Baby Shower Games

1) Guess Mom's Tummy Size: (Materials- String or yarn and scissors) Have each woman pull the yarn to
the size they believe would fit perfectly around the Mother-To-Be's center of her pregnant tummy. After

woman who is the most close! This is a baby shower favorite.

2) Never say "Baby": (Materials- baby safety pins or another type of baby object you can place on a string
for each woman at the party as well as string or yarn, enough for each woman to wear as a necklace). Have
each woman place the necklace with the baby safety pins around her neck when she gets to the party. The
rules for this baby shower game are given out at the beginning of the baby shower that whenever someone

stated the word. At the end of the baby shower, the woman with the most pins wins a prize.

3) How Many Baby Items Can You Name: (Materials- pad of paper and pen for each woman). Have each
woman write down as many baby products as they can name (bottle, blanket, pacifier, etc) within 5 minutes.
Sure it is easy at the beginning, but towards the last few minutes, the women will start racking their brains for
more :) Give a prize to the woman who gets the most baby products named!

4) Who Can Make The Mother-To-Be's Baby: (Materials - Baby magazines, Scissors, Glue, Paper). Have
the women group up into teams of 3 and give each 3 baby magazines. Have them cut out pieces of different

of the top baby shower games!

5) Guess The Gerber's: (Materials - Gerber's infant food, pads of paper and pens). Take the labels off of
the baby food jars and have the women at the baby shower guess the food (carrots, peas, sweet potato).

taste one of the jars and guess the right flavor to win their prize.

6) Guess How Many Safety Pins: (Materials- Safety Pins and Jar). Pass around a jar full of baby safety
pins. The one who guesses the closest wins a baby shower prize. A baby shower game favorite!

One of our visitors, Lynn, stated that she filled a clear plastic container (about 50 qt size with disposable
diapers) all the same size (size 1) and had people guess how many diapers were in the container. Of course,
container and contents go to mom since, as we all know, you can never have enough diapers. This baby
shower game is very functional for the mommy-to-be!

7) How Well Do You Know Mommy-To-Be: (Materials- Pre-Printed Form and pen for each woman). Have
each women guess what features she wants most on the baby from either her or her husband (Daddy-To-
Be). An example of this idea is found below:

Legs X
Hair X
Smile X
Intelligence X
Humor X
Other X
Select 25 attributes and ask everyone to fill in the form from what each woman feels the "mommy-to-be's"
point of view" will be. After everyone checks off the list, have the mommy-to-be state her preference. The
one with the most correct match to the Mommy-To-Be wins a prize. This is a great baby shower game!

8) Place The Baby On The Mommy: (Materials- Cutouts of a baby with tape and blindfold). Another one of
our favorite baby shower games is the baby shower version of Pin The Tail on the Donkey. Blindfold each
participant and then give them a paper baby to then approach the mom and place the baby as close to the
tummy as possible. The one who gets closest to placing the paper baby on the pregnant tummy wins.

9) Bottle Races: (Materials- Baby bottles with Milk or alternate drink). Have each participant take a bottle
filled with a liquid and suck the bottle as a baby would. The woman who drinks the most in an alloted time

attend the baby shower) Prior to opening the baby shower gifts, number each gift on the box starting with
one. If you know that 15 people will be attending your shower, pre-print bingo cards with numbers 1 through
15 and randomly place them on 15 cards. When the mommy-to-be's decides to open the presents, she grabs
the present she wants to open and reads the number out loud. As soon as someone receives bingo, they win
the baby shower game and the baby shower prize.

11) "B" is for Baby: (Materials paper and pens passed out to all the women). Each woman is told to write

a collage and make lines for people to fill in who they think the babies are out of the girls at the baby shower.
If most women don't know each other, just have the pictures of the mother, mother-in-law, sisters, and
mommy-to-be. See how many people guess right. You can make copies of the baby picture collage to see
how many can guess right!

15) Baby Scrambler: Another fun baby shower game is to choose around 25 baby related items and

words. The one who gets the most right in 5 min receives a baby shower prize.

16) Baby Song List: (Materials - pad of paper and pen for each woman). Have each woman write down in 5
minutes all the songs that have baby in their titles (i.e., baby love, santa baby, one for my baby). You can
make it harder by stating that you have to name who also wrote the songs! A baby shower favorite!

