Each person must tell one funny or embarrassing childhood story. At the beginning of your baby shower, choose a word that everyone will be forbidden from saying. Anyone who gets caught using the forbidden word is out. The last person to use the word or not!
Either before or during your baby shower, decorate a small bucket or box. This game requires a little bit of preparation beforehand. Your guests can grab any Play-Doh or modeling clay for this game. Set a timer for 20 or so minutes — depends on how artistic your guests are! Hilarity is sure to ensue as your guests reveal their baby masterpieces. If your guests enjoy this sort of game, you can change the format to suit your virtual baby shower best.
For example, read out riddles and tell your guests to make the answer out of their dough. Whoever creates the answer the fastest while still making it recognizable wins! Collect about 10 photos of the expecting mom prior to the beginning of the baby shower. Post them all for everyone to see, with a number next to each photo.
If you have out-of-town guests, be sure to include on the invitation that they will need cupcake supplies. The more fun your guests have with this the more amazing the cupcakes will turn out. Plus, guests have an incentive: they get to eat their creation!
Put all of the photos on a table or a bulletin board, and have everyone guess whether the person in each photo is a relative of the mom-to-be or the dad-to-be. Gather a couple of babydolls and a pack of diapers. Put the diapers on the baby dolls. Next, blindfold several of your guests one for each babydoll. Now, have them race to remove the dirty diaper, wipe the babydoll clean, and put a new diaper on. Whoever finishes first is the winner! This game is endlessly customizable! There are so many different things you could make the subject of this trivia.
If your baby shower guests know each other pretty well, a great option is to make the trivia subject them! Before the shower, they can submit a fact about something related to them and babies. This could be anything, really: a funny encounter they had with a baby once, something entertaining they did when they were a baby that their parents still tell stories about, or, if your childhood friend is attending, something they did with you when you were both very young.
Ask your guests to submit their facts a few days before the shower so you have enough time to make a simple trivia deck on Powerpoint. Your other guests will need to choose one of the multiple-choice options — whoever they think the fact is about! Save all the correct answers for the end. At the very end of trivia, you can go back through the trivia deck and reveal the right answers. Plus, this gives your guests a chance to explain the funny stories behind their baby facts. Whoever earns the most points wins!
Make a list of animals and the names of their young. Have your guests work in teams to guess the names of 10 or 15 different animal babies. Put your guests into teams of two or three people. The team with the most songs at the end of the three minutes wins!
Examples of questions:. At the baby shower, read the questions out loud or ask the mom-to-be to read them , and have the guests call out the answers. Designate one person to be in charge of noting who guesses correctly. Think of at least 10 famous parents from American history, pop culture, or a category of your choice.
Then do some research, and write down the name of the eldest child of each parent this is your answer key. Distribute a list of the parents' names to your guests. Ask everyone to write down the name of the eldest child next to the parent's name. See who can correctly name the greatest number of children. Type out snippets from well-known nursery rhymes, but leave the end off, or leave parts of it blank, and print enough copies for your baby shower guests.
When your guests arrive, distribute the worksheets and ask them to fill in the blanks of the missing nursery rhymes. Give them five minutes to complete the sheet; whoever gets the most right wins the game. There is no prep work needed for this simple game; just press play once everyone is ready. Have the guests shout out the name of the song, and make a note of who gets it right the fastest. The person who guesses the most correct answers wins the game.
Test your guests on the cartoons they used to love as kids. Make copies for your guests, and hand them out at the party. Ask guests to fill in the name of the cartoon babies on the right-hand side.
Before the shower, gather a selection of small baby items. Then take some disposable diapers and tape them securely around each item so the item can't be seen, and write a number on each diaper. Keep a master list of the numbers and what's in each the diaper bundle. At the shower, line up the diaper bundles, and have guests try to guess what's inside each one by feeling it.
Of course, the thicker the diaper layer the harder it is to guess. The guest with the greatest number of correct guesses wins. By the way, did you know that the parents-to-be can be turning their diaper purchases into rewards? After playing this game, let the mom-to-be know that she should download the Pampers Club app so she can start earning great rewards.
If she receives Pampers diapers as a baby shower gift, she can even add the codes found in the packs and be on her way to her first reward. Before your shower guests arrive, heat each candy bar in the microwave and smear the gooey mess onto a diaper, keeping track of which candy bar goes on which diaper. After your guests arrive, have them do a "sniff" test of each diaper and guess which kind of candy is on each one, writing down their guesses on a sheet of paper.
The winning "nose" is the one with the greatest number of correct guesses. When you invite your guests to the baby shower, ask them to bring at least one package of diapers, letting them know that the more packs of diapers they bring, the more raffle tickets they will get to participate in the game!
At the shower, give your guests one ticket for each pack they bring, and then do a raffle draw where guests are in for the chance to win some small prizes, and the lucky parents end up with the packs of diapers.
Fill a basket or tray with small baby-related objects before the shower. After the quick viewing, hide the basket in another room and distribute paper and pens. Ask everyone to write down all of the items they saw in the basket. See who has the best memory and can recall the most items. Each of your guests will have a turn trying to be Supermom. At the same time, she must correctly sort the socks into matched piles and change the baby's diaper.
She cannot put down the phone while she is doing this. Before the next guest begins her turn, mix up the socks again. Fill a baby bathtub with water and put the ducks in it.
