A Look At Some Popular Baby Shower Games Today

Baby shower games are a necessity at any baby shower. They add fun and laughter to the day as well as allowing everyone to relax and be comfortable. That is especially important when you have a mix of families at the shower and not everyone knows each other. Here is a look at a few of the popular games played at baby showers today.

Remember the old childhood fun of Pin the Tail on the Donkey? Now you can have the same fun with a game called Pin the Sperm on the Egg. This is played exactly the same way except you have an egg in place of the donkey and sperm in place of the tails. Blindfold a player and see how close they can get the sperm in the egg for lots of laughs.

Who is This Baby? Is a wonderful game to get to know each other and to see how much everyone has changed since babyhood. Each guest will bring a baby picture of themselves to the party and the host will pin or tape them to a board. Each picture will have a number underneath and the players will then write down their guesses.

Guess Mommy’s Tummy – This is a fun way to show off the growing belly for the mom-to-be and a lot of fun for everyone there. Allow each guest to cut a piece of ribbon or string in the length she believes will match the girth of the mommy’s waist. Then everyone can try to fit hers around the mommy in waiting’s waist to see who is the closest.

A baby shower is all about talking about the new baby, so if you want a challenging game, play Don’t Say Baby. This one is sure to have a few people out in the first minute. Set a period, depending on how long the shower will be, where no one can say baby. Whoever does, gets a big baby safety pin to pin on their shirt. The last person without a pin is the winner, although likely dying to say baby.

Baby Food Taste Test – Soon the new mommy-to-be will know everything there is to know about baby food, so this will be a perfect way to allow her and everyone else to know what it actually tastes like. Take the labels off a few jars of baby food and mark them in some way so you know what they are. Then, give each player a baby spoon and let the taste testing begin. The one that can correctly guess the different flavors will be the winner, and most likely the one with the most kids.

Ever have one of those friends or family members who seem to be a know it all? They declare to know everything there is to know about babies. Well a game of Baby Trivia may prove them wrong. These can be picked up anywhere in stores or online. It is similar to Trivial Pursuit but instead of how far is the sun from earth, you’ll have questions like, how many diapers does a baby use in a year. The questions are sure to stump a few people and surprise all of you.

A good baby shower has good baby shower games. They are perfect for getting everyone together with laughter and fun. These are just some of the most popular games today; you can make up your own also to have a bit of fun with. No matter what game you play, everyone is sure to leave laughing and the mom-to-be happy.