17) Pass the Dirty Diaper: (Materials- diaper, chocolate, music player). One of our "dirtiest" baby shower
games is for the host to take a diaper that has been "fixed" with warm chocolate in the right place and have
the woman pass it to the woman next to them (make sure everyone is in a circle). When the host stops the
music, whomever is holding the diaper is out of the game. a baby shower favorite!

blindfolded women try to tape the pacifier as close to the mouth of the baby as possible (The baby shower
version of Pin The Tail on the Donkey).

19) Blindfold Diapering: (Materials- blindfold, baby lifesize doll(s), diapers). One of the funniest baby
shower games is for the women break into teams (up to five persons per team). Each team has a doll,
blindfold and diapers. The object is for each participant to place the blindfold on, take the current diaper off
the doll and place the new one on while blindfolded. After the first person finshes diapering, they run to the

utensil, and baby facts). People are broken up in teams and have to answer a question about a baby fact. If
they get the answer right, they get to choose a space (like the classic tic-tac-toe game).

21) Baby Alphabet Game - Give each woman at the baby shower a pen and a piece of paper that has the
alphabet written vertically down the left side of the page. The object of the game is for the woman to write
one word that has to do with babies next to each letter of the alphabet. Set a timer for two minutes and
whoever has the most baby words wins. (For example: A=alphabet, B=bottle, C=cuddly bear, etc)

22) Baby Pictionary - Before the baby shower, create playing cards by writing words or phrases that have
to do with babies on each card. During the baby shower, divide into teams and give each team a pen or
pencil and pad of paper. Each round, one person from each team views a card and draws the word or
phrase for her team to guess. The team that guesses correctly first earns one point. Set a timer for two
minutes to keep the game moving along. If the timer goes off before a team guesses correctly, allow
someone new from each team to draw and choose a new card. After playing 5-10 rounds, each team adds
up their points and the team with the most wins. A prize should be given to each person on the team. a baby
shower favorite.

23) The Baby Shower Name Game - Ask each guest to choose a baby name. If the sex is not known, have
the women write down the name of boy or girl. If the sex of the baby is known, have them write down both a
first and middle name. When they're done, set a timer and tell them to write as many words they can by
using only the letters in the names they have chosen. Whoever writes the most words wins!

24) Guess the Chocolate - (Materials- 5-10 diapers with 5-10 different types of chocolates). This game is
one of the funniest and most popular baby shower games. Have the baby shower host or appointed person
moderately melt 5-10 different candy bars separately, placing each one in a diaper to be viewed by
everyone. Mark each diaper as A, B, C, D, etc. Have everyone guess which candy is in each of the diapers.
Make sure to use some candies that have nuts, toffee, caramel, etc. You are sure to get great laughs!

25) Guess the Baby Animal Name - Have each baby shower member write down every animal that has a
specific and different name for its young. For example, Lion-cub, Cat-Kitten, Dog-Puppy, etc. Give everyone
ten minutes to write down as many as they can think of. Read the winners out loud to see how many people
got the same answers. Click here for a downloadable/printable copy.

26) Name The Family (Materials - pad of paper and pen for each team or person). Another baby shower
game favorite is to come up with as many animal "family" names as possible that are different (i.e., fish -
school : wolves - pack: geese - gaggle: lions - pride: elephants - herd: etc). make it a little easier on each
team by creating the name of the animal on each groups' sheet and have them guess the right word for that
animal family.

27) Name The Baby (Materials - pad of paper and pen for each team or person). Have each team write
down as many proper names of animal babies as possible (i.e., duck - duckling, fish - fry, lion - cub, cat -
kitten, dog - puppy, and so on). Make it a little easier and give them the name of the animals and have them
guess the babies. The internet is a great place to find the names of animal babies.

28) Creative Child Chocolate (3C's) Game - (Materials - chocolate bars of different types, pad of paper

29) Baby Shower Lotto (Materials- Calendar with large calendar month dates, highlighter pen, and normal
pen). Have the calendar of the month that the mother-to-be's baby is due at the front door for guests when
they arrive. Each day is divided into two parts: am and pm for the guests to choose from in picking the date
and general time the baby will be born. Make sure to have the due date highlighted. Guests can "buy in" to a
lotto ticket for a certain day (am or pm) that they think the baby will be born. The guest who guesses closest
wins a baby shower gift, of course given after the baby is born. The fun part of the game is that the lotto
tickets can be purchased by using something other than money that is useful to the parents. Instruct guests
beforehand that a lotto tickets may be purchased with a diaper pack, baby bottles or baby whipes, etc.
(Thank you to our visitors who gave us this great baby shower game!)

