When you are planning a baby shower, you want to do more
than worry about the baby shower games. Here are some
simple to do, inexpensive baby shower games for the next
party you host:
1. The Baby Name Game: All you need are several sheets
of paper and some pencils or pens. All party goers get a
limited amount of time to write potential baby names for
the mother. Stipulations can be made on the game, like all
names need to begin with “A” and “S” or they need to be
names that could be used for both a boy and a girl. The
party attendant with the most names on their list at the
end of the time limit wins.
2. The Tummy Game: All you need is a large roll of yarn
and the future mommy’s tummy! All the party goers will cut
a piece of yarn that they believe represents the size of
the future mommy’s tummy. At the end of the game, an actual
piece of yarn will be cut that represents the size of her
baby belly. The person who has the piece of yarn that
matches the actual measurement closest wins.
3. The Tray Game: This game can be used for several
situations, but none are as fun as the version for a baby
shower. Place all kinds of items that will be used with new
baby on a tray: a disposable diaper, wipes, a rattle, a
bottle, a pacifier, a baby blanket…anything that a new mom
would need. The more items on the tray, the harder the game
will be. Show the tray to all the party goers for about one
minute. Provide a piece of paper and a pencil and give
everyone 5 minutes to write down as many items off the tray
that they can remember. The person who remembers the most
items wins. (Items from the Tray Game can be given to the
new mother as a gift from the party host.)
Prizes for all your baby shower games can be small, like
scented candles or perfumed soaps. All of these baby shower
games are simple, inexpensive, and will make your next
shower a big hit!
