Popular Baby Shower Games

Baby showers are a great way to celebrate the soon arrival of a bundle of joy. Your baby shower guests will be sure to enjoy the day with some fun and interactive games. Occasion Giftware would like to give a ‘thumbs up’ to these popular baby shower games:

How Big Is Her Belly?
All the guests are given a length of string or yarn and are asked to cut a size that they guess will fit around the pregnant mother’s stomach. The one closest to the correct length will win a prize.

What’s in the Bag?
Several baby products are put in a paper bag and passed along. The guests must feel the bag and guess the contents. The one who has the most correct guesses wins the products. Add some creative ideas like baby food, baby powder, diapers, teething ring, syringe, etc.

Changing Baby and Distractions
A particularly fun game is to hold an interactive game with a life-size baby doll. The guests take turns powdering and changing the doll’s diaper, while the others are given instructions on distraction items to call out such as a doorbell ringing or food burning in the oven. The guest who can undress the baby, change her diaper and re-dress her in the shortest amount of time, wins.

Clothes Pins
Every guest is given a clothes pin. Whenever someone says “Baby”, the first to catch it gets their clothes pin. The winner at the end of the party is the one who has the most pins. This game promotes creative and inventive ways of talking without using “Baby”.

Matching Socks
Purchase a bunch of baby socks and throw them all into a box. Ask for a few volunteers to participate in this game one at a time. Have each participating guest match all socks while timing them. The person that matches all the socks in the shortest amount of time wins.
