Described below are many baby shower games that will spruce up any baby shower.
ABC's
Have each person write down each letter of the alphabet. Everyone has to name something that has to do with a baby for each letter. This game should be timed for about two minutes. Whoever has the most items wins a prize.
Baby's First Portrait
Each guest receives a paper plate and a crayon. Each person must draw a baby. When all guests are finished, vote for the best picture.
Baby Business
Buy ten to fifteen baby objects that aren't easily identified. This can include a nose syringe, a breast pump, a teething ring, and so on. Distribute paper and pencil and ask players to try and guess what each object does. The player with the most correct answers is the winner.
Baby Food
Take about ten different baby foods and number the bottom of each bottle. Be sure to write down which baby food goes with each number. The objective is to have players guess the contents of baby food jars by sight. I guess you could do a taste contest if you really wanted to (smile) .
Baby's name
Put the baby's name on the top of a piece of paper. Make copies for each guest. Give the guests about one or two minutes to make as many words out of the baby's name as they can.
Celebrity Babies
Each guest is given a list of celebrity moms and babies. Moms will be on the left, while a scrambled list of babies names will be on the right. The object is to match each celebrity mom to the name of her baby/child. Link to example sheet.
Play-dough Babies
You will need about 2 cans of play-dough for every two people. Have each player make little babies. The mother-to-be will then judge each sculpture and the winner gets a prize.
Pin the Baby in the Mommy
Make or find a big picture of a pregnant woman and another picture of a baby. This game is just like Pin the Tale on the Donkey, except you pin the baby in the mommy.
