Some Great Ideas for Baby Shower Games

Baby showers are a great way to celebrate a child's recent or upcoming birth. When planning for your close friend, include some fun babyshower games to keep everyone entertained. Here are a few ideas to help you get started.

The "Never Say" Game

For this baby shower game, you need small tokens to distribute to your guests. These can be anything from nappy pins to little baby-themed pendants (like miniature dummies or rattles). Decide on a "forbidden word" for the party. This can be the mother's name, the baby's name, or a word. Try to pick a commonly used word, like "yes" or "no", to make the game more challenging. If a guest says the forbidden word at any point during the shower, the person they mention the word to may take his or her token. The guest with the most number of tokens by the end of the baby shower wins. This is a popular game for baby showers as it encourages interaction and helps break the ice between strangers.

Count the Items in the Bottle

Fill a baby bottle or any clear container with little items, and have your guests guess how many there are in total. You can use gumballs or hard candy, or tiny baby figurines. You can award the grand prize to the guest who manages to guess the number correctly, or whose guess is closest to the actual number of items in the container.
