A baby shower isn’t just about gifts (which are great, specially if they are BabyBoo); it’s also about creating memories and having fun with friends and family. If you’re looking for some engaging games to spice up the party, here are a few ideas that will have everyone laughing, bonding, and celebrating the mom-to-be!
1. Guess the Baby Food Flavour
One classic game that always brings lots of laughs is Guess the Baby Food Flavour. Simply purchase several jars of baby food with different flavors and remove the labels. Guests take turns tasting each one and trying to guess the flavor. It’s a fun way to spark conversation and make everyone giggle at the strange combinations!
2. Baby Bingo
Create your own bingo cards with baby-related items like nappies, bottles, and babygrows. As gifts are opened, guests can mark off the corresponding items on their cards. The first person to get a full line wins a prize! It’s a great way to keep everyone involved during the gift-opening portion of the baby shower.
3. Don’t Say “Baby”
This game is simple yet entertaining! When guests arrive, give them a clothespin to attach to their clothes. The rule is that they can’t say the word “baby” during the party. If someone catches them saying it, they get to steal their clothespin. The person with the most clothespins at the end of the event wins a prize!
4. Nappy Raffle
Encourage guests to bring Nappies by offering a Nappy Raffle. Each guest who brings a pack of nappies gets a raffle ticket for a chance to win a prize. This game not only adds excitement but also helps the parents-to-be stock up on one of the essentials they’ll need most!
5. Baby Bottle Chugging Contest
For this game, fill baby bottles with a drink (like juice, mocktail, or if adventurous maybe a cocktail). Guests race to see who can finish the bottle the fastest without using their hands. It’s hilarious to watch, especially when adults are trying to drink from tiny bottles!
6. Guess the Baby’s Birth Stats
Before the baby shower, ask the mom-to-be for details like her due date, the baby’s predicted weight, and length. Have guests fill out their guesses on a card.
7. Baby Photo Matching Game
Ask guests to bring their baby photos before the shower. At the party, display all the photos and have guests match each baby photo to the adult guest. This game is a fun way to share laughs and learn more about each other.
8. Pin the Dummy on the Baby
A baby shower twist on the classic “Pin the Tail on the Donkey”, this game involves blindfolding guests and having them try to pin a dummy on a large poster of a baby. It’s a light-hearted, silly activity that everyone will enjoy.
9. Baby Shower Charades
Incorporate a baby-themed version of charades! Write down baby-related actions, like “changing a diaper” or “rocking a baby to sleep,” on pieces of paper. Guests take turns acting out the tasks while others try to guess. It’s a great way to get everyone up and moving!
10. Name That Baby Tune
Play short clips of songs with the word “baby” in the title and see who can name the song the fastest. Whether it’s “Baby Baby” by Amy Grant or “Baby One More Time” by Britney Spears, this game is perfect for music lovers.
