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.

Mommy-To-Be Baby Shower Pee

Materials: All you need are pens and paper

Everyone knows that the mother-to-be needs to make many stops to the bathroom when pregnant. Have everyone guess before the baby shower starts how many times the mommy-to-be will pee during the baby shower. Give a baby shower prize to the guest that guesses the closest! Thanks to Malinda for this great baby shower game.

Baby Shower Baby Name Purse Game

Materials: paper, pens
Hand out paper with the baby-to-be's name written downwards (one letter per line), then ask the baby shower guests to find an item in their purse that begins with each letter in the baby's name. The first guest to complete the most letters first wins! If the name is short, use the first and last name.

Birthday Card Game
Materials: Construction paper, pens, crayons, stickers, envelopes
Give each baby shower guest an envelope and piece of construction paper. You assign each guest a number one through the number of guest present. Whatever number they get is the birthday card they have to make for the baby! Example: If you get 5, you have to make a birthday card for the baby's 5th birthday! Lots of fun and creativity for all baby shower guests. You can scrapbook the cards for great memories!

Baby Shower Shirt Game

Materials: Pink and/or blue baby shower napkins and pen
Give each baby shower guest a napkin, pink or blue , and have them hold it behind their back. Tell every participant to make a baby shirt by tearing the best they can behind their back with out looking. Time limit of 4 minutes. Once they take the napkin from behind their back, they cannot do anything else. Have each participant write their name on the back of their creation and place in a row on the floor. Let the mommy to be pick out the best one.

Baby Shower Link Game

Materials: Paper, pen, plastic container and scissors

Think of baby shower items that relate to a newborn actions like the following:

• Diaper Changing = baby powder, rash cream, diapers, wipes
• Sleeping = pacifyier, noise machine, rocking chair, night light
• Feeding = spoon, bottle, jar, pump machine
• Playing = rattle, teddy bear, chew toy, ball

Create cutout items of each category and place them in separate containers. Have teams take out one item at a time to see how fast they can guess the right answer. Come up with more obscure items to make it harder as well as other categories. A different variant of the game is to mix all pieces together and see how many can come up with the right newborn activities with the right items in each category as teams.
