| Baby Photos |
Unoriginal but still one of the best ice-breaking
Baby Shower Games! Ask all guests to bring a baby picture of themselves
or better still, post one in advance. Take each baby picture and arrange
them onto a board. Assign each picture a number. Each guest gets a
piece of paper and has to match the adult guest name with the corresponding
baby picture. The guest with the most correct matches wins. Use the
pictures as name tags after the game. |

| Top Baby Songs |
Sort your guests into teams and get them to write down
as many songs that have the word baby in the title in 3 minutes. The
team who has the most song titles wins. The losers sing a baby song
chosen by the winners. |

| Drop Potato Game |
Buy 1 Potato and 1 Jar making sure the Potato can fit
in the jar. Place the jar in the middle of the room. Each guest places
the potato in between their knees and tries walking to the middle
and dropping the potato in the jar. Who ever does it stays in. Start
with a big jar (or bucket!) and get gradually smaller until you have
a winner. Use a small balloon for an easier version. Alcohol helps
enjoyment of this game! |

| Bottle Suckers |
This game is especially good when its just
for the guys at a mixed Baby Shower Party! Fill one 4 oz.baby bottle
per person with water or juice. Time the suckers to see who can finish
the bottle the fastest. Its great watching grown men (or women) suck
from a baby bottle! For more fun, 'set up' one contestant (father-to-be?)
by using a teat with a very small hole or even seal one bottle completely.

| Pillow Talk |
Just for fun, not a game. Write down everything
the mother-to-be says when she opens her gifts. After all the gifts
are opened, explain that her comments were 'what she said on the night
the baby was conceived'! Read her comments out loud for some hysterical
inuendos. Some Grannies may not appreciate this! |

| Baby Food Tasters |
Buy 10 jars of baby food. Provide a list
of the 10 flavors. Cover the jars with foil and write a number on
the side of each jar. Give everyone a plastic spoon, paper plate,
and paper and pencil. Pass around each jar of baby food and have players
drop a spoonful and write the number next to it. Get them to taste
the samples and try to identify each flavor on the list. Remove the
foil to reveal the answers. Try sweet potato as a 'hard to guess'
option. Get the camera out to record some great faces! |

| Baby Birthday Card |
Give blank cards and envelopes numbered
1 to the number of guests (say 16) to each guest. Ask them to write
a birthday card to the baby for that year of his/her life with appropriate
comments and advice for that time of their life. It's a great gift
for the baby, especially as a means of remembering older relatives
who are present at the Baby Shower Party. |
#6 |
| Dress the baby |
A great game for a mixed sex Baby Shower
but you need 'good sports'. Tell all female guests to bring a diaper
bag with an outfit to dress their baby. As couples arrive send them
to a bedroom where the wives dress their husbands as heir babies.
Give prizes for cutest, ugliest..etc.. baby. |
#7 |
| Teenage fumblings |
Again this games' best for a mixed sex party (ideally)
and only for 'good friends'! Blindfold 2 guests and stand them in
the middle of the room facing each other. Attach 5 clothespins on
each player in strategic places. The players must then search the
other player to find the clothespins. Whoever finds all 5 first wins.
It's camera time again! |

| Play Dough Babies |
Provide half a can of dough per guest and
ask everyone to make little babies. Tthe mother-to-be then judges
and the winner gets a prize. Peaceful game. |
#9 |
| Perfect Baby |
Make a list of questions relating to the
baby's character and appearance e.g. hair, eyes, bottom, sense of
humor, intelligence..etc... Get guests to write down which of the
attributes the mother would like the child to inherit fom her or the
father. Compare their answers with the mother's-to-be most perfect
baby list. Themost correct answers wins. |
