Baby Shower Game Ideas

Many women experience a phase of their life when it seems that all of their girlfriends are getting married. In fact, they probably got married during this three or four year period, too. Then comes the three or four year period where everyone seems to be having a baby, and you find yourself attending or even hosting several baby showers within a short period of time.

Because of this, you may be pretty tired of the same old baby shower routine. You’ve raced strollers and competed to see who could drain a baby bottle the fastest one too many times. But, now it’s time for you to host a baby shower once again, and you’d like some fresh ideas. Here are some resources to help you find some new baby shower game ideas.

Buy A Book – There are many books of baby shower games available for very inexpensive prices. “100+ Baby Shower Games” by Joan Wai is one great choice. The Best Baby Shower Game Book by Lansky is another one. Both books are chock full of ideas for baby shower games.

Surf The Net – You’ll find loads of free ideas for baby shower games on the Internet. This is likely the fastest and easiest way to find games, and it’s certainly the least expensive. Some of the websites even have free printable game cards and sheets to print right on your home computer for use at your shower.

Ask Your Friends – Ask your friends to tell you about the best baby shower they ever attended. Find out what made it so great and what activities they had. You may get some very creative ideas from hearing what other people have enjoyed doing in the past.

Get Creative – Think of games you’ve played at other functions that weren’t baby showers and “reinvent” the game to be appropriate for a shower. For example, we’ve all played the meet and greet game where you write down one thing people aren’t likely to know about you. Then you match the person with the piece of information. For a baby shower, have them write down one thing people might not know about them as a parent (if all your guests have children) or one thing people might not know about them from their own childhood. There are many other games that can be adapted for use at a baby shower.

When it comes right down to it, baby showers are all about fun and celebration. If you keep this in mind, all the games you choose are sure to please!
