Pregnancy is filled with physical and emotional changes for the expecting mother. It is as stressful as it is exciting. Baby showers are events primarily intended to ease of tensions in the ‘mother-to-be’s mind. A fun filled experience is what a mom- to- be richly deserves. Plan interesting games for baby shower parties so that guests and the mother feel special and enjoy the celebration. Here are a few fun ideas. Do not forget to throw in some great bay shower décor and mommy’s favorite snacks too.
Fertilization – This is a favorite among games for baby shower events. Blindfold the women at the party and have them pin a string or ribbon (the sperm) to a large drawing of an egg on the wall. The lady that pins the sperm closest to the egg gets a prize for fertilizing the egg!
Dream Baby – Games for baby shower parties must also have some craft and art in them. So here is one such game. You will need to collect baby pictures from magazines and divide your guests into groups of three. Hand each group a pair of scissors and glue stick with a large sheet of card paper. Every group gets its own set of baby pictures too. Now ask each group to make a “dream” bay with features cut out from each of the baby pictures and stick on their card papers. The teams can also write in a special wish or greeting for the mom-to-be. Have the mom-to-be select her favorite “dream” baby from the collage cards.
Mommy Tummy – This game is a hot favorite among games for baby shower celebrations. Give each guest a roll of string and a pair of scissors. Ask each one to guess the size of the pregnant mother’s stomach around the middle and snip off the string accordingly. Measure the actual stomach size with another string and compare it with those that the guests have cut. The winner is the one with the string length closest to mommy’s tummy.
Baby Expert – Mothers are expected to be experts with babies. Here is a chance to quiz mom-to-be about things she might need in early mother hood. Blind fold her. Give her a bag full of mixed objects like baby diapers, creams, clothes, bottles and other bay things. Have each guest call out a “baby situation”. For instance, baby is hungry or has a diaper rash. The mom-to-be must now find the right answer for the situation by searching the bag for a bottle or nappy rash cream as the case may be. This is really among the funniest games for baby shower parties.