30) Never Say Baby (Materials - beads for each guest to wear around their neck). Set the rules when the
guests arrive and take a necklace that no-one is allowed to say the word "baby" during the baby shower or
whoever hears these words from a guest, takes that guest's beads. The guest who collects the most by the
end of the baby shower will get a prize. A very fun game and a baby shower favorite.

31) Mother, Mother, Who Am I (Materials - Pad of Paper and pencil/pen for each baby shower participant)
- This is a real fun and quizzical game where you give clues about "Famous Mothers". For instance, who is
the mother of nursery rhymes (Mother Goose), who is the mother of helping others (Mother Theresa), What
mother went to the cubbard to fetch her poor doggy a bone? (Mother Hubbard), etc. This is a great baby
shower game to play at the party and I am sure you can think of more Mother examples.

32) Do You Know What It Is (Materials: 10-15 baby items, 10-15 small paper bags, writing utensil, paper
for each baby shower guest). Sort the baby items (q-tips, nail clippers, pacifier, etc.) into the paper bags (one
item per bag) and number the bags 1-10 or 15. Give each guest a pad and pen and have them number 1-10
or 15 depending on how many bags you prepared and then hand out the bags randomly to the guests. Each
guest or team at the baby shower will try to figure out what is in each bag based on what they can feel and/or
hear (the bags can not be opened). The bags are passed around until everyone has had a chance to touch
and write down their answers. The mother-to-be then opens each bag and shows it to the guests. The guest
who gets the most correct gets a prize, if there's a tie they have to answer a question about the mother-to-
be. For an added bonus, make a really hard item (shoulder pads, baby nail clippers) a bonus at the end; for
the one who guessed it correctly gets a bonus prize (if there's a tie, have them answer a question about the
mother-to-be).

33) Make A Baby (Materials: Small containers of play-dough). Each person at the baby shower is given a
small container of play-dough and everyone has 5 minutes to create a baby (using just one container). Then
each dough baby is placed on a plate and presented to the mother-to-be who then looks at each dough baby
and decides who's she likes the best. The winner gets a prize.

34) Feed The Baby (Materials: Bib, baby spoon and baby food jar for each couple that are chosen). The
object was to be the first to feed a jar of food to your partner. Baby shower participants are broken up into
two person teams. One teammate is given a bib and the other is given a tiny spoon. When the mother-to-be
says go, begin feeding the participant who is the "baby". The first baby shower team to finish the jar wins.
You will laugh hysterically! Enjoy the game!

35) Name That Baby Tune (Materials: CD Player or Cassette Player). Just like the popular game "Name
That Tune", you can play the same game with baby songs. See which baby shower guest can guess the
baby song the quickest. The person at the baby shower that guesses the most baby songs the quickest wins!
Fun to also play in teams and keep score!

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.

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!

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!

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. 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.

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. 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!

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!

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.

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!"

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.

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!

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. Practice 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.

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.

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.

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

diapers to start with!

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.

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

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.

56) Baby Shower "Guess What's In The Bag" Game (Materials: Paper Bags of different sizes to fit

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.

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).

60) Baby Shower Memory Game (Materials: Poster Board, paper, candy bars, pen, tape) - Take a large
piece of poster board with 20 small (3x5) pieces of paper lined up in number order (1, 2, 3...) with five across
and four down. Under each paper was a word has a match under another paper. Example: 1 was "Baby Girl"
and 20 was "Baby Girl". The players choose two numbers, trying to match the words. Each match was given
a prize. "Baby Girl" received a Baby Ruth candy bar. "Laundry" received a Mounds candy bar, "Daddy"
received Sugar Daddy candy, "Breastfeeding" received Milky Way, "Contractions" received Good and Plenty,
"Epidural" received Lifesavers, "Bottle" received Baby Bottle Pop candy, "Crying Baby" received Screaming
Sours candy, "10 pound baby" received Whoppers. (Find candy at the candy store, and make up your own
words!) Everyone loved this game! We didn't know what candy was going to be given out, so it was fun to
guess while people were playing the game.

61) Baby Shower Onesies (Materials - Plain white onesies/different sizes. decorative permanent paints
that are safe/non-toxic, cardboard) - Place small cardboard in each onesie as support and pass out the plain
white onesies of different sizes to guests and have them write their names on the bottoms to dry shortly after
guests arrive. During the baby shower, pass out the respective onesies back to the baby shower guests and
have them decorate the front/backs of the onesies. The mother-to-be keeps the onesies and they serve as
good memorabilia of the shower and a useful gift for the baby.

