When you host a baby shower you can use baby shower games to liven-up the event.  Try to make sure that everyone invited, the mom-to-be, godparents, grandparents, friends and other invitees, will feel comfortable playing the games you have selected.

The baby shower games you choose can help your guests get to know one another and are a great way to help your guests mingle.

Below you will find a few games that you can use to break the ice.  Remember to pick up some fun and inexpensive gifts to use a prizes.

Sing It, Baby!

In this game the guests form a circle - they can sit or stand. Then, each guest must sing a line or two from a song that has the word “baby” in it. When the first game player has finished, the next person seated on her right has ten seconds to sing another “baby” song. “Baby” songs cannot be repeated. Any player who repeat a song or cannot think of a “baby” song leaves the game.  The last person singing in this baby game shower wins the prize!
Measuring Up Mommy

How big has mommy become?  To play this game, have a couple of toilet paper rolls ready and ask each participant to estimate the size of mommy’s girth by cutting the toilet paper to their guess size. Then each one wraps around the new mommy’s stomach the toilet paper they cut. The length most closely approximating the mommy’s stomach wins the prize!

Oh Baby!

Do you remember how you looked when you were a baby?  This baby shower game takes you down memory lane as you need to dig up those baby pictures of yours. Before the party, ask all the guests coming to bring the cutest baby picture of themselves. Upon arrival, get each baby picture and assign a number to each picture. Lay out all baby pictures and give each participant paper and pen and ask them to identify as many baby pictures as they can. The guest with the most number of correct guesses is the winner.

Don’t Say Baby

When everyone arrives, give them a safety pin to place on their lapel or collar.  The idea is that you are to try to get through the baby shower WITHOUT saying the word ‘baby’.  When a player notices that someone with a pin says the word baby, they can take the pin to add to their collection.  The person with the most number of safey pins collected at the end of the shower party wins a prize.

Baby True or False

This baby game shower is for those who love baby trivia. Write down some baby trivia ‘facts’, some with correct and others purposely written incorrectly.  At randon intervals during the baby shower,  read a ‘fact’ and ask if it is true or false. The first person to call out the correct answer gets a prize.

These are but a few of the many baby shower games that you can play to keep the next baby shower you host interesting and fun.
