Fun Baby Shower Games
Baby showers can be a blast thanks to fun baby shower games. Most of the following games are inexpensive and easy to set up. Implement them at your baby shower and watch as guests have a terrific time!
Guess the birth time
Freeze a small, plastic baby in an ice cube tray. Also place a string in the water before you freeze the ice cube tray. Use the string to hang the baby up over the kitchen sink. When guests arrive, have them write down the time that they think the baby will be “born” (that is, the time that the baby falls out of the ice). Whoever guesses closest to the actual time wins. It might be wise to do a practice run of this game before your actual shower so you have an idea of how long the baby will take to thaw.
Pass the Pacifier
For this game, you need plastic straws and two pacifiers. Divide party guests into two evenly-numbered teams that line up in a row. Everyone puts a straw in their mouth. When you say “go”, the first person on each team must pick the pacifier up with their straw by putting the straw through the handle of the pacifier. They then pass the pacifier to the next person on their team by sliding it down their straw. At no time may anyone use their hands to move the pacifier down the row. Give the winning team a prize.
Guess the Baby
Ask all guests in advance to bring a baby picture with them. Discretely arrange these baby pictures with a number next to each picture. Ask all guests to write down which attendee goes with which baby picture. Most number of correct guesses wins a prize. This game is usually a party favorite and can also be played with pictures of baby celebrities.
Match the Baby Socks
Ask each guest to bring a unique pair of baby socks. Take all the pairs and scramble them up on the middle of the floor. Guests take turns being timed on how long it takes them to match up each pair of socks. The winner receives a prize and the baby gets the socks.
Pregnant Waddler Game
This game gives everyone the chance to mimic what it’s like to be pregnant. Each participant blows up a balloon large enough resemble a pregnant woman and places it under their shirt. After being divided into two or three separate teams, players race by “waddling” from one table to another. They waddle by placing their hand on their lower back. In their other hand, they hold a spoon that is balancing an egg they picked up from the first table. They must drop the egg off on the second table and waddle back before the next person on the team takes over the relay race. If anyone drops their egg, they must go back and get a new one.
Winner Takes All
Have everyone place as much spare change as they can in a jar. The jar is then passed around for participants to guess how much money they think is in the jar. Tell everyone that the game is winner takes all. Whoever guesses closest to the exact amount is then given a container of “All” laundry detergent. The baby gets to keep the money. This one is sure to create some laughs.
