Bring the Fun to the Shower!

Most expectant mothers or their relatives will at some point be looking to plan a party for the impending arrival. It's important to consider activities for such events to add to the fun. After all the saying goes all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and you don't want your guests to have a dull time. There are so many game ideas to choose from , for example you can do a guessing game with candy or make a pin the poop on the diaper game. Take inspiration from these Baby Shower Game Ideas which will give your guests hours of fun.

M&M Guess

Fill a plastic bottle with M&M's and have guests write down how many they think are in the bottle. The winner is the closest guess.

Diaper Pong

Make this fun game with a Tri-Fold Poster Board and decorate it with nice paper if you like. Cut out the words 'Diaper Pong' from gold paper to stick to the top of the board. Then hang Nappies for 'goals' for guests to get a Ping Pong Ball into.

Guess the Belly Size

This idea works great for a pink and gold baby shower game.You'll need some pink yarn and scissors. Guests will cut off a piece yarn they think measures the bump. You could also use this idea and measure your bump for your memory book at each trimester and show your child one day when they have grown up.

Guess how many socks

Much the same as the M&M game, except this one makes use of adorable little baby socks.

Dough Babies

Get your guests to make babies from dough. You'll need small tubs of playdoh and cupcake liners to put the creations into. Make a pretty chalkboard sign to instruct guests what they must do.

Pin the Poop on the Diaper

A funny take on pin the tail on the donkey - guests will have great fun pinning the poop on the diaper. You can use a white poster board and print off poop emojis to create it. Place a bullseye in the middle of the diaper where guests have to aim for while blindfolded.

Ice Cube Babies

You will need small dolls and ice cube trays to make up this game. You can also purchase kits online if you search for "My water broke" games.

Tie Your Shoe

Have guests put a balloon under their shirt. Then get them to sit down and tie their shoe. The person who stands up without popping their balloon the quickest is the winner.

Who's Watching the Baby

Another great game that makes use of tiny dolls. Have guests carry a doll around or wear it on their person. If they leave it down someone can snatch it. The person with the most at the end, wins.

Late Night Diapers

Fill a basket with diapers for guests to write inspiring messages for Mom and Dad to cheer them on during a late night diaper change.

Cheddar Whales

Cheddar Whales in a Mason Jar are perfect for a Nautical Baby Shower guessing game. You can purchase goldfish crackers and fill a jar with them.

Name that baby game

Name that baby game is perfect for a baby shower. Guests have to guess the name of different baby animals. For example: Horse : pony, Dog: puppy and so on. It's super fun and great for a large group.

Don’t Say Baby

You can use this idea either for a boy or girl shower. Use bow ties for boys or pink ribbons for girls. Have guests take a bow or ribbon and if they utter the word baby - it gets taken. Whoever is left with the most bows or ribbons wins.

Hillarious

Give guests a laugh with this idea. Draw a baby on a poster board and cut a circle from the face for somebody to put their head through. Put a blindfold on another person and they have to try to feed them baby food.
