Time For Baby Shower Fun And Games!
When you create the guest list for your baby shower, you will
probably see that you have gathered together an eclectic group
of family members, friends, neighbors, co-workers, church
friends - most of whom won't know each other! The best way to
break the ice is to play a few baby shower games and get
everyone laughing and comfortable.
Baby Shower Game - How Much Does It Cost?
>From the local grocery store or drug store, gather together a
grab bag of baby items - wipes, diapers, baby food, lotion, baby
wash - and keep the receipt. When you get home, print up lists
of everything in the bag, one for each guest, and leave a space
for them to guess the price of each item. Everyone at the baby
shower guesses the cost of each item and whomever comes closest
to the correct total, wins a prize. The shopping bag, of course,
goes to the mom to be.
Baby Shower Game 2 - Primetime Parenting
What are your family's favorite shows? Is it re-runs of Roseanne
and Bewitched or the latest primetime sitcoms? For your baby
shower, make a list of your favorite shows, leaving the correct
number of blanks for the number of children in each show. Each
guest at the shower tries to fill in all the blanks (correctly!)
and the one with the most right answers, get a prize!
Baby Shower Game 3 - Feeding Time
If you're having a hard time drawing the guy's interest in your
baby shower, try the Feeding Time game. Fill up one 4 ounce
bottle for each male at the baby shower with a palatable drink,
like juice. On your mark, each guy will drink from his bottle
and not stop until it's empty. Keep a stopwatch if you like or
simply watch closely to see who finishes first. The one who does
gets a prize!
Baby Shower Game 4 - Now I Know My ABCs...
On an index card or pieces of construction paper, write down one
letter of the alphabet until you have a card for each letter.
Each of the guests at your baby shower will pick a baby item
that starts with their letter and turn it in to the host.
Everyone guesses which item was chosen and the first one to
answer correctly gets the card. The guest with the most cards at
the end of the alphabet wins the game!
No matter what games you choose to play, make sure that everyone
is included. A baby shower isn't a party until everyone is
laughing!
