Choose between 10 and 20 common words associated with babies — stroller, cradle, spit-up, etc. Then, make a list of these words with their letters all mixed up — teslorlr, edclra, utspip. Hand out copies of the scrambled word list to all the guests. Ask them to unscramble the letters and write down the real words as quickly as they can. Set a timer for 5 minutes, and see who can unscramble the most words during that time.
Write down the names of the expecting parents first and last names on a sheet of paper and distribute to each guest. Then, set a timer for 5 or 10 minutes. Ask guests to see how many names for the new baby they can make using only the letters in the parents' names. Give each guest a block or more and ask her to decorate it with different letters of the alphabet. Just make sure everyone does something different until you have a range from A to Z.
This not only lets your guests get creative, but it makes a cute keepsake for the mom-to-be and her little one. Before the baby shower, prepare a list of questions about the mom-to-be, with her help, of course. Examples of questions:. At the baby shower, read the questions out loud or ask the mom-to-be to read them , and have the guests call out the answers.
Designate one person to be in charge of noting who guesses correctly. Think of at least 10 famous parents from American history, pop culture, or a category of your choice.
Then do some research, and write down the name of the eldest child of each parent this is your answer key. Distribute a list of the parents' names to your guests.
Ask everyone to write down the name of the eldest child next to the parent's name. See who can correctly name the greatest number of children. Type out snippets from well-known nursery rhymes, but leave the end off, or leave parts of it blank, and print enough copies for your baby shower guests.
When your guests arrive, distribute the worksheets and ask them to fill in the blanks of the missing nursery rhymes. Give them five minutes to complete the sheet; whoever gets the most right wins the game. There is no prep work needed for this simple game; just press play once everyone is ready.
Have the guests shout out the name of the song, and make a note of who gets it right the fastest. The person who guesses the most correct answers wins the game. Test your guests on the cartoons they used to love as kids. Make copies for your guests, and hand them out at the party.
Ask guests to fill in the name of the cartoon babies on the right-hand side. Before the shower, gather a selection of small baby items.
Then take some disposable diapers and tape them securely around each item so the item can't be seen, and write a number on each diaper. Keep a master list of the numbers and what's in each the diaper bundle. At the shower, line up the diaper bundles, and have guests try to guess what's inside each one by feeling it.
Of course, the thicker the diaper layer the harder it is to guess. The guest with the greatest number of correct guesses wins. By the way, did you know that the parents-to-be can be turning their diaper purchases into rewards?
After playing this game, let the mom-to-be know that she should download the Pampers Club app so she can start earning great rewards. If she receives Pampers diapers as a baby shower gift, she can even add the codes found in the packs and be on her way to her first reward.
Before your shower guests arrive, heat each candy bar in the microwave and smear the gooey mess onto a diaper, keeping track of which candy bar goes on which diaper. After your guests arrive, have them do a "sniff" test of each diaper and guess which kind of candy is on each one, writing down their guesses on a sheet of paper.
The winning "nose" is the one with the greatest number of correct guesses. When you invite your guests to the baby shower, ask them to bring at least one package of diapers, letting them know that the more packs of diapers they bring, the more raffle tickets they will get to participate in the game!
At the shower, give your guests one ticket for each pack they bring, and then do a raffle draw where guests are in for the chance to win some small prizes, and the lucky parents end up with the packs of diapers. Fill a basket or tray with small baby-related objects before the shower. After the quick viewing, hide the basket in another room and distribute paper and pens. Ask everyone to write down all of the items they saw in the basket.
See who has the best memory and can recall the most items. Each of your guests will have a turn trying to be Supermom. At the same time, she must correctly sort the socks into matched piles and change the baby's diaper. She cannot put down the phone while she is doing this.
Before the next guest begins her turn, mix up the socks again. Fill a baby bathtub with water and put the ducks in it. On the bottom of one duck, make a distinctive, special marking. Get a small pool and fill it with water for everybody to stand around it, or alternatively, you could also set several small storage containers on a long table to make individual pools.
Make sure you have plenty of nipples handy. Image credit and idea: Parents. The mama-to-be will sit this one out. She has enough trouble managing life, let her enjoy seeing other people sharing her difficulties. Put wrist weights , balloons and filled fanny packs on select guests and let them play Twister , following the regular rules.
This will surely cause lots of laughter and awkward positions. They need to waddle all the way to a bucket or jar and try to drop the ball or quarter in it by squatting down. Obviously, the one who succeeds wins. Image credit: Catch My Party. This is another game that would be especially fun for a co-ed shower. Fill baby bottles with apple juice or water and time your guests to see who can chug the contents down faster. Image credit: Pinterest. Melt different types of chocolate bars in the diapers you will never look at Snickers the same way and let your guests guess what type of chocolate it is.
Use only your sense of smell and sight. This should make for some funny pictures to post on Instagram later. I have seen this idea done a few different ways, but I decided this was the PG version, and one that I am willing to put here. I had requests for a recommendation on where to find small baby dolls for this game.
Check out my suggestion for baby dolls on Amazon. Image credit: PlayBuzz. Put out various flavors of baby food with the label removed and jars numbered. Put a spoon in each.
Give a tasting spoon and bowl to each player. Have them scoop some food in their bowl and taste with their own spoon to avoid double dipping. Have them guess what was in the jar by using paper and pen or this handy printable below. In order for these games to be fun, it is crucial that you know what your guests will be okay with. When you do have your guests play baby shower games, make sure you explain the rules and the purpose of the game and provide some sort of guidance for the group.
