Baby showers are a wonderful way to celebrate the upcoming arrival of a little one. Often, baby showers bring together people from different parts of the mom-to-be’s life – family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues. To help break the ice and create a fun, memorable experience for everyone, consider incorporating some engaging baby shower games. Here are a few ideas:
**1. How Much Does It Cost?**
Prepare a bag filled with essential baby items such as wipes, diapers, baby food, lotion, and baby wash. Keep the receipt! Create a list of the items for each guest, leaving space for them to guess the price of each item. The person whose total guess is closest to the actual cost wins a prize. The bag of goodies, of course, goes to the expectant mother.
**2. Primetime Parenting**
Tap into everyone’s knowledge of popular TV shows. Create a list of your favorite TV shows featuring families, leaving blanks for the names of the children. Guests must fill in the blanks correctly. The guest with the most correct answers wins.
**3. Feeding Time Challenge**
This game is sure to get some laughs, especially if there are men in attendance. Fill baby bottles (4-ounce size) with a drink like juice. Each participant must drink from their bottle as quickly as possible without stopping. The first one to finish wins a prize.
**4. Baby ABCs**
Write each letter of the alphabet on individual index cards or pieces of paper. Each guest selects a letter and must name a baby-related item that starts with that letter. Guests then try to guess which item was chosen for each letter. The first person to guess correctly wins the card. The guest with the most cards at the end of the game wins.
No matter which games you choose, the goal is to ensure everyone feels included and has a good time. Laughter is the key ingredient to a successful baby shower!
