Don't say
"BABY"
Each guest receives a clothes pin as they arrive and
explain to the guests only once: If you catch someone saying the word 'baby' you get to take their clothes
pin. The one with the most pins at the end of the shower wins.
- Suggestion: Instead of using safety pins, make
candy pacifiers. Use white certs (the ones like
lifesavers), pink or blue ribbon, and jelly
belly jelly beans. How to make: Put ribbon
through the cert, and then glue a jelly bean in
the center. Note: Tell guest not to eat the pacifiers.
Play the game the same way, but wear the
pacifiers around the neck. Thanks - Amanda -

The
Price is Right:
Just like TV, purchase several baby items and keep the
receipt. Have the items out for the guests to see, and have them write down what
the price of each item. The one closest without
going over to the actual price wins.
Word Scramble
Two versions:
1. Take words of baby items and mix up the
letters, then have guests unscramble the words.
Do 10-15 and make so tough the most correct
wins.
2. (as an ice-breaker) Use the expecting mother's
first and last name, create teams of 2-3 end
have each team come up with as many baby terms
from the mother's name as possible. The team
with the most real words wins.

Penny
For Your Thoughts
Introduction Game - Have two pennies from
the same year, you'll a different year for each
guest. Example:15 guests, 30 pennies, 15
different years. When guests come in they are
given a penny and the other penny is put in a
jar. When all the guests have arrived the
Mother-to-be selects a penny and the person with
that corresponding year tells a little about
themselves, how they know the Mother, and maybe
a little story about the new Mom. After everyone
has spoken the Mom-to-be puts her pennies into
the jar and selects one for a prize.
Baby Food Guess
Purchase 6-10 jars of baby food, remove the
wrappers and number
then number the jars. Have the guests try to guess the
food.
Photo Game
Collect a baby photo from each guest and one of the mother,
display them and have the guests try and pick which photo is the mother
when she was a baby.
Mystery Guess:
Place odd shaped baby related objects in brown paper bags. The guests have to guess
what is in each bag without opening it.
Name the White Stuff:
Place 10 different white powdered substances in
sealed numbered plastic bags. Use things like Flour, Powdered Milk, Baby Powder, etc. Have them out
for the guests to see, and guess what is in each bag. I have made a game sheet with 10 items to
use, and a blank form for the guests to fill out.
Hang the Laundry:
Hang a clothes line at
the shower. Have a pile or a basket with baby clothes, blankets, and clothes pins. Each guest has a
certain amount of time to hang the clothes while they are holding a baby (doll) and have a cordless
phone to their ear. The ones that can hang the most clothing without droping baby or the phone wins.
Baby Bottle Drink-Off!
Fill small baby bottles with fruit juice for each guest. NOTE: Provide a variety of
juices or water ( add food coloring for baby shower colors), for those
guests with food allergies. The person who finishes the bottle first
receives a prize. It is hilarious and much harder than you would think.
This activity may be played individually or combined with a few other
ideas in a group race.

Orange
Croquet
You need pantyhose and oranges. Put one orange inside of the
pantyhose and tie the pantyhose around your waist so
that the orange is hanging between your legs. The other
orange is placed on the floor. Stand above the other orange that is on the
floor. Now, the quests have to move your hips around to knock
the orange across the floor. Whoever knocks it the furthest wins the
prize!!! We have played this game at all our baby
showers and it is very funny.

Baby Name Game
If the mommy to be has her name picked out for the baby have the guest try to form as many words
out of the babies name in 5 minutes. The person with the most wins!

Baby Balloon Game
Get a piece
of paper, cut into strips that can fit into a balloon.
On the pieces of paper, write sentences of things that
babies do. Examples: Crawl like a baby, Suck your pacifier,
Time to have your diaper changed , Time to get your hair combed,
etc... Place the pieces of paper inside balloons and
then blow the balloons up. Have the guest pop them and
do what their sentence says or they're out of the game. ( it's sometimes a good idea to pin the
strip of paper to the guest, where others can see what they're supposed to be
doing) All your guests who cooperate must do their task until the end of the
shower in order to qualify for a prize. If any guest catches a guest not
doing what he/she is supposed to be then they have to tell mom or dad and
they're out of the game. It's a lot of fun when everyone participates and
are good sports.

Something's
In The Diaper
Partially melt up popular candy bars and mush one of each candy bar into a diaper. Each guest must guess which candy
bar they think is in the diaper. Get the camera ready, everybody looks
pretty funny sticking their noses in messy diapers!

Take 2: Stinky
Diaper Game
Purchase a box of
diapers, place different foods in each diaper. Such as peas, peanut butter, beets, applesauce, and so on. Have the guest each
smell them and pass to the other guests. Each guest will
have a piece of paper where they can write down what
they think is in the diaper. The one with the most correct
answers will win a small prize. Thanks - Teresa -
