Baby Shower Games

Executive Summary By Gail Leino

A good start off game is the ‘Baby’s Name’ contest. The guests can get into groups if they like or can work individually. Take the names of mommy and daddy-to-be and have the groups work to create fun and interesting acronyms of letters in the parents names to be the name for the new baby.

Later on, say around mealtime you can start another fun game called ‘Baby’s Bottle.’ Hand out baby bottles filled with liquid to guests who want to participate. Then, have a contest to see who can empty out all the liquid the fastest.

When it gets to be time to open the gifts hand out sheets of pink or blue construction paper for ‘Baby Bingo!’ Divide the paper into four, nine or sixteen square sections. The number of sections depends on how many gifts the soon-to-be parents will open at the party. Before anybody starts opening gifts have the guests draw or write the names of various gifts they think the mommy and daddy will receive. One gift per square, please. Then, as the parents open their gifts guests can place a poker chip or mark an ‘X’ on the squares that match their gift predictions. The first guest to complete wins a prize.
