5 Fun Baby Shower Games

By B.L. Hill

Playing some fun baby shower games can really make sure the celebration you throw is fun and exciting. You can use baby shower games to add a little spice to any gathering and help your guests get acquainted and feel at ease with one another.

Below you will find descriptions of five baby shower games you can play at the next baby shower you host.

Fun Facts

If your guests know one another fairly well you can try this game.

As each guest arrives, ask them to write a fact about themselves that few people know. This may could a hidden talent, a previous job, or a movie appearance. The papers are collected, folder and placed in a jar.

Each guest will pick one sheet of paper and, after making sure it is not their own, try to guess which guest is being described.

You could also play the game by having the host read each of the facts and have all of the guests try to guess the person.

Sing It, Baby!

In this game the guests form a circle - they can sit or stand - then, in turn, each guest must sing a line or two from a song that has the word "baby" in it. When the first player has finished, the person on her right has ten seconds to sing another "baby" song. "Baby" songs cannot be repeated. Any player who repeats a song or cannot think of a "baby" song leaves the game. Last person singing in this baby game shower wins the prize!

Baby True or False

This baby game shower is for those who love baby trivia. Before the shower, Write down some baby trivia 'facts', some with correct and others purposely written incorrectly. Read out each 'fact/ and if the baby 'facts' are either true or false. The first person to call out the correct answer gets a prize.

The Name Game

Ask your guests to choose two names for the baby and to write the names on a piece of paper. Have each person find as many words of three or more letters that can be made from the letters in those names. Give the guests a time limit, for example two minutes, to write down their words.

If you ask your guests not to say the names they have chosen out loud, you add a twist by having the other players try to guess the original names selected.

Example: Catherine Lynn Nice - cat - the - then - they - care - liar - yet - lather

Example: Brandon Michael And - brand - land - clone - blame - lace - lame - carbon

Mother Goose Game

This baby shower game can be played by all of the guests. Choose several lines from different nursery rhymes and write them down omitting one word from each. Provide each guest with paper and pencil. Read these lines to the guests remembering to omit the word. The guests will try to guess what is the missing word in the nursery rhyme and write down the answer. When all the rhymes have been read, the person who has the most correct answer wins.

These are but a few of the many baby shower games that you can play to keep the next baby shower you host interesting and fun.
