Ideas For Games For Baby Showers

Celebrating the anticipated arrival of a couple’s first child is an important event  and baby shower games are almost a necessity for this very special occasion.However, it can be pretty difficult deciding which baby shower games to choose and it may be a little tricky deciding how many activities to incorporate into the afternoon.

So try to choose baby shower games that are timed. This is the best approach to keep a tight schedule during the party. There are plenty of activities that have a definite beginning, middle and end. For example, you could have the guests list as many songs that have the word “baby” in the title as they can. You want the game to take about 10 minutes to complete from beginning to end.

The guests get about 3 to 5 minutes to write down as many songs as they can. The time is your choice but I do tend towards 3 minutes unless there is a large number of people. Baby shower games usually take a little longer to complete when there are more people playing.

Some baby shower games can take more time however many guests are present. Baby bingo is a great idea as it requires only some pens, blotters or markers and paper with grids. Guests fill in the squares with presents that they believe the mom-to-be will receive.

As the gifts are opened, the guests check off the items on their sheets. The first one to score a “bingo” wins the prize. This is one of the longer baby shower games to play but it is a fun activity that will keep everyone occupied. Speaking of winners, baby shower games should also have prizes. The winning guests can choose a prize from grab bags or the attendants can hand out presents when the baby shower games end.
