Baby shower games are a great way to help your guests get to know each other and are a fun way to pass the time. The best thing about baby shower games is that everyone can enjoy them, from great-grandmothers to teenagers. Some baby shower games are quiet, while others are loud and vocal. Before you add the baby shower games, you need to decide how long you want the party to last. You should plan 2-4 hours for the baby shower if you add some games. Meet the baby shower audience. Some people just like to sit back and catch up with old friends or family, while others enjoy playing games. Here are five creative baby shower games to help you get started:
Baby Truth or Dare
Do you have some people who love to play trivia games? Baby truth or dare is the ideal game for you. Some of the questions you should ask should include questions from family members like grandma or sisters. Also talk to the mother-to-be and ask her some questions like what name she plans to give the baby, when is the due date, what is the sex of the baby, etc. Ask these questions for the truth or dare game. The guest who is able to successfully answer the question will get a prize. If they don’t do well, they have to take on a challenge.
measure mommy
Always talk to the mother-to-be about this game because some women don’t like having their belly measured for others to find out. To measure mom, each of your guests will predict how big her belly is. Give them all the toilet paper to figure out how many squares of toilet paper it will take to turn the new mom’s tummy inside out. Once everyone has her toilet paper ready, each guest gets a chance to take her toilet paper and wrap it around her belly to see who is closest to her. It’s a fun game for a mom-to-be who has a good sense of humor. You can also use tape if you don’t want to waste your toilet paper.
Name that baby food
Take a few different jars of baby food, remove the labels and number them. Be sure to write down the correct ingredients for each jar of baby food. Pass out the baby food and have your baby shower guests try to guess what flavor of baby food is in the jar. The person who is able to get all the jars correct or the person who gets the highest number correct is the winner.
Baby items from A to Z
Print out a sheet of paper that has all the letters of the alphabet on it and hand it out to your guests. Give them about 3 minutes to write a baby-related item that begins with each letter of the alphabet. You need to get some baby related items for more difficult letters like Z and X so you can tell your guests what some are in case they ask “what baby item starts with X?” The person who is able to get the most baby items on the paper is the winner.
theme games
If you have chosen a baby shower theme, be sure to use games that are closely related to it. For example, if you’re making a bedtime theme, you can make a singing game where each guest has to remember a song they used when they rocked their babies to sleep. This is a fun way to see what songs other moms have used.
