Baby Shower Pinata - (Adult Theme)

Materials: Pinata, Candy, baby shower supplies, condoms, tongue depressors, paint, pens

A fun game is to do the old fashion hit the pinata. Start by buying a cool pinata that you would like for your shower. Fill it with the essential candy; It is better to use candy that wont melt. Also, place those little plastic bottles, babies, and confetti that are shaped like baby stuff in the pinata. Besides the candy, fill the baby shower pinata with condoms, and use tongue depressors that are painted to look like pregnancy tests. Paint all of them with a negative test but one to look like it is positive for being pregnant. The person who finds the one that says pregnancy positive wins a baby shower gift.

Cucumber pass

Materials: cucumber and music

Have music ready. Have everyone makes a circle. Have a shower member put the cucumber between the knees, then have them pass it to the next person while the music plays. The person receiving the cucumber has to try to grab the cucumber without using hands. If it falls pick it up and continue playing. Once the music stops the person with cucumber still between the knees is out. ( It’s a baby shower version of hot potato).

Baby Shower SayLibs

Materials: pen and paper

This is a great game for those baby shower guests that don't want to play any baby shower games. As the couple opens gifts, you write down the statements they say regarding the gift (i.e. "It's sooo cute", "look how tiny", "I love it"). At the end, the game is "What was said on the night of conception" and you read back all the statements. Very funny!

Don't Drop the Baby
Materials: Hard Boiled Eggs, spoons, markers, pens, yarn, glue, glitter and tape for a finish line.

If the weather is nice, this game is very fun. Have everyone decorate an egg like a baby. You can draw a face and hair with a marker or you can get out some glue and use glitter and yarn. Baby shower guests will be using these eggs in a spoon race. Each person holds a spoon between their teeth or hand and balance their newly created egg-baby while trying to cross the finish line. No hands allowed!

Baby Egg Hunt

Materials: Easter Eggs, little plastic baby toys

This game is perfect for Easter or any time you want to play a baby shower game indoors our out. Purchase a pack of the empty plastic Easter eggs and have a baby shower Easter egg hunt. Use a little pack of plastic baby toys (miniature) and place one baby in 6 of the Easter eggs. In all of the other Easter eggs, place candy or a cute message. The goal of the baby shower game is to find the most babies by the end of the shower and second is to get the most eggs. Hide the eggs around the house, inside or out, depending on where you live and the season.

The first place goes to the person who collects the most eggs with babies in them. For a tie breaker, just see who had collected the most eggs. Baby Shower 101 visitor, Meghan, stated, "I worked with a pack of 42 eggs total for my party which worked fine... more or less could have worked too I'm sure." This is a great game to even play if children are present for the baby shower.

It's Not My Baby

Materials: 4 baby dolls, lullaby music and cd player/ipod
Have all the baby shower guests in a circle and pass out the baby dolls. Start playing the lullaby music (which can be a baby shower gift after the game). Stop the music randomly and whomever is holding the babies is out. As they pass the baby around, each baby shower participant states, "Not my baby". As people are removed, so are the extra dolls until there are 5 people left with only one doll.

The Price Is Right

Materials: Printed pictures of baby shower gift items, pens, index cards
Break all baby shower guests into teams and show them baby shower gift items without a price. Have each team write down their answer for each product on index cards, giving them four possible prices for each item. The team with the most answered right wins.

Water Breaks
Materials: 1" plastic baby figures, balloons, water
This is a great baby shower game ideally for outdoor showers, considering it may get a little messy. Take 8-10 dark colored deflated balloons and squeeze an artificial baby inside. In one of the balloons, put two babies in a single balloon (twins). Put that balloon inside a bigger inflated balloon with some water. Guests will have to find creative ways to pop the balloon (considering they will get a little wet) to find out if they have the twin baby balloon. The guest with the winning balloon gets the prize. Great game especially for mothers to be carrying twins or multiples!

Baby Toy Assembly Race

Materials: Two toys given as baby shower gifts that need to be assembled with an equal amount of parts, different tools to assemble

Purchase two baby/toddler toys that need to be assembled (e.g., a riding toy, bicycle, doll house) supply a bunch of different tools or even better if you have them use a butter knife instead of a screwdriver (sure to get a lot of laughs when they look and look for the flate head screwdriver, and realize there isn't one). Place baby shower guests into two different teams and see how fast they can complete the assembly.
