Baby Shower Parties Are More Enjoyable With Baby Shower Games

Playing baby shower games at a baby shower are half the fun of the whole party! Games are a way to get the shyness out of people that might not know each other very well and get them to participate. This is one way to make the party something everyone will remember.

Many people choose to hand out small, simple prizes to the winners. The items do not need to be costly and can include anything from homemade cookies to scented candles, hand and body lotion, teas, coffees and so on.

Not only do some people like to give the winners of the games awards, they like to find a way to make the loser stand out too. There are many harmless and fun ways to this including having the loser eat a whole jar of baby food, suck on a pacifier, drink from a baby bottle or wear a bib.

There are all sorts of games with a baby theme that the host can plan to play. For one of the games each guest will be asked to cut a piece of yarn that they think will fit around the expecting mother’s belly. Whoever guesses the closest will win a prize.

Another fun game to play is a game where the guests have to guess how many of a specific item is in a jar. For example the jar can be filled with baby safety pins or anything that is small enough to fit several of into a jar, and then each guest will have to guess how many of this item is in the jar. Whoever is the closest with their guess will win a prize. At the end of the game, the expecting Mom will be the one to take the jar full of goodies home with her.

Another game that is a lot of fun is to hand out pencils and paper to each guest. Set the timer for 5 minutes and ask each guest to jot down as many baby items as they can think of. Most people will find this game to be very easy — at first. As time goes by, everyone will start running of ideas and will really be thinking hard to come up with more to add to their list. The winner is the person with the longest list at the end of the game.

There are many ways to make a baby shower a lot of fun, but none quite as much as baby shower games. It is a sure fire way to encourage a setting filled with fun and a lot of laughter while making the new mom feel like a shining star!