62) Piggy Bank Advice (Materials: Piggy Bank and have everyone bring change) - Have a baby shower
guest purchase a cute piggy bank and have each guest place some change in the piggy bank as they give
the mommy-to-be helpful or funny advice. It does not have to be expensive since guests can deposit spare
change or currency into baby's bank while giving useful advice. It is also fun for one of the baby shower
planners to write down all the advice and who it is from for the parents-to-be to read it later and when they
need it most :) This also helps starts the baby's piggy bank off which is nice!

63) Baby Sock Match Game (Materials - different color brand new baby socks and stopwatch) - Have two
people at a time race to see who can match the most baby socks. Take 10 pairs of baby socks for each baby
shower participant and give them 30 sec to match as many as they can. Make sure to separate the baby's
socks before playing. A great way to have fun and also stock the mommy-to-be with new socks.

64) Baby Hold'em (Materials: deck of cards, baby shower gifts and baby shower poker lovers) - Just like
playing Texas Hold 'Em. Instead of using money the "buy in" is with a baby gift. This lets the men (or women)
play a little poker and those who do not or do not know how to play can learn and not lose any money. The
winner of the Hold 'Em tournament wins a gift instead of cash. You'll be surprised at how "big" the bets and
raises are in this hold em game which benefits the parents-to-be.

65) Clothes Pin Game (Materials: Clothespin for each baby shower guest) - All the women are given a
clothes pin (they also sell pink/blue ones at party stores) and the baby shower guests are not allowed to
cross their legs. Any baby shower guest who is caught crossing their legs gets their clothes pin taken away
from the person that caught them. The woman with the most clothes pins wins a prize.

66) Dress The Baby (Materials: Baby life-size dolls, onsies, diapers, socks, shoes, shirt and pants for each
baby doll and stopwatch) - Have each team race to see who can dress the baby doll the first. Each person
(or team) must have everything correctly on the baby doll when saying finished. Points docked for missing
articles or articles not placed on right. A really fun game and a great way to collect some clothes for the
mother to be at her baby shower when the game is finished.

67) Quarter Back (Materials: Piggy Bank and Money) - For those who are having a couple's baby shower, a
father-to-be baby shower or women who love sports, watch the superbowl or any sports game. The rules are
that all the baby shower guests have to watch the game in absolute silence: no yelling, no cheering, nothing.
If you do yell out, there is a baby's piggy bank in the middle of the room, into which you have to deposit a
quarter for every offense. This is a great way to start the savings for the baby!

68) Receiving End (Materials: Plastic life-size baby dolls, diapers, wipes, baby powder, desitin, apple juice,
chocolate) - Have someone get each baby doll ready with a current "soiled" diaper that has both apple juice
and chocolate. It is even fun to make some of the dolls full of apple juice by placing a hole in them and filling
them up. Have each baby shower guest choose a doll and change it with a clean diaper. It may be fun to do
this if everyone is distracted (like watching a movie, sports game, etc). It is also another great game that
goes with game #67 for the dad-to-be and their friends. Sure to get some great laughs.

69) Cotton Ball Scoop - (Materials: Cotton Balls, 2 Large Bowls, Large Spoon) - Fill a large bowl with
cotton balls (doesn't matter how much) place this bowl in a baby shower guest's lap. Grab another large bowl
and place it on a baby shower guest's head and ask them to place one hand on the bowl that is on top of
their head (the host can help hold the bowl). Blindfold the guest and hand them a large spoon (soup spoon,
mixing spoon) and make sure this spoon is deep enough to pick up cotton balls. Each guest has 5 chances
to spoon out the cotton balls and place them in the bowl that is on top of there head. The guest with the most
ball wins! Remember they cannot use hands only the spoon. This is so funny because everyone thinks they
have cotton balls in the spoon and they are being very careful but when they look at their bowl they have
nothing! A great baby shower game.

70) Baby Bottle Thaw - (Materials: mini baby bottles 1/2" - 1" for each baby shower participant and plastic
shooter cups or medicine cups) - put the baby bottle in the small plastic shooter cups or medicine cups and
fill with water and freeze (this would mean that the bottle is frozen in the shooter cup/medicine cup). At the
shower give one to everyone and tell them the baby wants the bottle, they have to melt the ice by breathing
on it or holding it, whoever gets their bottle out first wins.

