Baby Shower Bag Word Scramble

Materials: lunch bags, scissors, paper, pens
Think of some great baby related items (pacifier, stroller, breast pump, baby shower) and write the letters on cardboard paper with a marker. Cut up the letters of each word and place them in different paper bags. During the baby shower, give each two baby shower guests a bag and have everyone figure out what words they can make with the letters they are given in each bag. The winner is the one who completes their word first. Make it more difficult by placing the word baby in front of any words like "baby pacifier", "baby buggies", "baby onesie" and let every baby shower participant know that there are two words. A great and easy baby shower game to play!

Guess the Baby Gadget

Materials: parts of baby products, obscure baby items, paper, pens
Purchase some baby shower gifts that you don't mind opening (i.e., stroller, toys, breast pump, etc) and take out only a specific part of the product to see how many people can get them right. Choose around 10-20 and hold them up during the baby shower and have everyone write down what they think the product is from. This is really fun to play if having a co-ed party as the men usually have no clue in what the item is which makes it a lot of fun! Give a baby shower gift to the person getting the most right. Make sure you know which items go back in which boxes so you have functional products. This is a great baby shower game and a great way to purchase gifts you can give the parents to be after the shower is over. Thanks to Haidee in the UK for this idea!
