles with Milk or alternate drink). Have each
participant take a bottle filled with a liquid and suck the bottle as a baby would. The
woman who drinks the most in an alloted time wins the baby shower gift. This baby shower
game gets everyone laughing!

Baby Shower Tummy Draw
- (Materials: Washable paints (non toxic), washable markers, camera) -
Have each baby shower guest sign her name on the mommy-to-be's tummy.
When complete with your masterpiece, take a picture for the mommy to be
placed into her newborn's baby book. Be sure to use washable markers so
the doctor doesn't have a surprise on her next visit. Thanks to Angela
for this great baby shower game.
206)
Baby Shower Taboo Word
- (Materials: Money) - Start the baby shower off by letting everyone
know that there are certain words like "baby", "pregnant", "mommy", or
even a cuss word that your baby shower visitors are not allowed to say.
Have the mommy-to-be or baby shower planner make a rule that anyone
using that word at the shower pays the mommy-to-be for using the taboo
words at least $1.00 or whatever you set. A great way for the
parents-to-be to make some extra spending money and a fun game for the
guests to play at the party! A baby shower game original.
207)
Baby Shower Name Game
- (Materials: Paper, pens) - This game requires a bit of prep but the
baby shower guests seem to enjoy it! Prior to the baby shower, take a
piece of paper and on one side of the paper list some names - include
the baby's name, mothers name and as many guests names as you can think
of; up to 10 to 20 names. Look up the names in a baby book or on line at
the site of your choice. In the second column put the meanings of the
names in a random order. The guests get the sheet of paper and match up
the names with the meanings. Most people will know their own names
meaning and you can start out by giving them one other meaning - I
usually use the baby's name. The person with the most correct matches is
the winner and gets a baby shower prize. Thank you to Karen G. from
Canada for this awesome baby shower game! Also visit our top
baby
shower names section.
208)
Baby Shower Traits Game
- (Materials: Printout and Pens) - We
all want our traits passed to our little ones or want our significant
other's traits passed on as well. This is a fun game where you have to
remember the traits of the mommy and daddy to be to see who knows their
traits/details. A really fun baby shower game to see who can get the
most right. Have the mommy to be go in the other room prior to starting
so no one cheats on knowing her traits. Thanks to Malia A. for this
excellent baby shower game which you can
download here.

Baby Shower A-B-C Game
- (Materials: None) - A really fun and easy baby shower game is to
choose a subject like baby items, favorite rock bands, favorite
celebrities, etc. and go around the room in alphabetical order to name
an item with that letter (i.e., A is for ABC Blocks, B is for Bouncie, C
is for Colic) and see who can stay in the game by continuing to name
items when it is their turn. The winner will be the one that can think
fast and not repeat an item on the second round of the alphabet and can
get an item with their letter when it is their turn. Give everyone 10
seconds to give an answer or they are out.

Did I Really!
- (Materials: None) - Discuss with the girls the funniest or most

Bun in the Oven Art
- (Materials: Copies of pictures for both the mommy and daddy-to-be,
glue, tape, markers, canvas/paper) - Have friends and family bring color
copies of photos from all ages of the mommy-to-be and daddy-to-be. Get a
canvas (from a local art store) or normal paper and cut and paste
different features from the pictures on the canvas to create what their
baby will look like. A really fun game. There is also an Apple App where
you can draw the mommies tummy which you can find

Baby Shower Game: Big Brother (or Sister) Too
- (Materials: large plastic coin bank, shaped like a baby bottle if
possible and M&Ms or other candy) - Find a large plastic coin bank
shaped like a baby bottle and filled it with M&M's. Baby Shower guests
will write their guess of how many M&M's were in the bottle. While mommy
opened gifts have someone go through the guesses to find the winner. The
bottle with M&M's will go home to the new big brother or sister (if they
are old enough) - candy for him/her to eat now - and a coin bank he/she
can fill with change to buy a 1st birthday present for his/her new
little brother/sister next year. The baby shower guest winner got a
large bag of M&M's for themselves or a little
baby
shower gift.

Baby Bootie Toss
- (Materials: Baby booties brought by baby shower guests, light bowl,
chair, duct tape) - Have everyone who brought baby booties stand in a
line with their booties. The more they bring the better. Have each baby
shower guest stand around 3-4 feet away from the mommy-to-be (who can
stand with the bowl taped above her tummy or sit with the bowl on her
tummy). Each baby shower participant will take turns throwing their
booties, trying to get them in the bowl. The winner will get a
baby
shower prize while the mommy-to-be gets to keep the booties she can
use with her new little bundle of joy. Thanks to Vivian K. for this
great baby shower game!

Baby Hop Scotch
- (Materials: Chalk, baby shower item, drinks) - Here is a fun retro
baby shower game where you create the hop scotch diagram on the ground
with chalk and then drop a baby symbolic item for someone to pick up
while playing the game of hop scotch. You can even have drinking
involved if you want to in making it more memorable (make sure to have a
sober driver and not too much drinking and only virgin drinks for the
mommy-to-be!) A fun and easy baby shower game that all can play!

Mom-To-Be Name Sake Advice
- (Materials: colored paper bags preferably colors associated with
babies such as /pink and blue/, /yellow, blue, green, and white/ or
gender specific if gender is known /girls-pink/, /boys-blue/, letters
from the mom to be's first name to paste on front of bags, slips of
paper, and pencils) - Give everyone a slip of paper and a pencil. Divide
participants into even groups of five. Give each group a bag with a
letter from mom to be's name (example: Beth). Each group must come up
with advice for the mom that starts with the letter on the bag. Example:
B- Burp baby every time after she drinks liquid. Each participant in
group must complete a slip and put it in the marked bag. Set a time
limit of 5-10 minutes for all groups to complete the task. Once all
groups are done, share the advice in order of the letters of the mom to
be's name. Thanks to Chandra C. for this wonderful baby shower game

Make an Outfit for the Baby

game, have some guests purchase from baby shower clothes that include
socks, hats, shirts/onesies, bibs, etc. Hide the baby clothes all over
the baby shower venue and have guests look for the baby clothes
throughout the whole shower. Whoever can make an outfit for the sex of
the baby boy or girl before the shower ends wins the game. An added plus

write their name on when they come through the door also have them write
a number from 1-50. At the end of the shower after all the

written on their name tag stands for how many bibs the mother to be
received as gifts. The one with the number on their name tag that is