71) Baby Shower Food Race - (Materials: 4 blindfolds, 4 baby bottles, 4 plates, 4 baby food jars) - Get all
baby shower guests that want to participate in pairs of 2. Each pair gets a baby food jar, baby bottle with
apple juice(or some other type of drinkable liquid) and a blindfold. The one person in the pair that has the jar
of baby food will get blindfolded and will have to feed their partner while both sitting across from each other
in chairs. When they are done with the whole jar of baby food, the person blindfolded has to drink what is in
the bottle to win. The first team to do this the quickest while racing wins! You can also have fun by replacing
the babyfood with Jell-O or pudding to make it taste better but place it in the jars for authentic purposes :)

72) Baby Scrapbook (Materials: Scrap book, ribbons, stickers, colorful pens etc) - A real neat baby shower
activity is to make a baby scrapbook for the parent's to be. Give everyone a page to create borders, pictures,
and little sayings so you can place them all in the book for the mother to be to use when taking pictures of
the birth and on. It is a great way to have everyone participate in the memories. It is even fun to take a
picture at the party of every baby shower participant and place it on the back of the page so you know who
did the page for you and who attended the baby shower.

73) Memorize It - (Materials: Piece of paper and a pencil for each guest) - Have a tray filled with lots of
baby items; bottle, rattle, jar of food, etc. Have the mom-to-be walk around and show the tray to each guest.
(They will begin to try to memorize what's on it!) Then, having pre-prompted the mom-to-be, to excuse
herself to the restroom. Direct the guests to write down what the mom-to-be was wearing, NOT what was on
the tray! You might have the mom-to-be wear extra jewelry, sweater, etc. beforehand.

74) Baby Gift Bingo (Materials: Square cards with 4 or 5 squares across and down with pictures of baby
items in each square - i.e., bottle, pacifier, blanket, clothing, diapers, etc - and a pen for each participant) -
This is similar to bingo but is played while the mom opens gifts. Give each baby shower participant a square
card with 4 or 5 squares across and down. The very middle is a freebie. All the other squares are filled with
baby gift items that the mom may receive while opening her gifts such as pacifier, blanket, clothing, diapers,
etc. Each card needs to be a little different in layout of the gifts and some cards have items listed that others
don't. This way there will not be 5 people getting the bingo. The goal is to get a line of items across or down,
sometimes if nobody is close then let the participants take the four corners as a winner. The person(s) with a
line or bingo get a baby shower prize. This is fun for guests to do while the mom is opening the gifts and it
keeps everyone involved.

75) Baby Shower Right and Baby Shower Left - (Materials: a baby shower prize and the following story to
be read) - DIRECTIONS: Form a circle with all baby shower participants. Each time you hear the word
"right", pass the baby shower wrapped prize to the person on your right. When you hear the word "left", pass
the baby shower prize to the person on your left. When you finish this story the person holding the item is the
winner of it. Have either the mommy-to-be start the game or choose who holds the prize first. Here is the
story to read when playing:

This is a story about Mrs. Wright's baby shower tea party. She lived right at the end of Lefty Lane, the third
house on the left. Today, Mrs. Wright's was hosting a baby shower tea party. The women would enter left,
right through the front door and greet Mrs. Wright, they would head right down the stairs, turning left then
right into Mrs. Wright's family room where the mommy-to-be was.

Two of the girls were left-handed so they would sit at the left of the table. Mrs. Wright held up her right hand
and all of her friends grew quiet, except the left-handed girl on the right patting Mrs. Wright's dog named
Hefty Lefty.
Mrs. Wright asked Sarah Wright and Julie Wright to pass out the teacups starting to the left. Sarah Wright
and Julie Wright started out left but turned back because they left the cups just to the right of the table, right
next to the spoons. Mrs. Wright said, "That's all right."

Mrs. Wright began to serve her friends some pie when Grandma Wright smelled the delicious desserts and
left her bedroom to join the Wright girls. She went down the stairs and turned left than right, right into Mrs.
Wright's family room.

Grandma Wright knocked and entered left and sat in the rocking chair on the left. Sarah Wright and Julie
Wright invited Grandma Wright to join them at the table.

Grandma Wright had been to many baby showers as a young girl and right before they realized it, Grandma
Wright was telling them a stories from when she was the mommy-to-be and went to the right cabinet and in
the left drawer were pictures of her baby shower.

