Posted In: baby games, baby shower by Infant Care

Choosing games for your baby shower can get quite demanding. While looking out for games, choose the most unique ones. Select those that each one in the crowd will enjoy and have fun. Hilarious games are an add-on to the baby shower. You can have virtual, activity based or writing baby shower games. Keep in mind that each game you choose must be related to babies.

Stick to the theme of the shower while selecting the games. Some nice and thrilling games have been mentioned below:

M&M’s baby bottles guess

Material required – a bag of M&M’s, a baby bottle of the medium or large size, papers and pens for all the participants.
How to play – empty a bag of M&M’s and fill them into the baby bottle up to the rim. Count them and keep a record of the count. Close the bottle tight and place it in any central place, from where it would be visible to all. Hand over a piece of paper and a pen to each of the participants. Ask them to guess the number of M&M’s and write it on the paper along with their names mentioned. Once, everyone is done, collect the papers, check them and find out whose guess was the closest or equal to the exact count. The closest guesser wins the game.

Build a bank for the baby

Material required – a piggy bank and name tags for each of the guests with different names like crib, baby bottle, stroller, pacifier, formula, bib, etc.
How to play this unique baby shower game? – This is a fun activity rather than being a game. In this, you have to give each of the tags made to all the guests as they arrive. Ask them to wear it on. Now, during the shower, all the guests must call each other by the name mentioned on the tags. Whoever makes a mistake of calling anyone by their real name, has to put .50 cents in the new baby’s piggy bank. At the end, the piggy bank is handed over to the mommy to be, asking her to keep it as the baby’s first savings. Variation – you can eliminate those who make mistakes instead of asking them to put money into the bank. Through elimination, the last one left in the game wins.

Baby trivia – printable baby shower game

In this, you have to prepare the game well in advance. It lessens all the last minute worries and confusions. You have to write around 10 different baby items that come in at least 8 – 10 different brands. Like for instance baby diapers, baby bottles, prams, foods, clothes, etc. the participants have to write five different brands that offer that particular product.

Make a form type sheet and write all ten categories in it. Make as many copies as the number of guests. Leave five blanks under each category and ask the participants to fill this within a fixed time. The one with the most answers wins.
