EVEN MORE BABY SHOWER GAMES

36) Baby's First Food (Salad Bowl, Cotton Balls, Big Salad Spoon). Set up a salad bowl in the middle of a table, and empty out two bags of cotton balls - spreading them out around the bowl. Blindfold the first baby shower guest and ask her to sit near bowl with a big spoon and see how many cotton balls she can spoon into the bowl in 3 minutes. It's hilarious since you can't feel the weight of the cotton balls, you don't know what you're doing. Whomever gets the most in the bowl wins! Ideally, you would let the baby shower "mommy to be" and her relatives play as well as the baby shower planner. Thanks visitor Karen for this idea!

37) Diaper Doo (Materials-small pieces of white material that can be folded into small diaper lapels, safety pins, one small piece of chocolate). As guests arrive, pin a small diaper to each on their lapel. Tell them they will be told later what it's about. At the end of the party ask everyone to remove their diaper and open them up. One person should have a "special surprise" inside. The melted piece of chocolate! This baby shower game idea was given to us by Pam :)

38) Purse Scavenger Hunt (Materials-each guests own purse/handbag) Can be played in teams if someone arrives without a purse or handbag. A preprinted list is handed out to everyone with various items normally found it ladies bags and items rarely found in them. Example-the invitation to this shower, an overdue utility bill, any form of birth control, key chain with a baby picture, picture of a pet, expired voters registration card, grocery list, grocery receipt with toilet paper purchase. . .be creative and watch women go crazy empting out their personals for all to share! Assign a point system. Grocery list may only be worth one point, where a baby rattle is worth 10! Thanks again Pam for this wonderful baby shower game idea.

39) Whose Water Breaks First (Materials - Medium size plastic babies, Clear disposable cups that will fit the plastic babies). This game is a great and fun game given to us by visitor Alejandra. Prior to the day of the baby shower, fill each of the cups with water enough to cover the plastic baby toys at least halfway (since they may float). Place the cups in the freezer until frozen stiff (you need to prep the night before). The day of the baby shower party, give a cup to all the women who attend the shower as they arrive. Whoever can melt the water the quickest or their water breaks gets the prize. The baby shower attendees can try to melt by blowing hot air on it or putting it in the sun (everything goes, let them get creative). It's a game that everyone can play at the baby shower no matter what age or physical limitation they may have. Alejandra tells us at, "Once had a guest try to outsmart me and place the cup in the microwave but the plastic cup melted in the microwave and she was eliminated from the game (ha ha ha ha it was tooo funny)." I think this game will soon become a baby shower favorite!

40) Who Sucks The Best (Materials: baby bottles with nipples all the same size, favorite drink or drink of choice for the group and timer). This baby shower game is a riot since it involves those who are participating to drink out of baby bottles and race to see who can finish the first. It is fun to time everyone and see how long it takes for everyone to finish. Have teams and race in groups with each group having a winner that moves up to the final. Also a great baby shower game to play if the baby shower is co-ed. Have the men of the group race to see who can win for their wives/girlfriends. One of our visitors to the site state they used Beer (sober driver please) as the drink for the men. Have a great time.

41) Baby Shower Memory Game (Materials: clothesline, clothespins as well as items like baby bottle, pacifier, bib, receiving blanket, shoes, socks, hat, gloves, baby pin, teddy bear, rattle, onesie, sleeper, picture frame to hang up on the clothesline). Hang up a clothesline with all the different baby items. Have two people hold up the line for 1 minute and then take the line down (hide it) and have everyone write down every item they can remember (from memory). Give everyone 3 minutes to write down as many items as they can remember. Bring out the line again and see how many everyone got from their memory. An easy and fun baby shower game! Thanks to viewer Carol for this idea!

42) Pregnant for a Day Co-Ed Game (Materials: Bag of medium balloons, a roll of yarn cut into approx. 20 inch pieces, and a chair for each male participant). Don't tell the object of the game up-front. Make a statement to the women in attendance-- "How many of us women wished that men could be pregnant just for one day?" This statement will leave the men full of suspicion as to what was about to unfold. Hand each man a balloon. For each man that doesn't have on shoes with shoe laces, tie the piece of yarn around each of his slip on shoes to mimic a shoestring. Do not form the bow. Only make a knot to help keep the yarn around the shoe. For those who do have on string up shoes, instruct them to untie their shoes.

Instruct each man to blow up his balloon and tell each man when to stop filling it with air. The balloons should be filled with enough air that it could fit under each participant's shirt, yet be a bit uncomfortable for them to sit down and tie their shoes without popping the balloon. Keep in mind that men who already have a "pot-belly" might need to blow up a smaller balloon. Give the object of the game and the rules. Start the game and whoever ties their shoes without popping the balloon, or lifting their feet from the floor wins. You'll see husbands, cousins, boyfriends come up with such creative ideas as how to attack this difficult task. Naturally, you get a roll of laughter from the baby shower guests as they watch this hysterical event and the men will get to see what it's like to be pregnant for a day! Thanks Ja'Ponica for this idea!

