Enjoy These Fun And Exciting Baby Shower Games Before The Big Day

Baby shower games are a great way to have some fun before the arrival of the big day! Soon mom is going to be busy with dirty diapers and nighttime feedings. Baby shower games give the opportunity for mom to socialize with all her friends and family while sharing in the joy of the impending arrival of the new baby.

Below is a listing of various baby shower games that are sure to delight party guests. To add to the fun, you may want to have prizes for the baby shower game winners. Prizes will increase the excitement and provide the winners with a keepsake to remember the special event.

DON'T SAY "BABY"

Every guest is given a clothespin to wear on their clothing. The idea of this game is to avoid saying the word “baby” during the entire baby shower. If someone slips and says “baby”, the person who made them say it or heard them say it gets to take the other person’s clothespin. At the end of the shower, whoever is wearing the most clothespins wins! This baby shower game is a fun way to see just how hard it is to keep from saying the word “baby”.

WHO’S THAT BABY IN THE PICTURE?

This is a hilarious baby shower game that allows for guests to see each other in a whole new way. For this game, the baby shower host collects photographs of all the guests from when they were babies and/or young children. The photographs are displayed on a board and labeled with either a number or a letter. During the baby shower guests can try to match the photographs to the correct adult at the party. Each guest is given a sheet of paper to record their answers. A helpful hint – name tags worn by guests can help avoid any embarrassment over forgotten names. The winner is the baby shower guest with the most correct answers. This game is sure to elicit ‘awwws’ and laughter as guests marvel in how much (or little) everyone has changed through the years.

GUESS THE WAISTLINE

It is quite funny to see how guests do with this classic baby shower game. All that is needed to play are a roll of yarn (or string) and a scissor. Guests are asked to cut a piece of yarn that they think will fit around the belly of the mom-to-be. After the last guest has a turn, the mother-to-be cuts a string that fits around her pregnant belly. The person whose cut the piece of yarn that comes closest to this is the winner. For added laughs, have the guest of honor model the yarn guesses. This game is a must. Make sure the mom-to-be saves her yarn measurement as a keepsake of her pregnancy. It will be interesting for her to look back at when she loses all those extra baby pounds.

DRESS THE BABY

This game requires a doll that resembles in size a real-life baby, a diaper, a baby outfit, and a timer. Veteran moms and dads have the advantage in this hilarious game where the object is to diaper and dress the doll in the shortest amount of time. The person who properly diapers and dresses the doll the fastest is the winner (and one to remember when you need a babysitter!).

MMMMMM, BABY FOOD

Guests have the opportunity to challenge their taste buds with this classic baby shower game. All that is needed are a few different flavored jars of baby food (approximately five) and a spoon and plate for each participant. Everyone is given a taste of the first variety of baby food without being told what it is. Guests are instructed to write down what kind of food they think it is, without letting anyone else see their guess. Continue doing this until all foods are presented. Be sure to write down the correct answers to reveal at the end. The person with the most discerning taste buds is the winner.
