Baby Shower Games
The
"Can You Remember?" Game
Before
the party, place several new baby items
such as baby shampoo, cotton balls, bottle
nipples, baby cloths, soft baby toys, rattle,
diaper, and other items related items on
a large tray and display this on your coffee
table or on the kitchen table, wherever
the guests are likely to see it as they
arrive. When it is time to play party games,
start by giving each guest paper and pen/pencil,
but do not tell them why they need them.
Then take the tray away. Now ask your guests
to write down what they remember seeing
on the tray. They don't have to remember
the brand name, just the description of
the item. The guest who remembers the most
items wins. In case of a tie, ask the guests
to then write down brand names or colors
of the objects and the guest who remembers
the most detail wins (or give all the guests
with the same score a party favor!) When
the game is over, give the items on the
tray to the mother-to-be as a shower gift.
Tasting
Game
Before
the party, remove the labels from several
jars of baby food and secretly record what
each jar contains. (Hint: Use a black magic
marker to write A, B, C, etc., on the jar
lids. Then write the corresponding letter
on the back of the label you removed. Save
the labels.) At party time, gave each guest
a spoon and have them taste the baby food.
The one who can name the most food correctly
wins. (Since you have removed the labels
and opened the jars, you must discard the
remaining food. Do not give opened jars
of baby food to the mother-to-be. You might
want to buy two of everything and then give
the labeled, unopened jars to the mother-to-be
as a reminder of a fun game!)
Baby
Name.
At
party time, give each guest paper and pen.
Tell them to write down as many baby names
as they can in a minute's time (you should
have a watch with a second hand, or a digital
display to use as a timer). The one who
can come up with the most names wins. (Hint:
have a "Baby Names" book to give to the
mother-to-be as a memento of the game!)
Memories
On
the invitations ask each guest to bring
one baby item from their past, either something
they or their children wore or played with.
Have each person tell the story behind the
item. Have the guest vote on the best story
to pick the winner. As a gift for the mother-to-be,
give her a "Baby's First Year" memory book
that she can use to record memories of her
baby.
Keep
the Egg
Have
enough eggs on hand so that each guest will
have an egg. Before the party, tie a different
colored ribbon around each egg. As the guests
arrive, or once all the guests have arrived
(but before all the games begin), give each
guest an egg and tell them to protect the
egg as if it were their baby. Tell them
they may set the egg down, but they must
have the egg at the very end of the party.
Before the guests start to leave, ask the
guest to return their egg in exchange for
a party favor. Then stand back and see how
many still have their eggs (or if they remembered
where they set them down!) and if they want
to keep the egg or exchange it for a gift.
Don't be surprised if some guests have named
their egg and decide to keep egg instead
of taking the party favor! As a memento
for the mother-to-be, you can use one of
those empty plastic Easter eggs and stuff
it with a few pairs of baby socks or anything
that will fit inside the egg.
