Baby shower games are a traditional part of any baby
shower celebration. It's one of the best ways of providing
entertainment for the guests. Most of these games are
simple and fun to play. Some of them are relatively new and
are not usually played in the celebration.
Clothespin Game
One of the easy and popular baby shower games is the
clothespin game which usually goes on for the entire
duration of the celebration. Once the guests arrive at the
event each of them is given a clothespin where they must
clip their clothing. Rules will be explained before the
game is started. One rule of the clothespin game is that no
one is allowed to cross his or her legs. The person who
will be caught crossing legs will have to give his or her
clothespin to the person who caught him or her. This rule
will run within the entire event. At the end of the baby
shower the person who has the most clothespins will be
declared as the winner. A small gift will be given to the
winner. In some baby shower events, the clothespin game has
a variation of allowing the person who caught the one
crossing legs to say the word "baby".
Baby Guessing Game
Another old time favorite baby shower games is the "baby
guessing game" whereas every guest is required to bring a
baby photo of herself. Once the guests arrived they need to
attach the baby photo that they brought to the provided
board. Before this game starts the guests are given the
pencil and paper that will be used in figuring out who is
in the baby photo to be shown. The one who can do the most
correct guessing will win.
Ribbon/String Game
Among the many baby shower games the "toilet paper,
ribbon or string game" is considered to be one of the
funniest for everyone. It can be an option either to use
toilet paper, roll of ribbon or string for the game.
Whatever item chosen it is needed to be passed on around to
every guest. The item will be cut or torn by the guests
accordingly to the length that will be fit the belly of the
expecting mother.
