Baby Game Shower: Baby Games To Play At The Baby Shower

Baby games shower happens only once in a while and is a great occasion for having fun. After
all, baby games shower is sort of a welcome party for the bundle of joy and fun himself or
herself, the soon-to-be-born baby. Aside from the moms-to-be, close friends and relatives like
grandparents and godparents make themselves available for these occasions. And how else
one can brighten up the party but play group games? People enjoy playing games. Games give
people occasion to relate to others and develop friendships among themselves. Baby games
shower is also a way of paying homage to the mother for bearing the child.

Here are some of the more common baby shower games and the brief descriptions of how they
are played:

Sing it, baby!

Participants position themselves into a round formation. They may either stand up or sit down.
When his or her turn comes, each participant will sing several lines from a song that contains
the word "baby". Somebody from the group of participants will have to be designated as starter.
The next player to his or her right will have ten seconds to do the same after the starter has
finished singing. The next player to the right follows until only one person is left who is able to
sing a "baby" song. A song cannot be repeated. Those who repeat a song and those who
cannot sing a "baby" song within ten seconds when their turn comes boot themselves out of the
game.

Measuring up mommy

The mom-to-be becomes the center of attention in this game. A facilitator will need some two
rolls of sanitary tissue for this game. Players will be asked to guess the size of mommy's girth
with the use of the tissue. They will cut the tissue to a length of the paper which they think will
approximate the size of mommy's round belly. Each player will then wrap mommy's belly with
the tissue he or she cut to determine the winner. The one whose guess is closest to the actual
belly size wins it.

Looking at you, kid!

It is fun looking at pictures taken when we were toddlers, right? That is what this game is all
about. To get this going, those who are attending the party must be asked earlier (that is, before
they come to attend the party itself) to bring with them pictures of themselves when they were
kids. The more amusing the pictures look, the better. Upon arrival of participants, party hosts
will collect the pictures and assign numbers to them. At game time, the pictures will be laid on a
table and each participant given paper and pen. The task is to identify or recognize as much
picture as one can by writing the identities on the paper. The participant who gets to identify
correctly the most number of kids wins the game.

Don't say baby

This game will refrain oneself (in the spirit of fun) from saying the word "baby". This can be
tough considering that the event is called baby game shower. Diaper pins are given to
participants at their arrival for the baby game shower. Every time a participant says or mentions
the word "baby" a pin is taken away from his or her possession. The participant who gets to
retain the greatest number of pins when the party ends collects a prize.

Baby truth or dare

This is a question and answer game. Somebody will be asked to prepare true-or-false trivia
questions about babies in general. As the baby game shower gets going, participants will be
asked in random to answer the trivia questions. Those who respond or answer the questions
correctly will win a prize while those who do not will be dared to do anything he or she likes for
everyone's entertainment.

The seventh gift

This game is inspired by the single lady who grabs the wedding bouquet lobbed by the bride
after the wedding rite. Belief has it that that lady will come to be the next bride. Here, the baby
game shower partakes of somewhat similar fable-like turn when the gifts are unwrapped. The
lady who gave the seventh gift that gets unwrapped is tossed to become the next woman on the
family way. Here is a tip: Make sure that the seventh gift is not "planted" so as to make it truly
fun and exciting.

Dig out the pins

Players scramble to fish out diaper pins from a big bowl full of uncooked rice. The game runs for
two minutes. The player who collects the greatest number of pins wins the game.
