If you are going to throw a baby shower you probably know that the baby shower games that will be played can make or break the happy occasion. Choose the right games and you will make memories that will last a lifetime.
So, if you are responsible for planning the party you will probably want to know which baby shower games are the most fun and have been the most popular. We'll take a look at the top two most memorable games and how to play them at this upcoming pre-baby event.
But first, before you even play even the first game, it's a very good idea to break the ice by going around the room and asking all the guests to introduce themselves. Have them also tell the group how they know the mother to be. When you do this the guests will be a lot more comfortable and less self conscious once the games begin. Now, here are the games:
What Will The Mother-to-Be's Baby Look Like?
This is one of the most popular baby shower games. In order to prepare for it you will need to give three baby magazines to each team along with a pair of scissors, paper and glue.
First, divide the group into three woman teams and give each team the aforementioned supplies. The goal of this game is to have each of the teams cut out pictures that represent different baby qualities and glue them together onto a sheet of paper. The composite will look like what they envision the mother-to-be's baby will look like.
Then, ask the mother to be to pick out which baby she thinks her baby will most look like. After she makes her choice you should give prizes to each of the members of the winning team.
How Many Safety Pins Are In the Jar?
Another favorite takes almost no time to prepare and is also a lot of fun. In order to prepare the game you will need to fill a clear glass jar with baby safety pins. Count them as you put them in and make a note of the total number of safety pins that are in the jar on a piece of paper. Fold the paper up so no one can see it and put it in the jar so it will be available when you play the game.
In order to play all you need to do is first, take the answer sheet out and put it in your pocket. Then show the guests the jar full of safety pins and tell them that you will pass it around for them to guess how many safety pins are in the jar.
After it's passed around, ask them, one by one, to write their answers down on a sheet of paper. Pull the answer out of your pocket, figure out which guest came closest to the right number, and give her a prize.
