Now, what would April Showers be without super-fun party games? Here are a few of Kimberbell's favorites next time you host a baby shower:
GAMES
Name That Baby
How to Play:
- When sending invitations, ask each guest to bring a baby photo of themselves to the shower.
- Collect all photos at the beginning of the shower and post each one with a different number.
- Distribute blank papers and pens/pencils.
- Ask guests to guess who is in each photo, writing down the name and corresponding number of the picture.
- Give a prize to the whoever gets the most right!
What Am I?
How to Play:
- Write a baby item on a notecard (one per guest). For example: baby booties, pacifier, bottle, etc.
- When guests arrive, pin or tape a card on their back.
- As guests mingle, they ask one another yes or no questions to try and figure out what item is on their back. For example, "Am I something a baby would wear on its feet?"
- When the guest correctly guesses their item, the card is removed.
Guess the Price
How to Play:
- Gather a variety of baby items (or printed-out images of the items) and put on display.
- Hand out blank paper and pens to each guest.
- Ask players to write down how much they think the item cost.
- The guest who has the closest prices (without going over) gets a small gift!
Note: You could do this as a whole bundle (the price of all items combined) for a bigger prize.
Diaper Notes
How to Play:
- Give each guest a newborn diaper and permanent marker.
- Each guest writes a funny note or words of encouragement on the back of the diaper.
- Send the mom-to-be home with a box of personalized diapers to make her smile!
All About Mom
How to Play:
- A few days before the baby shower, prepare a list of questions about the expectant mother (with her help).
- Questions can include fun facts about her life, past or present. For example: What is her own birthday? How did the expectant parents meet?
- Give a paper and pen to every guest.
- Read the questions aloud and give guests a few minutes to fill out their papers. The guest with the most correct answer wins!
