You have just been picked to host a baby shower for your close friend or relative. Like anyone else, you want to throw her the best party possible. You've prepared almost everything you need, from the invitations to the decorations. While you may have all the party preparations covered, one thing you may not be ready for is how guests will respond during the memorable event.
When in doubt, you can add a slew of good baby shower games to your party itinerary. Well-chosen games can break the ice and even foster bonding among guests. The internet has dozens of great suggestions for games you can have at the baby shower. People close to the guest of honor can also play their part in game preparations by acting as accomplices, referees, or information gatherers.
A number of classic party games can easily be adapted for baby showers with just a few baby-centric touches. Relay games, musical chairs and charades have rules that are basic or well-known enough that almost anyone can play them. One can also opt to give out a variety of door prizes. Guests can be given a variety of awards for having the most children, celebrating a birthday closest to the baby's due date, or having known the mother-to-be the longest.
One of the most popular baby shower games is baby bingo. It is usually played when the guest of honor is about to open her gifts. Party hosts can find downloadable bingo cards online, or they can draw up their own to give out to every guest. Each bingo card is filled with a random assortment of common baby items, such as diapers, baby bottles, strollers or crib mobiles. The objective of the game is simple, and it follows the mechanics of regular bingo.
Some baby shower games can involve a lot of guessing or answering quizzes about baby care tips. Others can be more action-oriented to involve younger or more physically fit party guests. Action games can be an especially big hit at coed baby showers since they allow fathers, husbands, brothers, uncles and other male guests to play their part in the baby shower festivities. These games can also help them become more educated on how to take care of babies themselves.
Games with a goofy or silly aspect are also a fun way to engage guests. One idea is to give guests modeling clay and try to make their best baby sculpture. To make things even more interesting, you can blindfold the guests. You can also do your own baby shower variants of popular game shows, like Jeopardy or The Price is Right. Some other baby shower games party hosts can try:
Bowling with baby bottles; Seeing who can change a diaper the fastest for male guests (it's best to use a baby doll for this game) Guessing the name of the guest of honor's future son or daughter Stuffing as many diapers as you can in a single plastic bag Naming as many songs as you can with the word "baby" in the title
