tiny_mce_markero you’re holding a baby shower? Then you will need baby shower games to keep the guests entertained. While the baby shower is a good time to pamper the mom-to-be and make her feel very special there are also a number of guests that need to be kept happy for the duration of the event. Our focus here is on baby shower games, since these are always the most memorable part of any baby shower.

Baby shower games can be both silly and entertaining by overall they should be plain old fun. Some are intended to embarrass the mom-to-be, but others can really be fun and may even teach the guests something or visit www.baby-care-book.com. The promise of a prize, even something token like, always adds to the enjoyment too.

Games can be a great way to get guests to mingle at a shower especially if they don’t know each other and it is also a great ice breaker. Here are some ideas for choosing the right baby shower games:

In the planning stages of the baby shower, be sure to discuss potential game ideas with the mom-to-be. She may have some definite dislikes when it comes to baby shower games, and since it’s her day, you want to be sure to plan something she’ll enjoy and be very comfortable with.

Plan the first baby shower game for early in the party because it can make for a great icebreaker, so try to schedule it for just after everyone arrives but just before the main food courses and gift opening.

Pick a game that is connected to your theme. Whatever your decorating and food plans, you can tie it all together with a well-chosen game in the same theme.

Prepare in advance. If your game requires writing, be sure you’ve gathered up enough pens and pencils beforehand. And the same thing goes for other objects: have it all ready to go so guests don’t have to wait.

Choose creative but inexpensive prizes as token items for guests. The fun of the game should be in the playing, but it’s nice to have a prize and enters a little competitive spirit. Take pictures during the baby shower game. They make great additions to a mom’s scrapbook and as a long term keepsake for the baby.

Choose easy Games.

Games should be easy to explain and easy to play. Anything confusing or difficult takes all the fun out of it and people get bored before the game even begins.

So now that you know how to plan for the shower games, here are some of the more popular shower games for you to incorporate into your event:

Guessing the Baby Food - Remove the labels from a few jars of baby food after marking the lids by numbers. Make a list of the contents of each jar. Each person has to taste the food and try to guess what it is - pear, potato, custard, beef etc. Let everyone write down the number from the jar and what they think is in it. The person with the most correct guesses wins the game!

The Tray Game - Place a number of baby items on a tray. (Usually about 15-20). Slowly circle the room allowing each guest a chance to examine the items. Remove the tray from the room and see who can remember the most items on a paper in 2 minutes. Usually the items on the tray go to the expectant mom and the winner gets a small prize.

Guess the Girth - Check with the guest of honor in advance on this one. All you need is a ball or two of string. Ask guests to cut a length of string that they think will stretch around the future mom’s belly. After everyone has had a turn, the mother-to-be measures and cuts a string that fits her belly. Compare her string to all the guests’ pieces of string. The person who was closest wins a small prize. This is a great icebreaker and always good for some laughs.

Baby Picture Match Game - In advance, ask all the guests for pictures of themselves as babies. Assemble the photos on a pin up board and assign a number to each photo. At some point during the shower, pass out sheets of paper to the guests so they can match each baby to the appropriate grown-up. If the guests don’t know each other well, name tags can help the process. The person who gets the most correct answers wins.

Pregnancies are not an easy part of life so every new mother wants to be able to relax and have a great time at her baby shower. Planning this event involves multiple things including selecting games to keep your company entertained as well as giving out the right prizes. You want to have a time that is memorable for both you and all of your friends and family.

A popular baby shower game this is played is called pass the parcel. This is a game where you wrap up simple gifts in eight to ten layers of tissue paper, then also in gift wrap. You ask all of your guests to sit in a circle and get a stereo playing lullaby music. The guest who is holding the package when the music stops gets to remove a single layer of tissue paper while telling a sill baby story from past experiences. You can also play where the person holding the package gives the expecting mother some useful words of advice.

Another great game to play at a baby shower is called down in one. This is where you pass around a baby body that is filled with milk to see who can drink it the fastest. However you have to **** on it as a baby does and will likely see how tough this can be!

You and your guests can also play a great game called a letter for baby. In this game you choose a letter randomly by stabbing at a book with a pencil. Once this is done then everyone needs to write down a boy’s name, girl’s name, baby item, and nursery song that starts with that letter. If you have the same answer as someone else then it cancels each other out. The one who has the most unique answers is the winner.

Having a baby shower in a month…got any good games we could play?

flirty_smurf asked:


I’m looking for a baby shower game that would result in a gift being opened every now and then throughout the shower. I have in my head the idea of maybe, every time someone says “baby”, Mom opens a gift. (But then what would stop people from just saying “baby” a bunch of times so she opens them all at once?) Does anyone have any good ideas on how we could work that?
