Five Classic Baby Shower Games


Guess Mom’s Tummy Size: You will need: String or yarn and scissors. Have each woman pull the yarn to the size they believe would fit perfectly around the Mother-To-Be’s center of her pregnant tummy. After everyone cuts their string, compare the results to the Mommy-To-Be’s actual tummy.

How Many Baby Items Can You Name: You will need: pad of paper and pen for each woman. Have each guest write down as many baby products as they can name within 5 minutes. You will be surprised how hard this gets toward the end.

Don’t say “Baby”: You will need: baby safety pins and yarn to make a necklace. Have each woman place the necklace with the baby safety pins around her neck when she gets to the party. Explain the rules for the game at the beginning of the party. Whenever someone hears a guest say “baby” she gets the pin from the woman who says the word. You can give each woman five to ten pins to start. The person with the most pins at the end wins!

Baby Alphabet Game: Give each woman at the baby shower a pen and a piece of paper that has the alphabet written down the side of the page. The object of the game is for the guests to write one word that has to do with babies next to each letter of the alphabet. Set a timer for two to five minutes, whatever you desire, and whoever has the most baby words wins.

Guess the Baby Picture You will need: Tape, cardboard, pads of paper and pens/pencils. Ask guests to bring pictures of themselves as a baby to the shower. Gather the pictures and place them on na cardboard poster making sure you can remove them easily to return to the owner. Once you have all the pictures posted, assign each a number, and then list the names of the guests on a piece of paper you give to all the women. Have the guests write the number of the picture next to the name of the guest in an attempt to match the picture with the guest.
