Great Baby Shower Games

Great Baby Shower Games

There definitely seems to be a bit of a baby boom on at the moment, so if you've got a baby shower to host, here are 3 simple and fun games to get the girls giggling.

  • When I was a baby – A great one to help everyone feel involved

    In your invitation ask each guest to bring with them a picture of themselves as a baby. Take the picture from each guest as they arrive and lightly pencil on the back a number, being careful not to damage the photo and make a list so you can tell later which photograph corresponds with each guest.
  • Give each guest a piece of paper and pencil, show all the guests a photograph and tell them the number then tell them to write down whose photograph they think it is, then do the same with the next photograph… etc. The guest who identifies the most photographs correctly is the winner!
  • TIP: Send a little e-reminder via myinvites.com.au.com.au a couple of days before to remind everyone to bring their baby pic!
  • Guess the baby food game

    Get approximately ten jars of baby food and remove the labels, as you remove each label number the jar and make a list of the contents of that jar number. To play the game each guest has to guess what is in each jar by looking at the jar. A variation on this can be by allowing the guests to open the jar and smell the contents or you can put the contents on paper plates and give them a spoon so they can actually taste the baby food…hmmm… yum!
  • The Cotton Ball Game

    With this game you will need two large bowls, one of which should be filled with cotton balls plus a large kitchen spoon and a cloth to use as a blindfold. Ask for 3-4 volunteers for this one. Blindfold the guest and give them one minute to transfer as many cotton balls from one bowl to the other just using the kitchen spoon. Make a note of how many of the cotton balls each guest can transfer in 30 seconds. The guest who transfers the most cotton balls is the winner.
  • Because the spoon is quite heavy and the cotton balls are quite light it is very difficult to tell whilst blindfolded whether they have anything in the spoon – so they will spend most of their time transferring an empty spoon. This can be pretty funny for others to watch.
