Baby shower party game ideas??
This is the question
which comes to every baby shower hostess’ mind when she has to
plan a baby shower and also brainstorm her mind to come up with
an innovative game idea. There is also so much to be done in so
little time. You have to organize and prepare invitations, food,
drinks, party favors, schedules, and activities. You don’t want
your baby shower to be exactly like every other shower your
guests have attended.
The challenge is to come up with new baby shower games and ideas
that aren’t too complicated. You don’t want to spend half an
hour explaining to everyone the rules of a five-minute game. You
also want your games to be entertaining for your guests. When
the guests start to lose interest, the game is basically over,
whether it’s supposed to be or not.
Let the baby games begin!
The best baby shower party
game ideas are games that make your guests interact with each
other. People who attend baby showers all know the guest of
honor, of course, but they don’t all necessarily know each
other. There is a bit of awkwardness when the shower first
begins. It’s a good idea to come up with baby shower games ideas
to break the ice and let the guests get acquainted.
A great baby shower party game to play right off the bat is the
Introduction Game. The hostess starts by introducing herself,
then giving one descriptive detail about herself. This detail
can be anything. It could be her favorite color, dog’s name, her
middle name or even the last movie she saw or the book she’d
read.
The next person in line has to add their name, a detail and
repeat the name of the hostess and her detail. It goes on down
the line, with the last person adding their name and detail.
Then repeating the names and details of all the other guests. By
the time the game is over, everyone will have had a few good
laughs. And will have had a chance to talk to each other more.
Don’t discount classic baby shower game ideas for free. The Baby
Food Game is always fun for everyone. Simply buy 5 different
kinds of baby food. Remove the labels. Mark each one with a
number instead (be sure to write down which number is which
food). Prepare a paper plate for each baby shower guest. Write
the numbers 1-5 on each plate. Have each guest put a little of
the baby food from the jar with the corresponding number.
At this point, the tasting begins. Each player writes down their
best guess as to what five baby foods they are eating. The
player with the most correct guesses wins. Be sure not to buy
meat flavors just in case any of your guests are vegetarians.