43) Apple Sauce Never Tasted So Good (Materials: large garbage bags, jars with applesauce, baby spoons). Pair up volunteers. Give each participant a garbage bag and instruct them to tear out a hole for their arms and head and then put on the trash bag to cover their clothing. Blindfold each participant. Give each participant a bowl of Applesauce with 5 or more tablespoons of Applesauce in it. Have each blindfolded team feed their partner the applesauce and the team who completes their jar the quickest wins. I've never seen so many people who couldn't get the spoon to their partners mouth. Thanks Ja'Ponica for this idea as well!

44) Out Of The Mouths Of Babes: (Items required-pen and blank paper) - Give the baby shower guests a time limit of 10 minutes and have them write down as many baby-talk words as they can think of followed by the correct name for the words. Examples: potty is going to the toilet, poo-poo is a bowl movement, wee-wee is urinating (or it may be a boy's penis), baa-baa is a bottle, bye-bye is good bye, wa-wa is a drink of water. You may need to give them one example to get them started. Our guest Pam whose idea this is stated, "At a recent shower, we played this game and heard about 20 different terms just for "pacifier". Everyone has funny and different baby words so there are no wrong answers. The real fun is reading them out loud and hearing some of the silly terms we adults have come up with to communicate with our babies or the creative words our children have used to communicate with us! It's hysterical how many adults still use slang words, for example, we had someone write "poo-poo is baby talk for doo-doo"!! We laughed our "boe-boe" off!" Thanks for the game Pam!

45) Draw A Baby Game (Materials: Crayon and paper plate) - Each participant is given a paper plate and a crayon. They are asked to place the plate on their heads, like a hat. They are given 1 minute to draw a baby on the plate while holding it over their heads. They then write their names on the other side. Mother-to-be chooses the best drawing as the baby shower winner. Thanks for this idea Daima.

46) Doll Creations (Materials: Scrapbooking materials, scissors, glue) - Scrapbooking materials, scissors, glue and a paper doll are given to each table (can include yarn, buttons, etc). Each table has to dress up the paper doll with the materials provided. Mother-to-be chooses the prettiest doll as the winner. A very cute baby shower game and lots of fun for the participants! Thanks again Daima for this great baby shower game.

47) Guess the Birth Time (1" plastic baby figure, ice cube tray, string, water) - The night before take a small - 1" or so plastic baby and place in an ice tray. Cover with water - you do not have to fill just enough to cover the baby - then place a string or piece of yard into the water. Freeze overnight. When the guest arrive hang the baby up over the kitchen sink or a bowl (something to catch the water). Then each guest should pick a time that they think the "baby' will be born. When the baby falls out whoever is closest to the time wins. This creative baby shower game idea comes from Dana (thanks Dana!). She stated the first time she tried this game, they practiced a few days before to see how long the ice would take to melt. If it takes longer then the time allowed for the shower you may want to hang it up before the shower starts.

48) Guess the Baby Powder and Baby Formula (Materials: Ten different types of powder like sugar, baking soda, sugar, flour, laundry detergent, pancake mix, baby powder and powdered baby formula as well as 10 zip lock backs, paper and pens) - Number the bags 1 to 10 each containing one of ten white powders All of the baby shower guests pass the bags around writing down on a piece of paper what they thought the "white stuff" was. Whomever guesses the most correct wins. Make sure to write down the actual powders before handing them out. Thanks to Sarah-Lynn for this baby shower game idea!

49) Baby Shower "Loving" Advice (Materials: red and white cardboard paper, scissors, and colored pens) - A great baby shower game to play is to have everyone write a "loving" message for the mother and father to be on cardboard cutout hearts in giving them advice for when the baby is born or during their last few days or months before the baby is born. The "loving messages on hearts tie in with a Valentine's theme very well or at any time during the year. Examples of this would be "Remember to enjoy the moments since they go fast, Get as much sleep as possible before the baby is born and when he/she takes naps, Make sure to take lots of pictures and keep up with a journal writing everything the baby does for the first time, etc. This can be a very memorable and touching activity at the shower as well as help for the new parents.

For those who don't know the gender of the baby, get a scrap book page from a scrapbooking/crafts shop with neutral colors (e.g. yellows, purples, teal) and with baby pictures such as animals, rattles etc.. Stick it up on the wall and get 2 pads of heart-shaped post-it notes (or cut out your own paper hearts in pink and blue). Everyone who attends the baby shower must write 1 tip/advice for the parent's to be and use a pink or blue paper, depending on what they think she will be having! She can read them out at the end of the party and can add it to her baby scrapbook for special memories. Thanks to Taskeen for this great baby shower idea!

