Famous
Mothers
For
this baby shower game, challenge
guests to think of as many famous pairs of "mother &
child" as possible. The prize goes to the guest with the longest
legitimate list (fictional pairings are perfectly appropriate!). As an
alternative, offer guests a list of famous individuals, and have them
come up with the name of the famous parent. (For example - Judy Garland/Liza
Minelli, Joely Fisher/Connie Stevens, Patti Davis/Nancy Reagan.)

Memory
Game
Fill
a tray with lots of baby necessities such as a pacifier, bib, bottle,
nipples, teething ring, thermometer, bottle brush, baby monitor, nail
clippers, rubber duck, etc. Try to fill it with 25-30 items. Cover the
platter with a baby blanket. Pass out paper and pencils, and then lift
the blanket and show your guests the items on the tray for 15-20
seconds. Cover the tray again. Whoever can remember and record the most
items wins the game. The items on the tray can be given to the
mom-to-be.

Memory
Game with a Twist
This
is a classic baby shower game with a twist. Purchase
several baby items (diaper, bottle, pacifier, comb etc) before shower
and arrange them all on a tray. Have the mom-to-be pass the tray around
then find a reason to excuse herself. Once she is gone the hostess tells
the guests to write down as many things as the Mom-to-be was wearing
(color outfit, hair accessories, earrings etc). This will shock your
guests because they are expecting to write down the items. They were
probably not looking at the mom so it will be tough, but a fun baby
shower game.

Motherly
Advice
Upon
arriving, each guest is given an index card and is to write a question a
new mother would ask (example: How can I stop my baby from crying?)
Then during the shower, these same cards are passed back out to the
guests only face down so questions can not be seen by anyone.
Guests are to write the answer to the question on the back that they
placed on their card from the beginning. Then someone can read
question from the front and then answer on the back (This is a hilarious
baby shower game!)

Name
That Tune
For
this baby shower game, divide
guests into teams, and have each team try to think of as many songs as
they possibly can with the word "BABY" in the song. After a
specified amount of time, each team will have a list. At that time, you
can share with them how the scoring is determined. They can choose to
read their list, and receive one point per song, or they can sing a few
bars of each song, and receive five points per song. Let them know that
there will be no deductions for singing off key! The team with the most
points wins. If your group needs a little help to start with, here are a
few songs to inspire them:
I got you Babe ? Sonny and Cher
Baby Face ? Art Mooney
Yes Sir, That's My Baby ? Frank Sinatra
Maybe Baby ? Buddy Holly
Love Shack ? B-52s
You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby ? Bing Crosby
Baby Baby ? Amy Grant
Baby Love ? Diana Ross
Babe, I Love You ? Styx
Baby of Mine ? Bette Midler
For a slight variation on this baby shower game, ask teams to come up with titles of
Nursery Rhymes, famous Parent/Child pairs, or animals and their babies
(for example - swan/cygnet; pig/piglet; frog/tadpole).

Next
Mom-to-Be
This
is a fun and simple baby shower game. Tradition
says whoever brought the seventh gift opened at a baby shower will be
the next to get pregnant. I made a badge with a picture of a pregnant
woman and the caption "I'm Next!" for her to wear.

Nursery
Rhyme
This
is another easy baby shower game. Pick
certain lines from nursery rhymes and have the guests figure out which
rhyme the line came from. Example What! Lost your mittens. Answer
Three Little Kittens

Pudding
Game (Great for Couples Showers)
This
game is the best baby shower game ever! Before the baby shower, buy
those already made pudding cups for each person playing the game or whom
you think would play this game.
Before you start the baby shower game, pair up couples across of each other, blind
fold them, and put a trash bag over them so their clothes won't get
dirty.
Start the timer for 30 seconds or how ever long you prefer, and as soon
as you say "GO", each couple will have to feed each other as
fast as they can. The couple who finishes their pudding first wins!!

Switch
or Keep
Deal
out a deck of cards to the guests. Each guest receives three cards. You
might have to deal two decks. Keep two decks of cards for yourself. Yell
out the cards. Those with corresponding cards then hand them to the
hostess and grab a gift. There should at least be five gifts (non
expensive, be creative). This gift can be kept by the recipient or taken
by another person playing. The next card is called and the game
continues with the gifts being passes around until the last card is
called. The gifts are then opened by those who still have one. ENJOY!!!

The
Bag Game
For
this baby shower game, you'll
need large paper bags (you can get them free at the grocery store!) Give all your guest a bag and have them to place the bag over their
head. Then ask the participants to take off something they really don't
need. It may sound boring but it is so funny when you see women taking
off rings, shoes and even clothing not thinking it's the bag on their
head that they really don't need. And of course whomever takes off the
bag first is the winner! And the participants who still have the bag on,
you continue to ask them to take off something they really don't need,
if the participants still don't get the hint just tell them without
laughing too loud to take that silly bag off their head(s).

Touch
and Tell
Label
10 pastel colored (adult-sized) socks with numbers 1-10 by using small
pieces of paper attached with safety pins. Fill each sock with a
different small "baby item" such as a pacifier, mucous suction
syringe, formula scoop, thermometer, nail clippers, baby brush, rattle,
teething ring, bootie, etc. Give a piece of paper labeled with numbers
1-10 and a pencil to each guest, and pass the socks around the room.
Guests can only feel the outside of each sock to try to guess what is
inside. The person with the most correct answers wins the game---but
it's not as easy as it sounds! This baby shower game is great fun!

Venus
and Mars (Great for Couples Showers)
Divide
the players into two teams, men vs. women. Send each team into a
separate room or on opposite ends of a big space. Give each team
index cards and a pen and have them come up with gender-based questions
designed to stump the other team. The women might ask: What's a bobbin?
What is Martha Stewart's area of expertise? How much does a newborn
weigh? The men might ask: What's the role of the carburetor? Who played
in the first Super Bowl? What does RAM stand for?
After
the cards are finished, place them in two piles in the center of the
room. Each team member will stand and take a card from the opposite
team's pile and try to answer the questions. Teams get one point for
each correct answer. The team with the most points at the end of this
baby shower
game wins.

When
I Was Born
Ask
guests to recount the story of when and where they were born, and to
offer any special details of unusual events surrounding their birth.
Based on the warm and inspiring conversation, provide prizes for a few
of the following: "longest labor", "highest birth
weight" (there's a 10 pounder in every group!), "most
interesting birth environment", "traveled furthest from
birthplace to be at this shower", etc.

Who
Am I?
Write
the names of famous people the same number of stickers as there are
players of the game. Place
a sticker on the back of each player. Players mingle and ask each
other questions to try and figure out the name on their own backs.
Players may only answer yes or no to questions. First person to
correctly guess the name on his or her own back wins.

You
Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby
Prior
to the baby shower, contact your guests and ask them to send you one of their
own baby pictures (or have them bring the photos to the shower). Number
the pictures with post-it notes or attach the photos to a piece of
poster board with numbers assigned to each picture. Hide the photos
until all the guests have arrived, or the early arrivals will have an
unfair advantage. Distribute paper and pencils to your guests, then
display the photos. Have guests try to identify who each baby has grown
up to be! The guest who identifies the most baby faces wins the game.