As the party ended right on time, they all put their dishes right in the left side of the sink and thanked Mrs.
Wright and Grandma Wright for such a wonderful time. Soon, all of the women from the Wright baby shower
tea party turned right than left, then left again to return to the front door and out to the right car that they
arrived in. Down lefty lane they went. Now who ended up with the right gift?

76) Match The Socks - (Materials: socks, bag, timer) - Go out and purchase 10 pairs of baby socks and
place them into a bag shaking and mixing them up. Time each person to try and match as many socks as
they can in 1 minute. A fun game as well as a great way to get 10 pairs of baby socks for later use by the
mommy-to-be.

77) Baby Shower Give-Away - (Materials: Envelopes to match the amount of attendees, Paper to Fit Each
Envelope, Tub or Basket, Decorating Materials for tub/basket, Pens) - Purchase a nice basket or tub and
decorate it with baby type art. Purchase blank white envelopes that have a baby shower theme on them or
just plain envelopes. Place the basket or tub on the table at the baby shower and have each baby shower
guest fill out the front of the envelope with their address. In each of the envelopes, give them a little paper to
write a message or advice for the mother to be. Have each guest leave the envelopes unglued. At the end of
the baby shower, have the mommy-to-be select one envelope from the pile and give out a baby shower gift!

This envelopes can later be used by the mommy-to-be for writing thank you notes and saving her time. The
tub or basket can be used as well to store baby shower gifts, supplies, bathroom stuff at a later time!

78) Pass the parcel (gift) - (Materials: baby shower gift (one for mother to be), newspaper, gags, several
instruction stickers which are blank stickers that you will create, a baby doll with diapers and sippy cup,
blindfold, rubber glove, oversized tongs, bib) - Wrap a gift with around 10 or more layers of wrapping paper
and add an instructional sticker to each layer (see below for some ideas). Some of the stickers should say,
"GAG" which means the baby shower participant has to do whatever the gag states (see ideas below). Pass
the parcel/gift without music but according to instruction stickers stuck on the outside of the gift. So the
package may say: pass the gift to someone wearing pink. That person wearing wearing pink then takes off a
layer of packaging. They may receive a prize, a gag, or just the instruction of who to pass to next. Keep
going until the final wrapper which has a sticker stuck on it saying "pass this to the mother to be" and have a
gift for mother or baby.

Some of the ideas for the gags may read: (or think up some creative ones yourself):

• "Oh no! Baby has just pooped. Change his diaper blindfolded within 30 sec and win a prize" Then
have the guest complete the activity.
• "Oh no, baby's hungry. Have the guest drink a cup juice/milk through a sippy cup within the time
limit.
• "Oh no, baby's bored. Sing them your favorite nursery rhyme"
• "Oh no, poopy diapers in need of soaking! Lift tissues (the dirty diapers) from one bowl to the other
using rubber gloves and oversized tongs while blindfolded. If they all land in the new bowl then win a
prize.
• "Messy baby! Wear this bib until this game is over"
• "Mommy has just informed daddy that her water broke. Daddy's first words are________?" (this can
be quite funny if daddy is known to say silly things)
Passing instructions, Be as creative as you want with this. Some ideas are, pass the gift to:

some one wearing a blue shirt/ glasses/ socks/ earrings ect.

someone who has most recently had a baby
someone who has the most children
someone who has the most daughters (or sons)
three passes to you left
three passes to you right
pass to the person directly across from you
some one who either has all girls or all boys
someone who is an aunty
someone who is a grandmother
someone with blonde hair
someone wearing pink
someone who is not related

79) Mommy Multi-Tasking - (Materials: two 5-6 foot pieces of rope, clothes pins, baby clothes or baby doll
clothes, 2 laundry baskets, 2 baby dolls, and 2 telephones (you can use a toy phone, a cell phone, or
whatever is available). To play this game, you have two people hold the ends of the rope. The players must
hold a baby doll on their hip, talk on the phone (they must actually engage in a "conversation" on the phone)
and the must put clothes (that are piled in the laundry basket on the floor) on the rope using their clothes
pins. You put a one or two minute timer and the player to get the most items hung on the rope with out
dropping the baby or stopping talking on the phone wins! The baby shower guests get a huge laugh
watching everyone struggle withthis awesome baby shower game!