50) The Pacifier Pass (Materials: Pacifiers with handles you can hold and straws) - Break up into teams of 4 or 5 people and have everyone stand in a line facing the person in front of them. The first person will place a straw in their mouth and place the straw through pacifier handle and in their mouth (the straw in their mouth not the pacifier). When you say "go" the first person passes the pacifier to the next person who should have their straw in their mouth and lets the pacifier slide down their straw (without any hands and no contact other than the straw). Everyone on the team passes the pacifier from straw to straw, no hands, no contact but lots of fun. Thanks to Steph for this great baby shower game!

51) Baby Diaper Raffle (Materials: Pen, Invite, special gift for baby shower guest) - Make it known on everyone's invitation, that if they bring a pack of diapers (for a newborn) to the baby shower that they will be entered into a drawing for a gift. This is a great way for helping make sure the new parents will have enough diapers to start with! Thanks to Jessica for this idea which she did at her baby shower.

52) Guess the Bibs Lottery (Materials: Paper and pen) - When the guests arrive, ask them "guess how many bibs will the mother-to-be get in her gifts." Write the guests name on a piece of paper with the number. Have someone count the total number of bibs after all gifts are opened. the person with the closest guess wins a prize. Thanks to Renee for this great baby shower game!

53) Find the Safety Pins (Materials: large bowl, long grain rice, safety pins ?(small or medium) and blindfold) - Fill bowl with rice and about 20 safety pins. Blindfold each participant from the baby shower for 1 minute and let the participant feel around in the bowl to see how many safety pins they can get. Keep score for each person playing. you would not believe how hard it is to tell the difference of the safety pin and the rice. Thanks Monita for this baby shower game idea.

54) Guess the Baby Picture (Materials: Tape, cardboard, pads of paper and pens/pencils) - Before the baby shower, ask everyone to bring in one picture of when they were one years or younger. Have all the pictures posted on a board and have everyone guess who each of the babies are. The winner should get a gift!

55) Guess The "Celebrity" Baby (Materials: Celebrity Magazines, Baby Magazines, Poster Board, Glue) - Prior to the baby shower, go through magazines cutting out 15 different pictures of babies. Go through varies different magazines and cut out baby heads and celebrity bodies. Paste the baby heads onto the celebrity bodies. Try to use a variety of celebrities from different era's too as to accommodate the different ages of your guests. You can either use a giant poster board and paste the pictures onto it or you can paste the pictures to cardstock and laminate each one. Don't forget to number each one and write down the celebrity. Have each guest try to guess the name of the celebrity. The one who guesses the most correctly wins. Thanks to Trisha for this idea.

56) Baby Shower "Guess What's In The Bag" Game (Materials: Paper Bags of different sizes to fit different size items, items listed below, pen) - You will need 10 paper bags. For fun, use colored ones. On the front of the first bag put a letter "B", the second "A", third "B", fourth "Y", and so on spelling out "B A B Y S H O W E R". Inside each bag is an item for the baby beginning with the letter on the outside of the bag. Guests cannot pick up the bags. Display them on a table so they can see how big the bags are. Whoever guesses the most correctly wins. Here is an example of what you might put in the bags:

B - Bottle, brush, booties, burp cloth
A - Aspirator, apple sauce
B - Bib
Y - Yellow Rubber Ducky (you may have to give a clue for this one)
S - Spoon, soap, shampoo
H - Hat, hanger (baby size), headband
O - Onesie, oil, oragel
W - Wipes, wash cloth
E - Ear suringe, ear ache medicine
R - Rattle, receiving blanket, rash medicine

Thanks again to Trisha for this idea!

57) Baby Sock Game (Materials: 14 pairs of baby socks that can be given to the mommy to be after the game, timer). Take the 14 pairs of new baby socks of different styles and colors and mix them up. Next, start and timer and tossed them in the middle of the floor, each guest has 1 minute to try and "match" as many socks as they can. A very fun baby shower game.

58) The Baby Supplies Memory Game (Materials: Different baby items such as a bottle, pacifier, diaper, etc as well as pads of paper and pens) - Place several baby items on the table (i.e., rattle, teather, lotion, bottle scrubber, mittens, comb). Leave the baby shower items out for a few seconds to view the items and then take the items away. Everyone has to write down as many items as they can remember. The one with the best memory wins. And the mommy of course gets to keep the items. Thanks to Mariah for giving us this baby shower game!

59) Diaper Bag Game (Materials: Diaper Bag, necessary items for a new born or their parents, pads of paper and pens) - Take a diaper bag and fill it with everything that the mother to be will need to take with her every time she goes out with baby. Give each guest a paper and pen and have them write down as many things they think are in the diaper bag in a certain amount of time. Time limit should depend on how many items there are to guess. When times up start taking the items out of the diaper bag and see who guessed the most. At the end the Mother to-be gets to keep the diaper bag and all the items. A favorite item of mine to add to the diaper bag is a disposable camera for those once in a lifetime shots (most guests miss that one). Thanks to Carolyn for this great baby shower game idea!
