Baby Hide-n-seek

Materials: baby doll, timer, paper and pen
Use a small baby doll and hide it in the house, in the yard or wherever you have the baby shower venue. Give guests a number starting from 1 to however many are playing the game. Have the mommy to be try and find the baby. If it takes the mother to be 10 min. to find the baby, whoever has the number 10 wins the prize. You can also have everyone look for the baby and give out a baby shower gift for the winner or present the gift to the mommy-to-be. Give the baby doll to the mommy-to-be as a gift.


Pass the Baby
Materials: baby doll, blind fold, chairs
Have all the baby shower guests sit in a joining circle; Mother to be has a blind fold on sitting in a chair in the center of the circle. Someone starts to pass the baby, and the mother-to-be tries to guess who has the baby. The faster you go the more fun it is. When mother to be guesses who has the baby that person wins a baby shower prize.

Guess Her Age

Materials: photo copies of mommy-to-be baby photos, pen, paper

Before the shower, get about 10 pictures of the mother-to-be from birth to present. Copy the photos on to one or two sheets while numbering each photo and make additional copies. At the baby shower, pass the photo sheets around. Each baby shower guest has to guess how old the mother-to-be is in each picture. This is a great conversation-starter baby shower game.

Baby Shower Diaper Raffle

Materials: Gift basket, paper, pen

A very easy baby shower game is to ask everyone on their baby shower invitation to bring a box of diapers if they want to be entered into a raffle. The raffle can be for 2 wine glasses and a bottle of wine or something that someone donates that is appealing to your baby shower guests. Each person that brings the packages of diapers are entered into a raffle where they can win the prize. This is a real easy baby shower game that will supply the new parents with tons of needed diaper supplies. Be sure to list what type of diapers you want (for newborns) so they don’t purchase the wrong ones.

Diaper Dilemma

Materials: different foods and liquids and pack of diapers

Take several baby diapers and spread different types of food or drink on them (that makes them look like "soiled" diapers). Use items such as peanut butter, soy sauce, apple butter, chocolate frosting, spicy mustard, apple juice/grape juice, brown gravy, mashed avocado, dark syyrup, coffee/tea, chocolate pudding, etc...you get the idea. Each person must sniff the diaper and guess what the "offending" substance is. The person with the most correct guesses wins.

Fill a glass jar with money before guests arrive (change and dollar bills). When the baby shower guests arrive, pass th jar around for the guests add more money in the jar. Later, have guests guess how much money is in the jar. The person who guesses closest to the dollar amount wins ALL! (a gift bag containing ‘ALL’ detergent, that is). Take a picture of the winner’s face when they learn they are not getting money, but laundry detergent. The mommy-to-be ends up with the jar of money!