80) The Baby Shower Waddle Game - (Materials: Balloons, 2-4doz Eggs, 3 Soup Spoons, 3 Large Bowls,
3 6-12ct Egg Crates, 3 Chairs) Take your guests outside (this may get messy) and have them form 3 teams.
Each guest much blow up a balloon large enough to fit under his/her shirt to resemble an expectant mother.
Have the teams for 3 lines. Place a 6-12 ct (dependant on # of guests) egg crate on a chair by the 1st
"Waddler" in each line. About 3-5 yards away from the "Waddlers", have someone from each team hold a
large bowl filled with 8-14 (dependant on # of guests) eggs. Give a spoon to the 1st Waddler in line. When
the Mother-To-Be cries "Waddle Waddle", the 1st players begin waddling (one hand on back or underbelly
and the spoon in the other) to the person opposite them holding the bowl of eggs. The "Waddlers" scoop an
egg out of the bowl with spoon (they can only use one hand!) and waddle back to place the egg in the crate
on the chair and give the spoon to the next "Waddler". If someone drops their egg they must go back and get
another one. The first team to fill their crate wins.

81) All About Friends - (Materials: Paper or Paper Plates, markers/pens for each baby shower guest) - Ask
each baby shower guest to privately write something about themselves that no-one really knows. As our
baby shower guest Mary states, "It really added a lot of fun to the game as I showed the picture and read
from the back. Then the other guests had to guess who the mystery person was. It was hilarious to find out
who roller-skated competitively, who took cello lessons and who forgot her to wear her skirt to school one
day and just went in her slip! One of my 80+ year old guests was a cheerleader and star of her high school
play."

82) Having A Baby - (Materials: Balloons) - Split all the baby shower guests into 2 or more teams. Give
each person a balloon (having a few spare balloons as well for popages). When you shout "Go" Each team
has their first member blow up their balloon and stuff it up their top. When they finish placing it in their top,
the second and then third team member does the same until the entire team is pregnant (fun to play with a
coed group as well). When the last person in the line becomes pregnant, the first person needs to give birth
and pop the balloon until the whole team have popped their balloons. The quickest team "giving birth" wins.

83) Winner Takes All - (Materials: Piggy Bank, "All Detergent") - The piggy bank is passed around and
everyone puts there spare change in it. Then each person is given the chance to guess how much change is
in the piggy bank. The person who comes the closest to the right amount wins "All" laundry detergent and
the mom-to-be gets all the money! This is a very entertaining game...especially when you see the face of the
person who wins the detergent.

84) Egg Nesting - (Materials: Color Easter Eggs or Little Pumpkins, or X-mas Stockings, ect...) - This is a
great game around any holiday as you can use the symbol of the holiday for an item for each baby shower
guest. Eggs work great because they also represent fertility. Take and fill each egg with one square of toilet
tissue per egg. As baby shower guests arrive, each guest including the mommy-to-be takes an egg.
Throughout the party, guests are not to leave their eggs unattended, except to go to the restroom, eat, or
participate in a game that requires hands on. If they must set down their egg they need to ask another guest
to egg sit for them. Throughout the party, eggs (as many as a guest has in their possession) can be taken
away if another guest sees an egg unattended or being neglected or if they are dropped. the person at the
end of the party with the most eggs wins a prize.

85) Watch What You Say - (Materials: Pen and Paper). This is just a game where laughter is the prize!
While the mommy-to-be is opening her gifts, have the host or one of the guests write down everything she
says while she is opening each baby shower gift. When she has finished opening all the gifts, tell the guests
that you would like to read something to them! Say this is what the mommy-to-be said to her man the night
she conceived the baby! Then read each little saying from the list! You will have everyone rolling in tears.
Here are some funny sayings that was said at my sister's baby shower:

"Oh my gosh I've never seen one like this before!"

"Oh that feels so soft."
"Awe its so little."

86) Name Tag Donation Game - (Materials: piggy bank, name tags, pins or two sided strong tape) Before
the baby shower, make name tags for the guests. The names have to be baby-related like pacifier,
circumcision, dirty diaper, burp rag, etc. Put all the name tags in a bag and as the guests arrive, each will
draw a name out of the bag and pin it on their shirts. This will be their name for the rest of the baby shower. If
anyone calls the guests by their REAL name, then they have to put a quarter or just loose change in the
baby's piggy bank. By the end of the party, the baby has a great amount of money for their first piggy bank.
This is a very fun and hilarious game.

