7 Fun Baby Shower Games

7 Fun Baby Shower Games

Baby games shower happens only once in a while and is a great occasion for having fun. After all, baby games shower is sort of a welcome party for the bundle of joy and fun himself or herself, the soon-to-be-born baby. Aside from the moms-to-be, close friends and relatives like grandparents and godparents make themselves available for these occasions. And how else one can brighten up the party but play group games? People enjoy playing games. Games give people occasion to relate to others and develop friendships among themselves. Baby games shower is also a way of paying homage to the mother for bearing the child.

Here are some of the more common baby shower games and the brief descriptions of how they are played:

1. Sing it, baby!

Participants position themselves into a round formation. They may either stand up or sit down. When his or her turn comes, each participant will sing several lines from a song that contains the word “baby”. Somebody from the group of participants will have to be designated as starter. The next player to his or her right will have ten seconds to do the same after the starter has finished singing. The next player to the right follows until only one person is left who is able to sing a “baby” song. A song cannot be repeated. Those who repeat a song and those who cannot sing a “baby” song within ten seconds when their turn comes boot themselves out of the game.

2. Measuring up mommy

The mom-to-be becomes the center of attention in this game. A facilitator will need some two rolls of sanitary tissue for this game. Players will be asked to guess the size of mommy’s girth with the use of the tissue. They will cut the tissue to a length of the paper which they think will approximate the size of mommy’s round belly. Each player will then wrap mommy’s belly with the tissue he or she cut to determine the winner. The one whose guess is closest to the actual belly size wins it.

3. Looking at you, kid!

It is fun looking at pictures taken when we were toddlers, right? That is what this game is all about. To get this going, those who are attending the party must be asked earlier (that is, before they come to attend the party itself) to bring with them pictures of themselves when they were kids. The more amusing the pictures look, the better. Upon arrival of participants, party hosts will collect the pictures and assign numbers to them. At game time, the pictures will be laid on a table and each participant given paper and pen. The task is to identify or recognize as much picture as one can by writing the identities on the paper. The participant who gets to identify correctly the most number of kids wins the game.

4. Don’t say baby

This game will refrain oneself (in the spirit of fun) from saying the word “baby”. This can be tough considering that the event is called baby game shower. Diaper pins are given to participants at their arrival for the baby game shower. Every time a participant says or mentions the word “baby” a pin is taken away from his or her possession. The participant who gets to retain the greatest number of pins when the party ends collects a prize.

5. Baby truth or dare

This is a question and answer game. Somebody will be asked to prepare true-or-false trivia questions about babies in general. As the baby game shower gets going, participants will be asked in random to answer the trivia questions. Those who respond or answer the questions correctly will win a prize while those who do not will be dared to do anything he or she likes for everyone’s entertainment.

6. The seventh gift

This game is inspired by the single lady who grabs the wedding bouquet lobbed by the bride after the wedding rite. Belief has it that that lady will come to be the next bride. Here, the baby game shower partakes of somewhat similar fable-like turn when the gifts are unwrapped. The lady who gave the seventh gift that gets unwrapped is tossed to become the next woman on the family way. Here is a tip: Make sure that the seventh gift is not “planted” so as to make it truly fun and exciting.

7. Dig out the pins

Players scramble to fish out diaper pins from a big bowl full of uncooked rice. The game runs for two minutes. The player who collects the greatest number of pins wins the game.

    For some reason I always end up being the one who throws my friends baby showers. Dont get me wrong I love it… but it can be hard to come up with something really special. I love browsing around babyshower websites looking a new themes. Here is a link to a site that has some REALLY fun ideas. http://www.babyshower101.com/baby_shower_themes.html

    This is what I usually do (unless its a joint shower and in that case I just dull down the girlishness)
    I do a tea party type theme. Nothing over the top decorations… just pretty pink candles (or blue if it was someone else) fake flower pedals just laid around. I put fresh flowers around the house and also decorated flower ball type things that I hang from the ceiling. (sticking fake roses into a foam ball) I have also used paper lanterns. it all looks really pretty and very woman-ish (I know that isnt a word but the best way I can describe it)
    For food I do finger sandwiches (super easy to make) fruit salsa with cinnamon chips, a salad, and some punch.
    I have never been a big fan of games and neither are my friends so I opted to do something else. I set up a large table and laid out scrap booking materials geared to babies. Each person made a page for a baby book. (first tooth, first bath, first day home) People sign the back of each page and write a not to you or yoru baby if they like. Everyone had a lot of fun and you had something very special and one of a kind for your baby's first year.
    Good luck and Congrats!

    What a selfish bi+ch! With these hormones swirling thru me right now I would be so irate if someone dared say that they are "bringing kids regardless if I like it or not" after being told that no kids are coming. How dare she!!!! This is a party to celebrate your little one. It is about YOU and your baby and you don't want your guests distracted by her rambunctious boys. Its a perfectly legitimate request that I wouldn't back down from. Personally I don't think kids belong at showers ever.. they distract from the original purpose and what parent doesn't need adult time once and awhile.
    Knowing me and my tendency to overreact (b/c I would freak out on her), I would put my mom on this one since she seems to converse with her the most. Have your mom tell her this is not open for discussion, no kids are invited and if she insists on bringing them then she doesn't have to come. I can't understand for the life of me why your brothers wife would want to make an issue over this. It's not her party for Pete's sake. She can't dictate how things go! Hopefully your mom can handle this otherwise, you'll need to talk to your brother or his wife directly.

    so cute

  12. Comment by kisses come in fives

    You are correct–etiquette guidelines are pretty clear about the fact that the parents to-be are not supposed to throw a shower for themselves.

    If you want to have a celebration for your friends, particularly because you will be relocating, then have a barbecue for your friends at your home. It doesn't have to be a "baby shower," per se.

    1.) Let's say you have five boys, none of whom are multiples. What would you name them?

    Liam Connor
    Aidan Matthew
    Lucas James
    Tristan Seth
    Noah Blake

    2.) Certain names make me think of certain specific things. What names, when you hear them, make you think of the 80s?

    Girls:

    Jessica

    5.) What are your thoughts on these names for a boy? Jaden, Aiden, Zayden, and Kaden.

    I actually like some of these names especially Aiden although spelt Aidan. Some were very nice before they became overused but even though they are still popular I like most of them.Michael is very common but it's still a great name so I don't see why some of these can't be.

    It sounds great to me. Don't let others tell you what YOU want to do. I am glad you are making it a family thing and you are more concerned about others than gifts. I am proud of you and you should go for it.

    I'm not sure where you got all of that from, but I think you need to try again. Layout codes are long, but not usually THAT long. I would advise not to use this code.
