Baby Shower Game Ideas

Many baby shower game ideas have been thought of for baby showers. There are many games that can be played including printable games, retail games, and also free games that you can create yourself. Here are some ideas:

1) Baby Bingo - Played just like normal bingo, except instead of letters and numbers, there are pictures of baby related items, like pacifiers, bottles, carriages, and storks. To create your own bingo cards, you can use a word processor to create the grid and then import clipart. To find free clipart, do a search on the web for "free clipart".

2) Shower Raffle - A baby shower raffle is a neat way to give prizes and favors to your guests. The raffle numbers can be printed on the invitations with instructions to bring the invites to the party. The numbers can then be drawn from a baby bottle as prizes or favors are presented. It is nice if everyone gets a prize.

3) Pin the pacifier on the baby - Get a picture of a cartoon baby (or a real one) and print it out on your printer or at a print shop. Also create a sheet with pacifier pictures on it and have it printed out on an adhesive sheet. People who want to play will be blindfolded and then try to pin the pacifier on the baby's mouth. The winner can receive a prize.

4) Baby word jumble - Think of as many baby related words as you can and then mix them up. You can easily create this game and print it out on your own computer. Contestants will have a certain amount of time to unscramble as many words as possible. The person who gets the most words wins.

5) Baby word find - Create a grid on a word processor on your computer. Add as many baby related words as you like and then fill in the other boxes with letters. The winner is the team or person who finds all the words the fastest.

6) Baby scrabble - Get a normal scrabble game and reward extra bonus points or another turn for baby related words. This game can be played in teams and using more tiles than a normal game of Scrabble.

7) Pictionary - Think of as many baby related words or terms and print or write them on some cards. Contestants can draw the items and have other people guess them.

8) Nursery Rhyme Game - Here's another easy game to prepare. Take a popular nursery rhyme, omit some words, and then print it out. The object of the game is to fill in all the missing words and the winner is the first one to complete the rhyme.

9) Baby Name Game - Have your guests come up with as many baby names as they can within a certain time limit. Another variation is to see how many baby related items they can come up with. To make things more interesting, only allow certain letters. These letters can be drawn from a Scrabble bag or picked randomly.

10) Baby Mad Libs - Write a story about the new mother or baby and then omit some words and replace them with a blank space marked noun, verb, etc. Have your guests come up with words to fill in the blanks and then read the story to everyone.