87) Guess The Baby Shower Bill - (Materials: Various useful baby supplies and gifts) - Have someone
purchase baby shower useful products (i.e., lotion, baby wash, Q-tips, diaper cream, wipes, etc.) and place
them in a basket or decorative container. Baby Shower guests will then guess the total amount of the bill.
The person who is closest without going over will win a baby shower favor but the mommy-to-be would get to
take home the goodies. Works best if you have one receipt for all the items.

88) Pins in Rice - (Materials: bowl, white uncooked rice, safety pins) - First, get a bowl and pour a bag of
white rice into it. Then you put a lot of different sized safety pins and blindfold the baby shower attendee.
Each baby shower participant has to get as many safety pins and they can within 1 minute.

89) Diaper Raffle (Materials: Diapers, baby shower gift) - Place a card in the baby shower invitations that
says "Have the chance to win an Extravagant gift basket! Bring a bag of diapers to enter your name in the
raffle! You may enter as many times as you like!". Make a large gift basket and fill it full of fun stuff any one
would love! A great, simple and easy way to get the mother-to-be tons of diapers which she and her
significant other will appreciate!

90) Tinkle In The Pot - (Materials: two quarters for each baby shower participant, masking tape, pickle jars
or glass bowls, balloons optional) - Every pregnant woman is always running to the bathroom. This game lets
us laugh about it. Group participants in teams of 4 or 5. Be sure to have two quarters for each person and
jars/dishes as there are teams. Place a tape strip at a starting line on the floor. Have teams line up behind
the starting line. Place jars across the room from each team. Baby shower contestants must place the
quarter between their knees and waddle to the jar. They must drop the quarter in the jar (tinkle in the pot).
NO HANDS ALLOWED!! If the person misses or drops the quarter along the way the must start over. Each
teammate had to go twice. The first team to make all of their potty runs will win prizes. Because there are so
many winners we had small inexpensive gifts. This had the ladies rolling with laughter. We also had some
hilarious photos afterward. It is also fun to put balloons up your shirt. You can not see the pot while playing).

91) Don't Cross Your Legs - (Materials: safety pin for each guest and yarn/string) - Give everyone at the
baby shower a baby safety pin with a piece of yarn or something to wear it around their neck. Each baby
shower participant should have this from the beginning of the babyshower and if you see anyone that
crosses their legs that baby shower guest can take their safety pin. The baby shower guest with the most at
the end wins. You'll notice that its so hard not to cross your legs!
92) Baby Shower Memories - (Materials: Digital or Polaroid Camera, pens, paper, scrapbook, double stick
tape). A great idea and most memorable baby shower activity/game is to have every baby shower guest to
get a picture taken and write on a little paper some advice or funny information about the parents-to-be which
will eventually be shown to the baby as they grown and see who was present at their baby shower. It is great
to place your name, relation to the parents-to-be, with a funny memory about the parents-to-be and advice
for the new baby in later life! A very memorable baby shower present and activity.

BABY SHOWER GAME GUIDELINES

Ask Mommy-to-Be

When you’re starting to plan the baby shower, make sure you talk to the mommy-to-be about the games that
you’re planning. She might have a favorite game she played at friend’s baby shower or might not like other
games. By talking to the Mommy-to-be, you’ll be sure to play games that she will enjoy.

Consider the Guest List

Often, the baby shower guest list will include the mommy-to-be’s friends and family members, and some of
the guests might not know each another, especially out of town relatives. A fun game will encourage
everyone to mingle and break the ice. You can also play popular or traditional games to help bridge
generational boundaries if grandparents are among the guests.

Play Early

Games make a great icebreaker, so play a game early in the party. Try to schedule one of your games for
after everyone arrives, but before food is served and gift opening.

Tie Games to Your Theme

After you have decided on the baby shower theme, including your decorating and menu, choose a game or
two that goes with the theme. Also, choose games that are easy to play. If they’re confusing or hard to play,
some guests will not have fun.

Be Organized

Prepare your baby shower game materials before the party begins. If one of the games requires writing,
make sure that you have enough pens or pencils for everyone. Put all of the baby shower game materials in
a place you will remember so you stay organized and no one will be waiting while everyone gets what they
need to participate.

Prizes! Prizes!

Games are fun to play, but a great prize makes it even better. You may decide on a game prize that fits with
the baby shower theme. Prizes don’t have to be extravagant gifts… just a little reminder for the winner of the
great time she had at the baby shower party.

Be Enthusiastic and Take Pictures

If you're excited about the games, your guests will catch your mood. And, make sure to take lots of pictures
during the game so that mommy-to-be can have great candid photos for her baby shower scrapbook.
