The Big Baby Game

Materials: White towel (or pink or blue), big rubberbands or string
At the begginng of the baby shower have a white towel (can be pink or blue depending on the sex of the baby) and rubberbands. Explain to the baby shower guest that the object of the baby shower game is to not cross your legs during the baby shower because a woman cannot give birth with her legs closed. Tell all your guest to scream out if they see someone with their legs crossed. The person with their legs crossed has to take the towel, place it between their legs and connect the corners and tie with big rubber band or string and repeat on other side to form a big diaper. The person with the diaper is the only one that can yell out from then on, who also has their legs crossed to then have them pass the diaper duty...and so on. This baby shower game is a blast with a lot of laughs.

Mother's instincts

Material: Baby Safety Pin.

Summary:
Baby Shower Participant 1 - will have control over the baby safety pin
Mommy-To-Be - acts as the investigator with her "motherly instincts" to solve who has the pin after all.
All Baby Shower Guests- innocent baby face

One baby shower guest is selected by the baby shower host to have a safety pin without the mommy-to-be knowing who was chosen. Have all the rest of the baby shower guests sit with their hands placed together flat against each other (praying position, with finger tips pointing up). Once this has been done, the baby shower guest holding the baby shower pin will do the same with their own hands, but between their hands will be the baby safety pin. Everyone can sit in a circle with the mommy-to-be approaching each individual and asking, "do you have the pin" and see if she can instinctually figure out by non-verbal and voice who has the pin. Each baby shower participant needs to say, "(mommy-to-be's name) I do not have the pin". Everyone should keep an innocent baby face.
