Please list your favorite baby shower games and the games you hate.
Reason: I am working on planning my best friend's baby shower and I don't want the games to suck. I want both grandmas and friends to have fun. Most of the guest are teachers so work sheets are "fun".
Games I am thinking of is gift bingo, book raffle, ABCs of baby, baby trivia, finish the baby rhyme, name the family [ animal family names] baby shower word search, pack and play set up race.
Re: NCP: baby shower games
ETA. The games you've got lined up sound great!
My favorite game is "don't say baby." At the start of the shower, all the guests get three clothespins to clip to their shirts. As the shower goes on, you are forbidden from saying "baby," "cute," or crossing your legs (the hardest one to remember!). If you catch another guest breaking the rules, you call them out and take one of their clothespins. The person at the end of the shower with the most pins wins a small prize.
I like it because the game continues throughout the shower; you don't have to halt the shower to play. It also breaks the ice a little and forces people to interact.
My SIL did a fun one for mine with DD. She broke everyone into teams of 4-5ppl and set up like a relay race. They had to put 2 quarters between their knees and then waddle across the lawn and drop it in a large pickle jar. It was pretty funny
And I didn't participate, so even better!
ETA: I would try to keep it to 3 games tops.
This. If you have a Dollar Tree or Party City nearby they have the trivia games and other non gross shower games.....that are already set up for you. One thing that was cute at a shower I went to was a jar full of diaper pins and you had to guess how many. The winner got a card for free dinner.
