Baby Shower
Activities
The best
baby shower activities that are sure to get your guests laughing and
mingling.
Below is a list of baby shower games that require some physical
activity. These games are great to get your guests mingling amongst
each other. Most of the games listed below are free or cost very little
to prepare. Feel free to change the rules or the context of the game in
order to add your own creative twist that may complement your chosen
baby shower theme.
Clothes Pin in the
Bottle
This game is great fun! Have guests place a clothes pin between their
knees and walk a short distance to a baby bottle and attempt to drop the
pin into the bottle. Each time someone misses they are considered
“out.” Keep playing until the last three guests are standing, and award
the top three with a prize.
Guess Mom’s Belly Size
This activity only works if the shower is thrown for a pregnant mother,
not a new mother. Pass around a roll of toilet paper and have guests
take a guess at how big mom’s belly is, tearing off the appropriate
amount of toilet paper. Once everyone has taken a guess have them
measure her belly with the toilet paper, whoever is the closest without
going over wins! You may want to reward the three closest guests.
Baby Bottle Chugging
This is a fun game to play. Give all guests a baby bottle filled with
apple juice, punch, or another non-alcoholic beverage that you are
serving at the party. On your marks, get set, GO! It’s a race to see
who can chug the contents of the baby bottle the fastest! This game is
a lot of fun. It works best with smaller bottles to make sure your
guests don’t leave the party feeling bloated.
Baby shower
activities are the best way to bring the party to life!
Make a Play-Dough Baby
In
this baby shower activity pair up your guests (ideally pair people who
may not know each other that well in order to break the ice). Give each
pair approximately the same amount of play-dough and allow them 3
minutes to mould the best baby possible. After 3 minutes are up have
the group judge each team’s baby moulding through applause. The winning
team will receive the loudest applause.
The Poopy Diaper
This game is a classic! Crush up 3 different chocolate bars in three
different diapers; label the diapers #1, #2, and #3. Send all three
diapers around the circle and have the guests take a guess at what each
diaper contains and write it down on a piece of paper. Once everyone
has guessed and documented their guess go around the circle and have the
guests say what their guesses were. This game is sure to get the crowd
laughing!
Taste Test
This is a fun shower game. Remove the labels from 5 different types of
baby food and use a piece of masking tape to label the jars with #1,
#2…#5. Have your contestants taste the baby food contents within
unlabeled baby food jars. Watch the looks of disgust as you pass around
green beans! Have them write down their guesses on paper. Once
everyone has completed their taste testing and documented their guesses
go around the circle and have everyone reveal their guesses and reward
the person or people who got the highest number of correct answers.
