It is fun to see how many people get it right by the size of boxes, sounds the present makes prior to opening, etc. An easy baby shower game to play anywhere.
Feed the Piggy – (Materials: coins, piggy bank, stopwatch) - Get $15-20 worth of coins and hide them around the room for a hide and seek type of baby shower game.

Have her make up a story to the group, using the favors or gifts in the story. This would be for a mommy-to-be that does not get easily embarrassed but really fun to play. Maybe have others who are willing, join in and create the baby shower story.
Baby Shower Storybook – (Materials: pens, pencils, scissors, markers, stapler, tape, glue, stickers) – A fun baby shower game and project is to have all the baby shower guests pitch in and create a story book.
